I completely agree with you that 1969 Mustang is the best design ever!!! That’s why I love mine.

[@ericbryant5069]

Rey... I feel that 1969 AND 1970 are BOTH THE BEST BODY DESIGN for Mustangs

[@kabeerx504]

they are the best 👌😎

[@willybones3890]

67 - 70 the prettiest mastangs they made.

[@noneed4me2n7]

Lost my dad in January and now I’m putting together the 69 fastback he got as a project (running no accidents, one owner, almost no rust, and it’s been garaged 13 years after we took it apart for body work. I’ve added more parts and once it’s done all the electrical and mechanical parts will either be rebuilt original or new repro parts. Dad already got a complete Thrustmaster long tube headers exhaust kit, suspension kit, and I added an Edelbrock manifold and carb and plan to switch out the stock 3 speed manual for a C6 automatic. Should be in for paint and body reassemble next month, got the money need to find the right place. It’s all there now just time and patience. Only thing neither of us liked is the Gawd awful original yellow paint job. Not sure which color my dad was leaning towards but I’m going all black as the interior as far as the seats and door panels are still in good shape. The carpet and headliner I also have ready to go in. Adding in AC too, can’t drive it all sweaty now.

[@btrobok]

I falling in love with this car when I watched "Diamond are forever" movie, Driven thru Las Vegas streets by sir Sean Connery (RIP 007)

[@TheDutchTexan]

RIP sir Connery indeed, I always thought he was the best Bond. My favorite movie was "You Only Live Twice". The car in "Diamonds are Forever" is actually a 1971 Mach 1 by the way. Full disclosure: I also love that body style. The '69 Mach 1 is my all-time favorite though!

[@gregoryerikson5338]

@@TheDutchTexan Correct on the Diamonds Are Forever Mach1. Had a Bond Friend that contended that it was a 1969 Mach1. I own a Wimbledon White,351 Windsor as my first car and have owned it for 51 years! Cost me 1,850 bucks back in January 4,1971. This guy can't say Mock 1 it's not MACK 1. Too young to know the difference.

[@trbstang]

Very nice! A friend's 70 Mach 1 was the first Mustang I had ever driven, after growing up riding in my dad's 65 fastback. Such a fun car to drive. Now I have my former daily driver 87 5.0 LX and 16 GT current daily driver. I just really like how the new ones carry forward the lines of the 65-70 fastbacks, but I also need one of the classics too! Good luck on getting a classic yourself!

[@TheDutchTexan]

Thank you, I was honored to be able to drive it. It is a long time goal to get there and all things once started with a desire and a dream. I hope to realize that dream in the coming years.

[@Smacks41]

I had a '69 Mach 1, Royal Maroon. I agree, best looking Mustang ever. God, I wished I had that car back.

[@TheDutchTexan]

Just the perfect lines. Gorgeous from every angle! What engine / transmission combo did you have?

[@rangeroadmoto]

Wow that is beautiful!! Awesome video. I hope the one we are working on over on my channel turns out half this good.

[@terencesommer6307]

My best friends dad had a 1969 Mustang Mach 1 and he use to take us out for drives when we were little so many, many years ago.

[@johnnyrmac]

Beautiful car, love it. My first Stang was a 69 fastback, 302 manual in Jade green. The S197 is my next favorite body. Soon looking for a 69.😁

[@u2mister17]

Grew up with them. Had driven them. They had a different feel that I loved driving them. I believe they all had autos though. I did end up with a '67 HO Firebird 4 speed 4.11 that was just fun. I remember one time a guy told me my brake lights weren't working and I had to tell him I didn't use the brakes, compression baby.

[@TheDutchTexan]

I use engine braking all the time in any manual car. It sounds better! Hahaha!

[@tevetanders9729]

A beuthiful Ford Mustang! And it sounds amazing. I have a question, what exhaustsystem do you have? size, x- pipe or h- pipe. and what headers sit on the engine? I have a 1970 sportsroof on upgrade.

[@solidbreed9767]

I will literally bring this car inside of my house

[@1stTeamAllLeague20]

Awesome video ! I have a 69 Mach1. It’s the best looking car on the road when I’m out in it. I always get compliments when driving it. Definitely the best body on a classic mustang….1970 mustang comes in 2nd.

[@TheDutchTexan]

Thank you. I still feel lucky I was able to take it for a spin!

Ergonomic is the word you were looking for. You are correct, ‘69 & ‘70 Fastback Mustang.🤘🏼The 1969 Mach 1 Set So Many World Records It Was Ridiculous.

[@waynecook760]

I bought a Mach 1 in 1969-$2,400 351 Cleveland 4 speed brand new . Best car ever. I now have a 69 390 cu red/white interior-4 speed air car. A real “head turner” best in show car. Loving life!!

[@TheDutchTexan]

I had a glimpse of that when I drove this one. You can’t beat a great classic!

[@davebickler4643]

I too love 69 Mach 1s. In fact I love them so much I still have the one I bought new 51 years ago. 428 Super Cobra Jet, 4 speed 4.30 gear car. Drag raced in the 70s. High 11 second car with headers a cam and slicks. Restored 16 years ago to original condition. Now gas 33K miles on it. If your ever in Ohio swing by and you can take him for a ride.

