Steve M. No better person to describe a car. The new owner will have a video of Steve M. Describing their new car. What an amazing shop to buy a car from HighOctane classics.

[@mikemichaud5048]

Thank you Steve!👍

[@madmike2624]

Super sweet, beautiful automobile Keep on that healing train Steve!!!!

[@Jeff-rh8mq]

The GOAT never disappoints! Steve, you are the best at combining brilliant facts with the best content. Your knowledge is outstanding! It's great to see you getting better and better every day!

[@YS-fr6nu]

Great video, Steve, but you forgot to mention the ultra rare drag pack option on the 428 super cobra jet

[@larryharry7221]

There is no replacement for displacement. Thanks Steve.

[@minnesotatomcat]

Sure there is, they’re called turbos and superchargers. There’s 4 cylinder Hondas driving around these days that would put all these muscle cars to shame on a drag strip. Old v8s just sound better 👍

[@YS-fr6nu]

Drag pac is the best

[@jerrywagner4690]

That car is perfect, and I want it 😍!

[@mikeadie7031]

That's a high octane vehicle. Thanks Steve, you look and sound great.

[@mikehotchkiss8975]

Not many don't lust after this car. Well presented Steve

[@LS1007]

Beautiful restoration! Looks better than new. Thanks Steve. Have a great weekend! 🙏🏼

[@charlesdalton985]

Two days in a row when the cars make you think it's 1969. What an absolute mint condition example. Congratulations to the new owner! Thank you for the great walk through High Octane Classics, Super Shane, and Mr Magnante ~ Chuck

Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍 : Professor Steve 🍎📓📝📐🎓 good afternoon ; a buddy of my had one , sad to say the dummy took out a city light lamp ! Nice to see that one is still around ! Video very informative & interesting thanks for all your work ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍 ( My buddy he was ok after 8 months in the hospital ) !

[@Truth2240]

Love listening to your knowledge and presentations Steve. So glad you are still with us.

[@googleusergp]

Correct, 1969 model year, with VIN for the win: 9 for 1969 model year, T for Metuchen, NJ assembly, 02 for Mustang fastback, R for 428 CID V8 with four-barrel, ram air induction, Cobra Jet, aka "Never Since Mr. Ed Has a Horse Spoken This Clearly", and the rest is the production sequence. The Metuchen NJ plant was also called Edison Assembly and closed in 2004. What many may or may not know is that Ford used the Q-Jet on some 429 CID V8 (although this is a 428 CID V8) engines, proving how good of a carburetor it really is. All Big 3 car companies (and others) used it. We got the tag, we can brag: 63C for Mustang Mach 1 Fastback, B(5) for Maroon exterior paint, 3A for Black interior trim, 06C for Thursday March 6, 1969 production, 22 for Charlotte, NC sales district, W for 4.30:1 rear axle ratio, locking, and 6 for four speed manual transmission, close ratio, with 2.32 first gear. Yup, when you have the Marti (report), you can have a party. The Marti Report is the gold standard of Ford certification just like the Pontiac Historical Services report from Pontiac. All Ford vehicles should have it to show provenance. English Motor Company is possibly Crescent Ford at that same location as shown on the Marti Report.

Beautiful car! clarification - sport slats and spoilers were not optional for the Mach I in 1969, only the Boss 302. Customer could order them over the counter and have the dealer install them as many people did. Super Track Pack is more of a MOPAR term, I think Steve meant Drag Pack. Love those old magazines!

[@sombra6153]

Thanks Steve! Excellent video featuring an exceptional car built for business! Lately I’ve watched a number of AI-generated videos that call just about everything from the 60s and 70s a muscle car. I’ve tried to be pretty consistent with my comments regarding the proper definition of a muscle car vs pony car vs full sized car vs grocery getting station wagon with a boat towing big block. That definition from reading articles in practically every car mag in the 80s and early 90s that included authors such as “Steve Mags.” But I appreciate how you point out that a car such as the featured street warrior survivor could “potentially” be a muscle car. I’d rather listen you than engage in pointless debates with AI. Anyway, I wish you a Happy Thanks Giving and continued recovery.

[@acemacgruber6593]

The last few muscle cars you’ve done videos on have been some of the very best.

[@markw208]

Beautiful car and restoration. I’m so glad they kept the hood flat black. Great job describing the car Steve. Great to see your progress

[@JP-dw1fp]

As usual, great walk around. And, I wish you a full recovery.

[@davebickler4643]

Loved the presentation of this car, probably because i own one that is exactly like it except for the color and have for 55 years. Yep an original owner here. Plan on having it driven right behind the hearse on the way to the cemetery.

[@tompastian3447]

Am I right, that no Mustangs came stock with a wood grain three spoke drilled steel steering wheel? Wasn't the stock steering wheel all paded vinyl? I believe there was a three spoke wheel steering wheel, but it did not have the drilled holes in the spokes?

