I'm looking into buying a 1969 Ford Mustang Sportsroof as a weekend car. However, i'm not really that experienced with these classic mustangs so I was hoping for some advice!

The car that I found is a regular Sportsroof. It is not a Mach 1 although it does have the stripes.
Rebuilt 302 engine with new pistons and everything.
Rebuilt C6 automatic transmission (owner claims 120,000 on like frame and the engine and tranny is new).
New dual exhaust and mufflers
New shocks and springs
Original front disk brakes but with new pads
Last painted around 20 years ago

I was told that the only rust spot on the car is the rocker panel.

The owner says he bought it 7 years ago off a guy who rebuilt it, and since then he has installed the above parts.

Listed price is 13,500 CAD

The car is a 4 hour drive away, so do you guys think its worth the asking price? And how much would it cost to fix the rusted rocker panel?

Looking forward to learning a lot off this forum!
Thanks!

I would jump all over that!

Are you sure it's a c6 and not a c4?

I'm not sure, I've never seen a C6 in a 1969, but this is what the owner told me

I'd love to know why, is it just based off the looks? Or do you think its worth the price?

I understand that you said it is not a real Mach 1, but it IS fixed up just like one and I have seen Many of the Mach 1's sell for $40,000 to $50.000 dollars. + I used to have a '69 mach 1 and would LOVE to have another one!

The only high dollar Mach1s are well documented 428 CJs...beware of this valuation.

a ford dealer just 10 miles from my house sold one about 8 months ago for 42,000 dollars. It was a '69 Mach 1 with a 351 windsor 4 barrell. It did however look like it was brand new, like just off the showroom floor.

That blue fastback looks really nice, but it does have rust and I'm in Canada so I can't really go see it.
