1969 Mustang To 1970 Mustang Pictures

Legendary styling and awesome brute horsepower of the 1969 Mustang and 1970 Mustang place this generation among the best of the big muscle car era.

Engine options now included the 200ci six cylinder, a 302, 351, 390 and 428 V8. The small block 351 Windsor was based on the 289/302 block. In 1970 the small block 351 Cleveland also became available. The 390, 428 (and the 427) were all based from Ford's big block. An additional four inches was also added to the Mustang' overall length.

Limited production Boss 302's and 429's were offered to the public in the 1969 and '70 model years. Built to be professionally raced the Boss 302 was very successful in the Trans Am series. The Boss 429 was built for Nascar, but the engine was never raced there in a Mustang. Less than 9,000 Boss 302's were produced. The '70 Boss 302 sold for $4,100. About 1,300 Boss 429's were produced at $5,100 each.

The Mach 1 was introduced and offered with the 351, 390 or 428, a stiffer suspension and was offered only as the Sportsroof (fastback). Manual drum brakes were standard with power front discs available. The 351 Mach 1's were the most popular by far with the 390 being the rarest because it didn't cost much more to step up to a lot more power with the 428.
