unfrozen1969 11 Report post Posted October 19, 2008 I was watching Barrett-Jackson last night, and they had a 69 MACH 1 with a huge crate engine in it, and it was almost all black. the valve covers looked like they were brushed metal, and the block was a gloss black. The whole car ewas painted black which added to the effect. I thought that it looked nice. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unfrozen1969 11 Report post Posted October 27, 2008 Don't worry about the photoshop of the engine, I found a nice one online. I tried to attach it but had no luck. If anyone else can find some, then I welcome them being posted here. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

unfrozen1969 11 Report post Posted November 12, 2008 Does anyone know what the most rare 69 convertible was that was produced? Was it a GT car, or was it a particular color of car? I have heard that some of the rarer mustangs are the cars with the fewest options, go figure....hmmm Bill from Ottawa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bnickel 10,004 Report post Posted November 12, 2008 probably a 428/4 speed car and likely a GT at that. i would imagine there were probaly only one or two 428/4 speed GT verts made in 69. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

unfrozen1969 11 Report post Posted November 18, 2008 Baby steps brother, I have other gas caps that will do the job until the time comes to complete my ride. I am waiting for my Marti report to see how rare a 6 cylinder meadowlark yellow 69 convertible is. If the numbers are low, there maybe value in putting it back to original for the sake of the breed. I can always build my muscle car ride some other time. Any luck selling your coupe yet Bryan? Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill meadowlark yellow was a pretty common color in 69 so i doubt that a meadowlark yellow six-slapper vert is going to be especially rare. if it was one of the few 69 250 six cylinder cars that came with disc brakes, power steering and AC, now that one would be pretty rare. off hand i'd say your deluxe interior coupe is rarer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay H 237 12 Report post Posted November 21, 2008 According to Marti there were 1,247 Meadowlark Yellow converts in 69 total. I don't know how many were 6 cyl cars.

It was a nice surprize to read that. Bill yep that was mine, thanks for the compliments. Jerry Heasley usually shows up at the local mustang shows since he only live a couple hours away from here. i didn't want to make a big deal of it since the 2 pics of my car were so small. the other one was on the opening page of that article, it's the engine shot at the bottom of that first page. had i known it was going to be in mustang and ford trader i would have run a for sale ad in that issue. all he told me was that it would be in an event coverage article in the next couple of months, the show was in august Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unfrozen1969 11 Report post Posted December 12, 2008 Okay, I was speaking with another Mustang guy in my area, and he told me that since my 69 convertible was a 6 cylinder, it should be a 4 bolt lug pattern rather than a 5. I know for a fact that I have a five bolt. He felt that my five bolr was added on later. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know for a fact that I have a five bolt. He felt that my five bolr was added on later. Bill Bill, that's not necessarily true. starting in 69 ford used 2 six cylinder engines in the mustang, the 200ci and the 250ci, the 200ci used the 4 lug axles and brakes along with the puny salisbury rearend while the 250ci motor used the same 5 lug axles and brakes and the 8" rearend as the V8 cars. as a matter of fact you could even get power disc brakes with the 250ci six popper. it's actually not totally unheard of to find 250ci six cylinder equipped mustangs with power steering, power disc brakes, AC and automatic transmissions. with gas prices the way they've been lately, a 69 stang equipped like this would make a great daily driver. with all the aftermarket goodies now available for the in-line six bangers you can even have one with an aluminum head and EFI, automatic overdrive or 5 speed transmission, big 4 wheel disc brakes and improved suspension systems that will do everything a new 6 cylinder mustang will do, possibly even better and way cooler, not to mention cheaper too.

unfrozen1969 11 Report post Posted December 17, 2008 What is the difference in the spring tension between the 6 and 8 cylinder. If I put an 8 cyclinder in my car that has 6 cylinder springs, will the springs hold the weight. I often hear of guys who lower their cars but cutting the springs, wouldn't having 6 cylinder springs with a great load achieve similar results. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

unfrozen1969 11 Report post Posted December 30, 2008 I can not tell if this car is white or not. I am thinking of keeping my car its original color of Meadowlark Yellow, but sport it up a bit similar to this car. I hope everyone's holidays were festive.
