    Need Some Help Deciding on a 69 Mustang

    I've been looking for a 69-70 Stang for some time. Im currently looking at a 69 Mustang Grande. I had one of these back in the old days

    Anyway, obviously I don't want to get stuck with a car that I someday cant get rid of if needed be. I've read a few of my Mustang books and very little is mentioned about the Grande, although it is the first year for this production. It was considered the Luxury version and came with a 302 2v.

    Am I totally wasting my money on something like this? I mean, I dont plan on keeping it in the state that its in, and some money will be dumped into it.

    Why is this car seem to get zero respect when they only made a little over 22k of these in 69?

    Come on guys need your advise here, I'm dieing to pick up a 69-70 that doesn't break the bank, this is a good priced one.

    Very Clean 1969 Ford Mustang Grande:
    302 Cubic Inch
    A/C (clutch out)
    Power Steering
    Original Radio
    125K mileage actual
    Manual power brakes
    Interior - New
    Exterior excellent no dents (Beautiful paint)
    Car never been out of Arizona
    No broken glass
    Everything works except A/C
    Tires less than 2000 miles
    Passed AZ Emissions in June 2007
    Complete new cooling system; water pump, radiator, hoses etc.

    Two owners, inherited vehicle from late Uncle. Can be used as a show car or if one wanted a project car.
    $7999 but will entertain all offers. Car can be seen and driven in central Phoenix, AZ.

    Someone might even know this car, the guys name is Mick.

    Im looking at this as a potential Boss 302 Clone.

    i have a meadowlark yellow mustang grande. i have been told different things about em' they are luxury but not. they are a mustang coupe with all of the mach 1 options for example the 9" rear end. i have only seen two other grande's from 69 and then this one on craigslist. they really are great mustangs still

    Do you know why these get such a bad rap? I mean there is very little information about them other than Wood grain inserts and a clock and better insulation, but thats about it.

    I had a 1970 Mustang Grande with a 351 Cleveland (NOM) in it and loved it.

    Pro's:
    -pretty rare car espacially in that kind of condition
    -me and you can be the grande brothers on cruises (sounds dirty)
    -The grande is deffinatly a conversation starter because alot of people dont understand the significance of them due to the rarity
    -you can be one more person who explains that the grande is not longer but better as a coupe
    -came with more features
    -parts are the same off of a 68 coupe (seriously)
    Cons:
    -hell i cant think of any its a mustang
    ill get back to you on that one or someone else can for me

    WRONG body style, the Boss is a fastback, better to leave it a Grande, if you want to build a clone Boss, find a 69 Sportsroof
