'69 Mach 1 ID.

Hi folks, I just bought what I was told is a '69 Mach 1. I haven't located a body buck tag for it yet and I think the door sticker has been painted over. Are ther any other definate ways identifying it as a MACH? It has the deluxe interior, cobra jet hood scoop with hood pins, fold down rear seat, pop open gas cap, M code for 351 4V in the vin. FMX automatic transmission, 9" rear end, missing louvers but the mounting holes in the roof are there, power steering, power disk brakes, had A/C once. I know all of these could have been added by the dealer or someone else at one time so I need better proof. TIA.

Loading thread data ...

If you can get the paint off the door tag...and it has the same VIN...and it lists "63C" as the body code then it's a Mach 1.

If there is no data tag (or a wrong one) these people can get you the original paperwork on your car: (I think from just the VIN)

Click on the "Production History Reports" link on the top for more info. You can also get a new data tag/sticker.

Here's a pic of a Marti repport for a '69 Mach1:

You can get similar info from Ford for free...it'll probably take longer...and it's more likely to have errors. It's known as CAC report, or a History 999 report Ford Motor Company (800) 392-3673 or (313) 322-3000

Happy motoring! DP Pics of the cars:

Does it have a "R" in the vin #? If so it's a Mach 1. :)

Scratch that...I missed your 351 engine in the car. Sorry.

Oh, I forgot to mention it has what looks like the original black carpet with red inserts.

Only came in the Mach I; all others with Deluxe Interior were black/black.

Sweet, maybe I'll find the build sheet under the carpet if it isn't too moldy. The floors have some surface rust that need attention from leaks.

That's very nice indeed. My "dream car" when I was a kid was either a 69 Mach 1 or a 69 Cougar Eliminator. Didn't get either. :(

Oh, One more thing. It has a clock and a badge on the dash insert that says MACH1
