- 1969 Mustang convertible
306 w/factory 4 speed
I found this 1971 Mach 1 sitting in the original owners driveway, the man purchased the car new in 1970.
It's a factory 351 cleveland 4bbl (M code) with a C6 auto. The car runs and drives, motor was rebuilt a few years ago along with the paint being resprayed in the original color combo. It was apparently pulled out of storage recently, the owner can't drive it because of his age now.
Just from looking at it, options wise (from what I saw) it has:
351 4bbl cleveland
C6 auto
Mach 1
Deluxe interior
AC
Door speakers
Rear Speakers
8 track
Power Disc brakes
Tinted glass
Console
It appears to be very well optioned, especially being a big block car.
The body is super straight, floors and quarter panels are rust free, just really dusty and covered in dirt. The original interior is MINT with the exception of the dash being a little cracked from the sun. (But who's seen a perfect mustang dash anyways?)
Mileage is 101k original miles. It has 4000 miles on the rebuild, that's when the owner could not drive the car as much. All it needs is a battery to be driving again. Looks to even have all the smog equipment on it still.
I've worked on a fair share of mustangs, never a 71-73 car before and don't know too much about value. He's asking 15k and won't budge at all off the price, which I don't think is too crazy considering it's condition, rarity and the fact that it's one owner.
I've attached some pictures of the car, needs a thorough cleaning! (You can see my '69 convertible in the corner hehe)
