69 mustang fastback

I have found a 69 mustang fastback, it is in pieces since the guy took it
apart and realized it was in need of alot of work he didn't have time for,
it has the original 289 in it, all the parts are there, but the windows were
left down and there is water damage, he wants $1200 for it does anyone think
it is worth that, or should I pay less?

Any help would be appreciated!

69 mustang didn't come with a 289. You sure it's not a 302?

Otherwise, any fastback that looks like it's restorable without major
surgey is worth $1200. Sounds like a good deal

The big question is .... how much are you willing to put into bringing
it back? The guy who has it now was probably faced with the same
thing, and the project turned out to be far bigger than he initially
expected. So it ended up as a basket case. If you are not looking to
put in the time, effort, and expense, I'd pass, and keep looking. It
may take longer to find a good one that's ready to go, but it could
take forever to restore one.

Hey! Spikey Likes IT!
1965 Ford Mustang fastback 2+2 A Code 289 C4 Trac-Lok
Vintage Burgundy w/Black Standard Interior
Vintage 40 Wheels 16X8"
w/BF Goodrich Comp T/A Radial 225/50ZR16

The 289 CID engine was not available in the 1969 model year. Check the VIN
for the engine code. The 1969 Mustang model year offered 9 different engine
options - the most of any model year. The available 8-cylinder engines in
1969 are as follows:

302 2V - F code
Boss 302 - G code
351W 2V - H code
351W 4V - M code
428CJ - Q code
428CJ Ram Air - R code
390 - S code
Boss 429 - Z code

Yet another $.02 worth from a proud owner of a 1970 Mach 1 351C (M code) @

Might be. How much work does it actually need? The big question is how
much rust does it have.

To me the question would be: Can you do most or all of the body/paint
work yourself? If yes, and you have the time, go for it. If you have to
hire this type of stuff out, it is almost always more expensive than
buying a finished or nearly finished car.

It either doesn't have a 289 or it's not original or it's not a '69.

Are you nuts? If you don't want it I will buy it for that price. They
don't make fastbacks or convertibles so you should go for it. The only
way I would not is if the thing was covered in rust...

the car itself has no rust its originally from arizona the title says its a
69 mustang fastback motor is a 289, the only bad part on the body is the
rear fender, looks like somebody hit it lightly no internal body damage, the
floor needs to be redone due to water damage, all original parts are in a
huge box, the only bad part was a cracked taillight, the windows don't roll
up, but other than that pretty easy fix just need parts to update suspension
and brakes, the motor runs, it has about 55,000 miles on it so I think I
will end up buying it anyways, and if I get it all ripped apart since I will
be doing a frame off restoration and feel that its too much work I will let
you all know

Thank you for the input! let you know if I come across a problem!

in '69 it was 'sportsroof', meaningless I know.
1969 engine options: were 200,250,302,351,390,428.

Something is in error. Check the vin and the engine itself to see what
you have.
