    advice on 69 mach 1

    If it’s what you want, and you got the bucks, get it. Just to let you know, NADA has a 351 Mach 1 in “high retail” with A/C for $21,500 Like Packrat said, the “boss 351” description is troubling so check to see if it’s a mistake or if the seller really thinks it’s a 69 boss 351 Mach 1...

    69-70 door panel??

    Yea, glue in windows bite……… I got the windshield urethane I used at the local parts store. I used 3m brand. It comes on a tube like caulk. I think I paid $20 for it. I’m not saying that’s the best stuff to use. I used it and it’s worked for a year with no problems. One more thing to...

    69-70 door panel??

    If the window does need to be glued back in, you’re in for a treat. Getting my windows correctly aligned and glued in place was THE most frustrating thing I have ever done when it comes to any car I have ever worked on. You need about four sets of hands. I think I glued them three times...

    Courtesy Lights Died.

    I have an issue on that same circuit on my Mach 1. I put the fuse in and it lasts for about 6 to 10 seconds and then blows. I have not had time to track it down yet. If you need a wiring diagram, check out this site. http://www.thander.com/downloads.htm

    1969 fastback questions

    Look for rust on shock towers, lower door, lower finders front and back, inside the trunk (look under the carpet) and around the rear glass at the bottom. It’s a poor design around the window and a big trouble spot if you ask me. I had rust there that could not bee seen till I removed the...

    Proof of 1970 Mach 1?

    The tag you have could be the one from the door that's missing or it could be a reproduction. I saw somewhere that a company reproduces the door tags if you can show them a title.

    Proof of 1970 Mach 1?

    My 69 Mach 1 does not have a visible vin tag under the hood. 69 was the first year the vin to mounted on the dash and is visible through the windshield vs. being stamped on the finder. At least I think 69 was the first year. Someone help me out on that. I know I read that somewhere...

    Trac-Loc vs. Locker

    Lockers are loud. Well mine is anyway. Yes, you can hear and feel mine ratchet in and out and yes, I do get wheel drag or skip when in parking lots or turning slow. I want to replace my locker with a trac-loc unit or a newer locker but just haven’t done it yet because it’s not high on the...

    1969 Mach1 Rim Blow Steering Wheel

    69 mach 1 390

    First, let me say I love my 390 Mach 1. I went looking for one because they’re considered rare. I think there were only something like 10,000 390 equipped Mustangs built in 69 and not all of them were Mach 1’s. You can find parts all over the place depending on what you want. EBay is a...

    drum brake bar spring?

    It was originally used as a "helper" spring. I've been running for years without it like most that have drums. You'll be fine without it. As stated above, no one makes them that I can find.

    OH me OH my!

    The trick to using one is to drill the hole in the bolt as big as you can. I have broken off easy-outs in what was left of bolts before because I used too small an easy-out. I have yet to find a way to get the bolt out once an easy-out is broken off inside of it. I could not drill out the...
