Hello all I just thought I would say hi and tell a little about myself. I live in Wisconsin and own a 1969 R code that I'm in the process of restoring and I thought this looked like a good place to get lots of good info.

Welcome! A big block 69 Mach 1, nice! I've always loved big block motors. A 4sp would be an added bonus. My 69 Mach 1 is an M code, 351W 4bbl. But at least it has the close ratio 4sp.
There are a lot of great people here and it seems most everybody here appreciates Mach 1's for what they originally were. We all like to offer assistance. I'm sure you'll pick up some helpful bits of information and help some others too.
We all like a few pictures. It took me a bit of time to figure out the upload process. After that, it's fairly straight forward.
Best Regards,
Mike

Welcome to the site...69 R code is definitely one of, if not, my favorite car! How much work do you have in front of you on the restoration? There are lots of knowledgeable people here you can chime in on advice and direction. Please share some pictures.

Nice car! I see a lot of people on this site with big block Mach 1's but don't see big block Mach 1's here in Northern California unless it was a motor swap. I'm sure yours is an original big block car. But, I wonder from time to time if its like the early 70's Dodge Challenger RT in that there seems to be more now than were originally built?
Best Regards,
Mike

Welcome.
Great car! Not everyone gets to own a 69 Mach 1, let alone an R code - and a 4 speed!
Jump on in and enjoy the site. We are grateful for the opportunity to help in any way that we are able.
I am looking forward to the pictures and more of the history and future plans.
