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?
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
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!
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.
