Beauty, the wheels really make a huge a difference it is amazing! Are you in NY now?

[Guest redlordamazon]

My friend installed a NOS shelby console back in the 80's. The console and wheels are the only non original parts on the car.

I would love to drive that car on the Long Island parkways along Jones beach... Traveling east from there was always a nice drive. I have family from Levittown so I visit every few years.

My car is a San Jose car as well build date is Jan 22, 1969 power disc brakes, tinted glass, fold down rear seat, 3:25 rear. Sold at Jim Snow Ford Paramount Ca. I am the third owner my friend had the car from 1978 to 2013. He purchased it from the original owners.

Very nice & unique car and story !!

 

Noticed the "blank" trunk lid stripe (no "mach 1" cut out), which is always an indicator to an early production "original paint" car. Don't know exactly when Ford switched over to the later style stripe but I would have guessed it would have been before Jan 22 ... interesting !!

Thanks. The end caps are fiberglass also a sign of a early car from what I am told.

I will check my original trunk tomorrow, but I believe my original trunk has same stripe without mach. Its a first week feb 1969 built at San Jose plant could it be they had leftovers?

Mine are metal. What is the bottom paint on your car? Mine is very dark gray almost black. San Jose was known to have different underside paint color. Do you have more pictures of car, engine etc. Does your car have C9AF-K distributor?

Bottom of car is the dark gray almost black I have not really analyzed it all that good. The engine bay needs some TLC as looks like a unrestored engine bay painted valve covers not chrome. The car still has it tag on it. I have not looked at the number on the distributor and I had it out to prime the oil pump when I started the car after it sat all those years. I will take a look to see. It is missing the original air cleaner. My friend said he might have it somewhere. He has a garage full of parts used, NOS etc. mostly big block engine items.

Nice car... welcome to the family.

Hate to ask but what does one like this sale for ?

[SM69Mach 68]

Nice car and great story. Guess I am partial to the S codes too!

[stangnet33 88]

Looks like a fantastic car ! Nice that you started a thread for it. I see that you removed the rear window louver, going to leave it off ?

[Pakrat 1,043]

Welcome. If the car is as clean in person as it looks in pictures I sure hope you can keep as much of that original stuff in tact as possible. Anyone can restore a car but I'd take original paint and interior etc. with minor flaws over a perfect restoration any day.

 

If you do need to restore things I hope you can photograph and document as much of it as possible and start an album here for everyone's future reference.
