I am always available by mail at: giselagsslawson@hammersfans.com .
Offered today is one 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Fastback 428 Cobra Jet R code .First to go was the 57 T bird than the 53 Ford F 100. This car was last as it was
hoped that health improvements would come and enjoyment of this beautiful car would be. As this is a muscle car
Richie is going to stick with his Mustang 04 GT convertible automatic with power steering and AC.
This 1969 Mach 1 was originally sold and driven here on Long Island New York. Always garaged. This Mach 1 has been
driven very little since 1979. Original color is candy apple red with a black interior. This car is very solid. The
mileage is just 94, 100. The frame and floors front to back are rock solid as the pictures show. Richie is the third
owner who took possession of this car 15 years ago. A full restoration was always intended. The engine,
transmission and brakes were rebuilt. note it is originally a 3 speed stick now an automatic. The stick pedals are
still in the car. The Mach 1 was driven 500 miles over the next 4 years and than the car was put into storage.
Always fully insured and registered every year. Driven a few miles every year until 2012. After which it had had
been run every year, still the gas went bad in the tank and has been run now out of a gas can. I ran it yesterday
and it is a smooth quiet engine. It has about 500 miles on it!
The original interior has a beautiful headliner, original seats are still looking good. The red insert carpets
have to be cleaned but always had floor mats protecting them and still look really nice. The original door panels
are in great shape too, with minor cracks on the drivers side. The seat belts are present with bright brass rollers
and very nice plastic covers. This car is a perfect candidate for a survivor /driver. OR a most perfect foundation
for a top concourse restoration as it is very original.
The engine was rebuilt and I have pictures of the job. This is a COBRA JET engine. The C6 was rebuilt and
although it has not seen the road lately it does not leak and it goes into gear. The rear brake line is leaking and
prevents the car from being driven. I must say also that the gas in the tank went bad and has been run from an
external gas can. I can replace the tank and repair the brake line if Richie and the new owner want me to.
