The 69 body style of mustang is and always will be the best looking chassis. That start up was fantastic and that idle my goodness. Hands down if I grew up in that era THAT would have been my car. Even the 66 GTO lol awesome video
It’s not really that, it’s just that an engine is usually louder and more raspy/rough upon a cold start. You get this effect even on the most modern cars. But perhaps nostalgia does play into some of these older cars that are, in fact, harder to start
69 was always the best to me. Had one for a short time, Red, 351W Auto. Now a 13 S/C’d, Tremec 6spd somewhat 69/70 tribute. Cam phasers kill the dream of lumpy idle! Enjoy your ride!!!
OMG! this is such a fucking wonderful sound that i have goosebumps all over my body 💥❤👌 68 to 73 were the best years of American motoring in my opinion
Yea, because in those days once you hit 25,000 miles you better be looking for a new car because by 50,000 it was dead on the side of the road, the only reason why those cars are any good is because they've been rebuilt to today's standards. Find me an orginal car from that time period, that had nothing done to it, that had over 100,000 miles, you can't.
My old car would always fire right up, sold it late last year, drove it daily, ultimately it wasn't my dream car, but it ran real well and i took care of it.
My uncle had the same year car. He parked it in the yard because the transmission failed when I was a child. Then let it sit there and rot into the ground for 15+ years at my grandfathers property. A man drove by once and asked to look at it, then offered my grandfather $4,000 for it. The car was not even worth that in my opinion it was so insanely rusted out. Me and my grandfather relayed the offer to my uncle. He acted like it was worth a easy $10,000+ and then years later he just sold it to a junkyard for $300.
We knew a family whose son had a 69 Mach 1 red.Last time I seen it in the back yard on blocks under a china berry tree.Sad sight.It looked orange bc of all the oxidation.IDK what happened to it but I know it was cherry back in the early eighties.Damn shame
The entire f'ing musclecat world has an appreciation for the '69 EXACTLY as it is, but Anon is so pitifully desperate for validation that shehe had to mouthfart the noise from the brain through the fingertips while pretending to matter at all. The only person who will ever take you seriously is you. And you are no one.
The flat paint on the louvres was intentional. Metallic would be dangerous, creating bright “hotspots” on every angle and edge when the sun is overhead or behind the car. It would make it more difficult to see the glass. In addition, the louvres were there to shade the interior from heat. Hotspots would defeat that purpose.
We had a few. I can’t agree. The handle like crap without significant upgrades to the suspension and the small block 351’s just can’t hang with the big blocks of the era. But this one had a big block and an incredible suspension so it could be a contender.
I'm working on an engine swap on a 1999 Mustang GT. I installed a trooper 2003 engine. While the engine was out I took advantage and also rebuilt the tranny. As of today, Wed. March 21st 2023. The engine has cranked and started. However, fuel delivery seems to be an issue. I believe the fuel system module is assed up. Nevertheless, I hope in short order I can have my GT rolling like this '69, which sounds like a demon.
I love how it literally sharted in the beginning. But it's so beautiful I wouldn't care if it sharted me right in the face. And it purrs so gently like a Bengal tiger during mating season.
As a kid/teen, I was pretty much against classic muscle. I always said that it's the "most basic, boring type of car a car guy can like". Now that I'm 30... holy shit. Just look at the door window shake, WHILE THE ENGINE IS IN IDLE.
Nothing wrong with that how God damn long did it take less than 30 seconds. Then itvfires up you walk in finish your coffee while it's warming up. People did that for 50/60 years before fuel injection son
@@charlesmchone Very nice, i gotta 521 in my 86 Mustang, I'm thinking of going little bigger myself, 572 or 598 Also. Was it Windsor that was originally in your 69 ? My first Engine Swap i did in my 86 probably close to 20 years ago was an Original 69, 290 hp Windsor Engine that my Dad had laying around for awhile, we just Freshened it up, and also put in a Mild Hyd Flat Cam, some Headers, i think i went 12.9,s with that Combo in the 1/4 Mile, then i built a couple different Clevelands for it was going Low to Mid 11,s, then i Finally did my first Big Block, i don't think I'll ever go back to Small Engines, I'm at 521 now, still Stock Block, N/A Unported Trick Flow Street/Strip Heads, Solid Roller, Single 4150 Carb. Goes Low Nines on 275/60,s. Just curious your 572, Which Block you using ? A460 or Eliminator ? I'm looking into the Eliminator Premier Block, with the Billet Main Caps, will probably stay at 572 for now, so it'll last me a while, and can always go Bigger if i need to.
@@charlesmchone And Beautiful Mustang by the way, looks like you gotta few nice one's in your Driveway, i Actually had a few 87,88 Thunderbird Turbo Coupes also, Always wanted to build a Bob Glidden Tribute Type Car, when he ran those Turbo Coupe Bodies in 87 and 88, the Red Motocraft T-Birds, Those we're my Favorite Glidden cars. I believe Bob even said those were his Favorite Race Cars.
