Muscle Car Of The Week Video #9: 1969 Mustang Mach 1 Factory Sunroof
This week on Muscle Car of the Week, we celebrate a stunningly restored 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 in the captivating Gulfstream Aqua paint!
Beyond its breathtaking looks, this Mach 1 boasts unique features and historical significance, making it a true collector's dream.
Here's what sets this Gulfstream Aqua Mach 1 apart:
Rare Gulfstream Aqua paint, a standout color compared to the more common reds, blacks, and yellows
One of only two known 1969 Mustangs with a factory-installed sunroof (possibly a Cougar sunroof by ASC)
Powerful 390 cubic inch V8 engine delivering 320 horsepower and 427 lb-ft of torque
Engaging 4-speed manual transmission for a thrilling driving experience
Desirable features like a tilt and swing-away steering wheel and fold-down rear seat
Explore the details of this remarkable Mach 1:
Mach 1 package highlights: reflective stripes, dual side mirrors, hood blackout with pins, non-functional hood scoop (functional on shaker models)
Original options: pop-open gas cap, ultra-rare sunroof (considered original equipment due to pre-delivery installation)
Interior: red accents on seats and carpet, simulated teakwood trim, passenger-side clock, three-spoke steering wheel
Enhanced comfort: over 40 lbs of additional sound deadening for a quieter ride
This Mach 1 is more than just a muscle car; it's a testament to Ford's design innovation:
Showcases the evolution of the Mustang into a more comfortable and refined muscle car
Highlights the enduring popularity of the Mach 1 package with its distinctive looks and performance
This beautiful 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 looks great thanks to its pristine restoration and soothing Gulfstream Aqua color, and the S-Code 390 / 4-speed Toploader combo makes it a blast to drive. However, one of the most unique features of this Mach 1 is the factory installed steel sunroof... an option that was not offered on the '69 Mustang. It is one of 2 built with the opening roof, and it's another excellent example of the diversity of outstanding Muscle Cars in the Brothers Collection. Watch the video to learn more about this stunning Mustang!

i think all those different aspects of that steering wheel are cool as heck. That swing away wheel thing is great for us bigger guys.
Gulfstream aqua blue on the 1969 Fastback was the colour I was trying to find for years !! Thanks 😊
I cry for all the 60's and early 70 mustangs i owned then sold. Even had a 64 1/2 Cobra with a 289 hp engine, sweet. Now i cry.
Beauty. Wish modern cars were still manufactured so beautifully with chrome and such style.
Mustang styling is timeless
Told me everything I needed to know about the classic Mach1.
This Mach Looks absolutely Incredible in Gulfstream Aqua...Mostly see Shelby's in this color , Few Mach's .. VERY Nice Restoration. One of the Best Ive Ever Seen....Even the Clock was working. My Hat's off...
My favorite Mustang of all time; just needs the 428 SCJ and shaker hood. Beautiful color, and amazing restoration.
What a car, best looking mustang ever !
my favorite color from the era in Mustangs. Gulfstream Aqua. Matches my '93 Cobra in Teal.
You have a great channel, man! I have such a young kid appreciation for muscle cars and i don't know a lot about the technical stuff yet. Your videos are teaching me. Thanks for this!
Beautiful colour.
the hide-away back seats are a pretty cool feature.
best Mach 1 imo,better than any that followed.
Actually At 1 Point Thought I Was Watching The 69, 428 SCJ Stang !!!! Stay Strong....Peace
You are the best RUclips channel ever!!!
How have I never heard of a Mach One with the 390 in it? I swear my entire life they've always been 351's or 428's
I think the pop open gas cap was standard on the Mach I. The sports roof (fastback) model would have had the standard gas cap. You may want to check this out so that your video is 100% correct. I always enjoy the vids.
Great narration Kevin. Mopar guy likes this car. Chrome accents really pop on tail panel. Nice job.
Must admit not a Big Ford Guy, But always liked 2nd Gen. Mach I's and Boss Hoss cars.
Awesome car!
A friends Jaguar was fitted from new with a sunroof, not done at the factory, believed to be a BMW part. Amazing how these reworks are still done.
Gorgeous horse. :)
The paint on this car had a slightly less than factory style orange peel, but they had a plastic paint protection film on the sunroof to keep it from getting scratched during operation. Because of this, the sunroof does not look as nice as the rest of the car. Check out the still photos at muscle car of the week .com and you can see how nice the paint is.
they didn't research 69 Mustangs very well. The shaker scoop was available will all V-8's 2V and 4V. Only 6's and 302 V-8's could not be ordered with the shaker scoop. And as we all know Mach 1's only came with 351 or larger engines. So shakers were available in all Mach 1's. The car featured here would look much better with gold stripes.
I don't think it really does much, except help cool the engine compartment. You can't really increase the air pressure in the air cleaner, as it's not air tight. You need positive pressure, as made by a supercharger, to increase the power.
매력쩔어
고맙습니다!
Cool...
They rated the 390 at 320 horsepower it probably made more like 370-380 HP.
QUE BELLEZA
I did not realize that a sunroof was even offered from the factory.
Exactly like mine but 351w 4v M-code, and no sunroof :(. Great video. Isn’t it called Acapulco Blue...mine is.
Do you know that there were 7 different blue colors for a Mach 1 in 1969? Acapulco/Hulla blue, dresden blue, aztec aqua, gulfstream aqua, winter blue, brittany blue and presidential blue. Freaky isn't it?
Thank god I'm not rich I'd own too many cars to drive them all
Said no one ever 😂
Nice stuff !!
gizzo123us ho
Does the Brothers Collection have a Raven Black 69? Could you do a video on that car please? Thanks in advance!
Pete :")
dream car ..deih y hina maizen e hahaha lol
I didn't know the 69 Mach 1 came with magnum 500 rims. Thought that was a 70 option?
The paint is nice but Nathan didn't do it. There's way too much orange peel left for him to have been happy with it. Other that that, nice trip down memory fast-lane.
Did I see that right a 7000rpm red line on car that peaked somewhere in the 5000rpm range?
I prefer the Boss 429.
How much would it cost?
Bought mine new in 1969. Stolen in 6 months. I did not want it repaired after recovery. What was wrong with it? Snow jammed up the shift linkage, but fortunately I was by a gas station and one block from a job interview. I made it on time and got the job. Second Ford this happened to that I owned new.
More serious was the 351 was too heavy and I needed 3 front end alignments in 6 months. Found out in 2010 from a relative who raced Mustangs there was a fix to reinforce the front.
Snow traction poorest of any car I ever had even with the limited slip differential. Could not get up a 3% grade with so little snow I could still pavement under it.
That was my second and last Ford- found on road dead or fix or repair daily, I forget which. It was nice when it ran and would make a nice collector, but not a daily driver .
What's that weird music in the background
I prefer gm and mopar 😂
Mustang, feh, who cares?
