'69 Mach 1 ID.

Hi folks, I just bought what I was told is a '69 Mach 1. I haven't located a
body buck tag for it yet and I think the door sticker has been painted over.
Are ther any other definate ways identifying it as a MACH? It has the deluxe
interior, cobra jet hood scoop with hood pins, fold down rear seat, pop open
gas cap, M code for 351 4V in the vin. FMX automatic transmission, 9" rear
end, missing louvers but the mounting holes in the roof are there, power
steering, power disk brakes, had A/C once. I know all of these could have
been added by the dealer or someone else at one time so I need better proof.
TIA.

If you can get the paint off the door tag...and it has the same
VIN...and it lists "63C" as the body code then it's a Mach 1.

If there is no data tag (or a wrong one) these people can get you the
original paperwork on your car: (I think from just the VIN)

Click on the "Production History Reports" link on the top for more
info.
You can also get a new data tag/sticker.

Here's a pic of a Marti repport for a '69 Mach1:

You can get similar info from Ford for free...it'll probably take
longer...and it's more likely to have errors.
It's known as CAC report, or a History 999 report
Ford Motor Company
(800) 392-3673 or
(313) 322-3000

Happy motoring!

Does it have a "R" in the vin #? If so it's a Mach 1.

Scratch that...I missed your 351 engine in the car. Sorry.

Oh, I forgot to mention it has what looks like the original black carpet
with red inserts.

Only came in the Mach I; all others with Deluxe Interior were
black/black.

Sweet, maybe I'll find the build sheet under the carpet if it isn't too
moldy. The floors have some surface rust that need attention from leaks.

That's very nice indeed. My "dream car" when I was a kid was either
a 69 Mach 1 or a 69 Cougar Eliminator. Didn't get either.

I'll sell you mine. ~