[@tonyelliott7734]

The "tomahawk" you described is known as the "hatchet" in the FoMoCo world. But everything else is spot on. I had a 1969 Mach I SCJ and wish I had never got rid of it...😭

[@richardkafka5625]

A friend of my father had one of these. I've wanted one ever since. Sadly they have become so expensive that I probably won't ever have it. They BEST Mustang ever in my opinion! Thank you Steve for this walk around.

[@ronaldlebowitz7409]

In 1969 my dad bought a car from a ford dealer and the salesman picked us up in a brand new mach 1 I had to ride in the back but wish this ride in this awesome car would never end for this 11 yr. old boy then we had to ride home in a 68 4 dr. galaixe he bought darn it I wanted that mustang dad!!

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

Steve! This is one of the few Mustang body styles that I like

[@MAPRTX]

THANKS STEVE

[@LICobra]

Steve thanks for the walk around, the 69 Mach 1 SCJ shaker 4 speed drag pack is my favorite Mustang.

[@TNAarchives]

Thank you Steve! Awesome car!

[@JasonSimonSmith]

Wow - that interior is .. just MAGICAL !

[@wesalexander2693]

Another great, fact filled review, Steve, excellent job as always! What a gorgeous Mustang!

[@Ron_Lockwood]

[@TheKalanTeam]

[@ricksaint2000]

Thank you Steve

[@danscott3880]

Steve is the Man !!!

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

High Octane should let you post these videos on your channel.

[@brentnearhood8874]

Thanks! Steve 🚗

[@commandertopgun]

Stunning Mustang Steve, but, it's sold already wow.-lolAwesome.

[@mikecanam9477]

Car is Stunning!

[@scottmalone2332]

They have beautiful cars.

[@JimsPub-ds3qs]

Thank you.👌

[@billfioretti3013]

Nice, Steve! The new owner needs to add power steering to really enjoy it. These nose- heavy cars are a bear to turn without it.

[@The.Real.Timmii]

I had a green one just like this in the 1970's

[@morganleblanc730]

I have a 69 Mach 1 SCode that I purchased in 2019 from the original owner who was a female and in 1968 she ordered it with a four speed and non power steering. AM/FM, fold down rear seat and tach with power disc brakes black jade. The dealer was her local dealer which was Hayward Ford in Hayward CA.

[@gregoryplummer-l9l]

My mustang those side scoops were functional ducts with hoses down to the brakes

[@randysigler1197]

👍very nice!

[@backachershomestead]

Interesting fact! 69 sports roof/ fastback could be ordered with a white or black vinyl top. My dad has one. It is on the original build sheet.

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

I hope the new owner, buys a HQ fuel regulator.

[@leomurphy9205]

Hey Steve- you're a class act! I live in MA. How can I get in touch with you to get input on purchasing a muscle cars. I respect your opinion & advice, and would like to connect to purchase a car. How can I contact you? Leo

[@Willie-y1q]

i had a blue one in 74 .. gave 250 $ for it with a slightly bent fender and bumper ..i worked at a junkyard .. it came in wrecked ..

[@2H2521]

Very refreshing to see a Mach 1 without a spoiler & louvers, I much prefer these without them.

[@ickemay]

69 Mach 1's didn't come with them - which a lot of people don't realize so this car is correct.

[@saxonstangsetc3201]

Apparently sold

[@treeandaturd]

i’m a little light, how good is credit in this joint?

[@aldo6192]

You needed at least a 351 Windsor to order a shaker, according to the brochure.

[@geotec67]

It's already sold. No price shown.

[@scottmalpass4802]

😎💪🏁

[@douglashine9638]

The low HP rating was to keep insurance premiums low…

[@minnesotatomcat]

Love a “factory restoration” but I think I’d have did the smog pump delete if it were my car.

[@72442conv]

Already sold, LOL.

[@davidkoon767]

FORD WAS THE WORSE ON JUST 2 BARREL ENGINES

[@CaptainJerry-]

69 way better than 71

[@ldnwholesale8552]

A truck engine in a medium sized car. They steer like a supermarket trolley. I have driven a 68 390 [and the tall deck 428 is even heavier] a few times and it simply does NOT handle. Even a Cleveland is too heavy for those cars. My favourite looking Mustang but I would never want a big block. A friend has a 7 litre [4 speed] 66 Galaxie 428 and that is better as the car is big enough to carry the lump. Still a very heavy engine though. I have driven a 302 66 Galaxie and it pointed better but the engine struggled dragging around the weight. Those Badday tyres are useless. No grip and square shoulder make those cars drive like crap. Put some decent radials on it which notwithstanding all the weight will transform the car. 4 30 gears??With a truck engine? Makes no sense at all. Even for drag racing the power of those things stock would be faster with 3.25 or 3 50 [3.55]on the drag strip. Normal use 3.00 or taller would have it more economical and far quieter.

[@jamesbaddeley2610]

How much for this thing of beauty.
