VIN DETAILS

Body: Mustang

Dual headlamps were introduced in 1969 with the extra pair set into the outer area of the grille. The corralled grille pony was replaced with the pony and tribars logo set off-center to the drivers side. The wheelbase remained 108 inches but the overall length increased by almost 4 inches and the width increased by almost half an inch. Coupes fastbacks and convertibles were still offered but new models joined the lineup: Mach 1 Boss and Grandé. All of these models took their toll on GT sales; they were continued in 1970 but the GT was not.

Only about 50 Mustang Es were produced. They were economy cars with a 250ci six cylinder engine automatic transmission with a special torque converter and a low 2.33:1 rear axle ratio. They were all sportsroofs and had Mustang 'E' lettering on the rear quarters.

The 351cid V-8 was introduced in 1969 and was available with 250 or 290 hp. For those wanting more power the 335-hp 428cid Cobra Jet V-8 big block was available with or without Ram-Air. More than 80 percent of Mustangs in 1969 had V-8 engines.

The Mach 1 was essentially a fastback GT with different stripes and a more upscale interior. A spoiler and rear window louvers were optional.

The Mach 1 included the GT's non-functional hood scoop. A functional "Shaker" scoop was available. It was mounted on top of a special air cleaner and protruded though the hood. A vacuum-operated door opened when the throttle was floored allowing cool air into the carburetor. The scoop was standard on the 428 Cobra Jet Ram-Air V-8 and optional for Mach 1 or GT with 351 or 390 engines. The stripe package was reflective. A flat black rear spoiler was not an option early but became available late in the model year.

Engine: 8 Cyl. 428 CID

The 428 Cobra Jet launched in April 1968 was a version of the 428 FE engine built for performance rather than cruising smoothness. Not a true racing engine but it was sufficient for street use or amateur drag racing. The 428 Cobra Jet could be made on a regular production line not requiring the exacting tolerances required by the 427. The 428 Cobra Jet has greater low-end torque than the 427 thanks to its longer stroke.

The Cobra Jet used a beefed-up version of the 428 block with an extra main bearing webbing and thicker main caps than the standard block. The engine was underrated at 335 hp (250 kW) at 5200 rpm. The 428 Cobra Jet actually produced 400 to 410 hp (299-306 kW).