[@TheDutchTexan]

I don’t know if I will ever make it to that state, but I would 100% take you up on that! Back then it probably was the fastest car on the block! (Heck, most cars don’t touch that today).

[@cfauvel]

it pulls nicely .... I have a Black Jade one...5 spd Tremec and 3.00:1 Rear....going to change that out to a 3.75:1 that should wake things up.

[@mikesawyer4707]

What can be sead about the ford mustang mach one. It is an american icon. My uncle purcashed a mach one in 1970, it was powered with a 302 automatic, shaker hood, dark metallic green with gold stripping, an automatic (to please my aunt). I personally loved that car and so did my causin johnny who by chance just got his driver's license's that summer. I remember, trips to lake michigan that summer as well. Great memorys.

[@TheDutchTexan]

Memories are the best thing about old cars. There is always a deep connection with cars like this one. The shaker hood is iconic as well!

[@clubba1264]

Mach 1s came with a 302?

[@TheDutchTexan]

@@clubba1264 1971's did. The '69 - '70's had base 351's 2v's, so perhaps he mistook the base V8 engine for the common base engine everyone thinks of when talking about that era, the 302.

[@mustangmarty8491]

Why were ur shoes off? Great video keep'em coming 🇺🇸

[@TheDutchTexan]

You are legit the first one to notice! The shoes I had on were interfering with the pedal setup, so I drove without them for convenience sake. It worked out great! I got skinnier shoes now that I use for driving. I should actually get some proper driving shoes now that I think about it... Anyway, thank you for enjoying! I hope to do many more classics down the line. It is where my true passion lies!

[@aaronallor5648]

You mention wanting to get into a classic... I have a 69 mach1 for sale. Project car, needs to be built but is alot cleaner than the one im keeping.. comes with a storage unit full of parts to damn near build the thing twice over.

[@TheDutchTexan]

Mustangs are unfortunately way out of my range due to the popularity they (rightfully) enjoy so I won’t waste your time.

[@waytonmok8500]

[@chaleowin7732]

I swapped a 351W into my 74 Bronco then I used Mustang parts from a 93 Mustang GT to fuel inject it. My mom drove a 68 fast back until she got pregnant with me, she had to sell it when she couldn't get behind the steering wheel. She blames me to this day haha. I would trade my boring BMW for this Mach1 any day.

[@TheDutchTexan]

Similar story to my wife. She had a Mustang GT/CS vert. She got pregnant and she was too close to the wheel. We traded it in for a fully loaded 2012 focus. That... Was a mistake...

Hi guys I'm John from down under...Australia. I have a mach 1 Acapulco blue with 5sp tremec and Hurst shifter it's is the best. But a question.. I have AC..but didn't see it on that motor? Ps I to agree the 69 is the best

[@TheDutchTexan]

It has a vintage air system if I am correct. It worked great!

[@tedjones1822]

I bought one same color and with 390 4 speed back in 1994 for 700 bucks need restoration bought some parts . But one day I decided to sale it like a dumass for 14000.00 dollars. I regretted every day. But I'm going to buy another one some day. The prices for one in good condition are up their.

[@TheDutchTexan]

At the time it made sense to sell it, don't feel bad man! I got a goal to get something classic myself as a channel project car. It won't be a Mustang probably, they are $$$ for sure! Parts on the other hand, are plentiful. Some of the other classics I have looked at are more rare, and parts are definitely harder to come by or simply don't exist.

[@robertstewart3086]

Dude you forgot to mention that this a 351 Cleveland ! ( Note the top radiator hose going into the block ,not the intake manifold ) which makes this Mach 1 WAY more cool ! That's why is sounds more deeper than the smaller valved 351 Windsor...

[@TheDutchTexan]

It’s a 363 stroker, the original engine is long gone! It was an automatic too when it was bought originally!

[@robertstewart3086]

@@TheDutchTexan Sorry my bad, just noticed the valve cover bolt locations aren't correct for a Cleveland . So your saying the car has a stroker 302 to a 363 cu in motor . The 351 Windsor was the smallest motor Ford offered for the Mach 1 in 69. She sounds sweet ! Love MY 69 Mach as well !

[@TBullCajunbreadmaker]

I will have to tell you that the 69 is OK. The finest Mustang Fastback was the original first year fastback. Find yourself a 65 Mustang 2+2 or GT and you will see Big Daddy where it all began. My favorite is the 68 GT fastback. Yep, the same car that is called the Bullitt Mustang, you know what I am talking about? And in the Highland Green or the Ocean Deep Blue. These cars don't have to have a stroker engine nor the 5 speed Tremek. The Borg Warner top loader 4 speed was cool enough for me.

[@TheDutchTexan]

I actually reviewed a 1965 fastback! It was an auto and no where near as quick as this one but still all smiles. And I know Bullitt, one of the best car chases in any movie. When it down comes to MOPARS the 1968 charger reigns supreme because of it. And sure, they don't need to have more power and drivability. But it sure as heck makes them more fun! I am glad we don't all like the same stuff. It would be boring if we did.

Just to think these Mustangs were daily drivers now they are classic show cars

[@TheDutchTexan]

They were what the new mustang is now. Just a new car. Only time will tell if a car becomes a classic show car down the line. This one? 100%!
