Is it possible to buy an original 390 4-spd a/c radiator or do I need a recore to stay original? Ihave a 1969 Mach 1. Thanks,Randy
Welcome Randy.

I do not know the exact answer to your question but someone with that experience should be along shortly. Anyway, glad to have you sign in with us.
Welcome to the site! Not sure about your radiator, but someone here should be along with an answer. Don't forget to post some pics of your 69 Mach.
Randy if no one chimes in you may want to give Don Witt a buzz at Ohio Mustang. http://www.ohiomustang.com He is very knowledgeable on all things Mustangs.
Well it depends what you are trying to do, if this is a concourse restore then you should talk to an MCA judge. I'm not sure if anyone here is a Judge, maybe vamach?
If this is just a high quality driver then do whatever it takes to keep it going fast!

Good question and welcome to the club! SSig_welcome5

I'm going to move this topic to Mustang Mach 1 Talk & Troubleshooting but it will also remain here for 2 days. Get yourself familiar with the message boards here and please enjoy your time here!
Year One sells such radiators. Looks like a new radiator for your car runs $500. Ouch!

National Parts Depot has one for $300:

Since your car is a four speed, I don't know if you can get a radiator without the Trans cooling fittings. You could give them a call and ask.
Thanks for the information. I want to stay original. My best option will probably be a recore.
