Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / November 200469 mustang fastback
I have found a 69 mustang fastback, it is in pieces since the guy took it apart and realized it was in need of alot of work he didn't have time for, it has the original 289 in it, all the parts are there, but the windows were left down and there is water damage, he wants $1200 for it does anyone think it is worth that, or should I pay less? Any help would be appreciated! > I have found a 69 mustang fastback, it is in pieces since the guy took it > apart and realized it was in need of alot of work he didn't have time for, [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Any help would be appreciated! 69 mustang didn't come with a 289. You sure it's not a 302? Otherwise, any fastback that looks like it's restorable without major surgey is worth $1200. Sounds like a good deal The big question is .... how much are you willing to put into bringing it back? The guy who has it now was probably faced with the same thing, and the project turned out to be far bigger than he initially expected. So it ended up as a basket case. If you are not looking to put in the time, effort, and expense, I'd pass, and keep looking. It may take longer to find a good one that's ready to go, but it could take forever to restore one. >I have found a 69 mustang fastback, it is in pieces since the guy took it >apart and realized it was in need of alot of work he didn't have time for, [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >Any help would be appreciated! Hey! Spikey Likes IT! 1965 Ford Mustang fastback 2+2 A Code 289 C4 Trac-Lok Vintage Burgundy w/Black Standard Interior Vintage 40 Wheels 16X8" w/BF Goodrich Comp T/A Radial 225/50ZR16 The 289 CID engine was not available in the 1969 model year. Check the VIN for the engine code. The 1969 Mustang model year offered 9 different engine options - the most of any model year. The available 8-cylinder engines in 1969 are as follows: 302 2V - F code Boss 302 - G code 351W 2V - H code 351W 4V - M code 428CJ - Q code 428CJ Ram Air - R code 390 - S code Boss 429 - Z code Yet another $.02 worth from a proud owner of a 1970 Mach 1 351C (M code) @ http://community.webshots.com/album/18644819fHAehGJAjt >I have found a 69 mustang fastback, it is in pieces since the guy took it > apart and realized it was in need of alot of work he didn't have time for, [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Any help would be appreciated! > I have found a 69 mustang fastback, it is in pieces since the guy took it > apart and realized it was in need of alot of work he didn't have time for, [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Any help would be appreciated! Might be. How much work does it actually need? The big question is how much rust does it have.  Signature.boB '01 Dakota Quad Cab, 5.9/Auto/4x4 '97 H-D FXDWG - Turbocharged! '84 GMC Jimmy - Mountain Beater '65 427SC Cobra FFR Replica - Project '66 Mustang Coup - Daily Driver To me the question would be: Can you do most or all of the body/paint work yourself? If yes, and you have the time, go for it. If you have to hire this type of stuff out, it is almost always more expensive than buying a finished or nearly finished car.

It either doesn't have a 289 or it's not original or it's not a '69. Are you nuts? If you don't want it I will buy it for that price. They don't make fastbacks or convertibles so you should go for it. The only way I would not is if the thing was covered in rust... > I have found a 69 mustang fastback, it is in pieces since the guy took it > apart and realized it was in need of alot of work he didn't have time for, [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Any help would be appreciated! the car itself has no rust its originally from arizona the title says its a 69 mustang fastback motor is a 289, the only bad part on the body is the rear fender, looks like somebody hit it lightly no internal body damage, the floor needs to be redone due to water damage, all original parts are in a huge box, the only bad part was a cracked taillight, the windows don't roll up, but other than that pretty easy fix just need parts to update suspension and brakes, the motor runs, it has about 55,000 miles on it so I think I will end up buying it anyways, and if I get it all ripped apart since I will be doing a frame off restoration and feel that its too much work I will let you all know Thank you for the input! let you know if I come across a problem! > Are you nuts?

Why a 429? If you're gonna go through the trouble of making a 385 series engine fit why not do a 460? They are cheap and plentiful. Don't underestimate the 289 though. 289s love to rev. A stock bottom end can take 7000 RPM. Build it for RPM, back it with a toploader, and put some 4.11s in the rear and you've got one sick 'stang!

How do you intend to use the car? A friend vintage races his Shelby GT350. His 289 puts out 425 ponies. It is NO fun to drive in traffic tho. 300 to 325 horses will be very streetable. I am talking crank hp above. Here is a link to some dyno results. http://www.catmbr.org/Dyno5D04.html http://www.catmbr.org/Dyno2001.html Erich > How much horsepower do you think I can get out of that 289 motor? > [quoted text clipped - 69 lines] > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Any help would be appreciated! I want about 300 to 400 horsepower out of it if possible, with a supercharger, something I can use on the street and something I can use at the local 1/4 mile strip. > How do you intend to use the car? > [quoted text clipped - 88 lines] > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Any help would be appreciated! |
