1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Sportsroof – Classic American Muscle Car in Restored Top Condition

Basic Information and History

An icon from the American muscle car era – this is a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Sportsroof, imported from the USA and first registered in Sweden in 2002. Since then, the car has had three owners, one of whom (Fredrik Karlsson from Skogstorp) undertook an extensive restoration between 2000 and 2002. The odometer reads 61,208 km, but this cannot be verified. The car comes with a Marti Report, original owner’s manual, and documentation showing how it was originally ordered. All documents from the restoration are preserved.

Equipment and Options

This is not just any Mustang – it's a genuine Mach 1 Sportroof with a stylish and period-correct specification. Below are some of the car’s key upgrades and options:

1. Holley Sniper EFI system for improved performance and fuel efficiency
2. MSE electronic ignition system
3. 3-inch stainless steel exhaust system
4. Shortened Ford 9" rear axle with 31-spline Currie axles, shortened by 5 cm
5. Retro-styled stereo – modern tech in a classic package
6. Four-wheel disc brakes, installed during the restoration
7. Automatic transmission with manual valve body

Condition

The car is in excellent condition, both aesthetically and mechanically. The body was 100% soda-blasted and repainted during the early 2000s restoration. No rust is present, and there are no dents, scratches, or door dings noted. A few minor stone chips around the wheel arches are visible, which is normal for a gently used car.

2. Paint: Repainted during restoration, only minor stone chips
3. Glass & Chrome: In good condition
4. Wheels & Tires: No damage, brand new tires all around

The service was performed by the owner, who has thoroughly documented the entire restoration process with photos and receipts. The engine rebuild was carried out by Seved Karlsson in Sunne, and all relevant documentation is included.

1. Latest Inspection: 2017-07-24 (inspection report available)
