This 1969 Ford Mustang hardtop is powered by a 351ci V8 that is backed by a three-speed automatic transmission, and work following the seller’s 2023 acquisition involved replacing gaskets for the engine and transmission, installing a power brake booster and replacement master cylinder, and replacing the headers, power steering gear, and tie rod ends. Finished in maroon over black vinyl, the car rides on five-spoke wheels and has front disc brakes, an Edelbrock intake manifold, air conditioning, and chrome bumpers. This Mustang is now offered with spare parts and a clean Utah title in the seller’s name.
Finished from the factory in Royal Maroon, the car is equipped with a driver-side mirror and chrome bumpers. A scratch is noted, and the left window does not close tightly.
Five-spoke wheels are mounted with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. The front disc and rear drum brake setup was equipped with a power brake booster and replacement master cylinder in 2024. Other work at that time involved replacing the right rear wheel cylinder, the power steering gear, and the tie rod ends.
Black vinyl covers the front bucket seats, the rear bench, and a center console that has cupholders. Air conditioning is installed. The Mustang-branded radio does not work.
The steering wheel wears an aftermarket cover, and instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer and auxiliary readouts. The five-digit odometer shows 18k miles, approximately 100 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 351ci Windsor V8 is topped with an Edelbrock intake manifold. In 2024, the engine oil was changed, and the rear main seal and the oil pan gasket were replaced. Replacement headers were fitted, and the exhaust system was modified to fit the headers.
The three-speed automatic transmission was serviced in 2024 with a replacement pan gasket and filter.
