The first-generation – (article: 1969 Ford Mustang Mach)
The first-generation Mach 1s are identifiable by the body style code 63C on the door data plate.
The Mach 1 was built on a V8-powered SportsRoof body, which was enhanced with cosmetic and performance upgrades such as a matte black hood with hood pins and scoop (including the optional Shaker scoop), competition suspension, chrome pop-open gas cap, updated wheels with Goodyear Polyglas tires, chrome exhaust tips (except for the 351W 2V), deluxe interior, dealer-optional chin spoiler, rear deck spoiler, and rear window louvers (SportSlats).
The standard Mach 1 was equipped with a 351 cu in (5.8 L) Windsor (351W) 2V engine and a 3-speed manual transmission, paired with a 9-inch (23 cm) 28 spline open rear axle. Buyers could also opt for a 351W 4V engine or a 390 cu in (6.4 L) FE engine. The top-of-the-line engine was the 428 cu in (7.0 L) Cobra Jet 4V, which was available with or without Ram Air. There was also a “drag pack” option that featured a modified 428 cu in (7.0 L) Super Cobra Jet engine.
Transmission choices were a 4-speed manual or a 3-speed FMX (small block)/C6 (big block) automatic transmission. The 428SCJ came with a cast iron tail shaft instead of the regular aluminum one for the C6. A “traction lok” rear axle was available as an option, and the 428 CJ/SCJ included a “traction lok” with a 3.91 or 4.30 ratio, 31 spline axle shafts, and a nodular case. In 1970, the 3.91 ratio was a “traction-lok”, while the 4.30 ratio was a Detroit Locker.
