God must be a Mustang fan because by some miracle this 1969 Ford Mustang has survived both a hurricane and wild fires. David picked up the car two years ago after he found her sitting in a cow pasture in Southeast Texas, where she sat for the last 12 years. After learning her story, David is focused on giving her a much needed wholehearted rebuild. He has pulled the worn 351W and FMX transmission to perform a full tear down to get this wild horse on the road again.
The Mustang went through several changes in 1969. It was given a new aggressive face lift with quad head lamps which gave the Mustang a racetrack ready appearance. The body was widened by a few inches and it was given redesigned lines. The powerplant options were also upgraded with the GT 351 Windsor mill producing 250 horsepower with a 9.5:1 compression ratio, tied to a 4-speed manual FMX transmission.
Ford introduced the Mach 1 in 1969 as a new performance option. The Mach 1 proved to be so highly successful that sales for the GT’s dropped and the GT discontinued before the end of the year. Only 5396 302/351 GTs were sold in 1969 making them a rare find.
Despite her entire roof being covered in rust, her body full dents and dings, her interior full of cracks, dirt, and torn up seats she is still a great 69 Mustang. We have a great feeling that David will love and cherish this wild horse and lay down plenty of number 11s on the road once again.
