1969 FORD Mustang


Overview

In the third year of the Chevy Camaro , the Ford Mustang was already on its third restyling. The 1969 Ford Mustang had its length increased by almost 4 inches, and the side scoop was replaced with a feature line. The 69 Mustang's windshield was steeper, and the fastback's (now officially known as the "SportsRoof") roof line was lowered by 9 inches.

The 1969 Shelby GT-350 now came standard with a 351-ci, 290-horsepower Windsor V8. The GT-500 retained the same 428-ci Cobra Jet V8. Fewer 1969 Shelby's were available than originally anticipated, as government restrictions would limit some of the performance innovations that Shelby had wanted to get into his cars. As a result, many of the 1969 models had an emissions control unit, chin spoiler, and hood stripes added to turn them into 1970 models. race their 69' dodge charger.
