I'm currently pondering the purchase of an all original '69 Mach 1, H-code, Gulfstream Aqua w/white interior. I'm trying to research the current market for Mach 1s but all I've found are M-codes or higher . . . not any H-codes at all. My question is do H-codes hold significantly less value than M-codes? I can't find an M-code under 20k and I may be able to get this H-code for 13-14k.

We looked over the car pretty thoroughly and it's in solid condition. It has very minor rust that we could easily fix and the carb needs to be rebuilt but other than that it really just needs to be cleaned up and run as it hasn't been consistently driven for over 10 years. The interior is near mint, with possibly only the headliner needing to be replaced.

They were the base model mach1, so are less desirable but easier to mod from a collectible point of view. Heck, look at mine.
Where in NM are you?

.
an m code is worth maybe 20% more.

if it runs fine ans does not need an engine, trans and brake rebuild, and the body is otherwise all orig and mint, it is definitely worth 14k. . that is also one of the best, and rarest color combos ever made.

1969mach1377, I really dig that hood mounted tach. Is that something you added? I'm considering it for my 69 H-code Mach 1, somewhere down the road.

Thanks,
I found it at a swap meeting in Denver in 1990 and understand that it was a dealer option back in the day. I think they can still be found or something close. Search here more, I think someone bought one recently.

You did good. Now get a battery and start driving it. Maybe I'll see you around...

.
you didn't mention it was a 4 speed . . you better go back and give the poor guy you stole it from some more money.

Actually it's a three speed...wish it was a 4 speed. That will probably be one of the few mods I'll eventually do
