1969coupe front clip on 1969 mach 1?

tana hoyt · Aug 27, 2009

my husband has a 69 mach 1 r-code. it is missing the front end no fenders no grill no bumper no windshield wippers ect... can you use the front end of a 1969 coupe to replace the stuff taken off and lost to drag racing. the coupe has a 351 and the mach 1 has a 428 cj. any help would be great. he got the car from his decesed brother and would like to get it fixed up. thanks

I don't think there is a difference in the body pannels on the front 1/2 of the car between coupes and fast backs. I know the rear pieces are different. The hood might be different if he has the shaker option or a scoop.

No difference from the windshield forward.

FYI, No difference forward of the windshield, the windshield itself IS different. Just wanted to clarify.

Well, just to clarify your clarification the windshield in 69-70 is the same for Hardtops, Fastbacks and Convertibles. Only the glue on mirror brackets are different AFAIK. But the question was about the front clip anyway so ...

NO! The 69-70 fastback uses a unique windshield! The coupe and convertible were the same, but the roof was 1" lower in the fastback, and the coupe/convertible will NOT fit the fastback.

This was also true for 71-73.

ALL 69/70 fastback glass is unique to the fastback body because the roof geometry is different including "A" pillar angle. Just wanted to make sure the OP was aware of it.

Hmmm, well I stand corrected! Just wondering why some vendors don't list different P/N's for them? NPD, Mustangs Plus & more. What gives?

You should deal with a parts supplier who has a shop, restoring Mustangs for over 30 years, like Glazier Nolan. They can answer such questions.
