I never really had a love for any particular car model or brand . I was still in. School in 68 driving an old beat up Ford Fairlane . That car served me well and I never really salavated over any car before but when the 69 Mustangs came out ( especially the Mach 1 ) I fell I love with them.
The summer I graduated 68 from school , all I could think about was getting a full time job and buying a 69 Mach 1 .
I couldn't stand it , I wanted one bad . So. I talked my dad into consigning for a new car. I went to the Ford dealer got the cost , talked to my dad , went over what I could afford . But no dice it was $600 more than what I could afford to finance
It took me 33 yrs after that to get a Mach 1 . And it sure cost me more than that $600 back in 68..
But my kids were all raised and gone and my business was doing well. So it made it much easier this time around.
My Opinion ? The 69 Mach 1 was the pinical for the Ford Mustang
