My Mach 1 changes coming.

WITH!!!! Wish they were a tad bigger and a bit deeper positioned. Please share the installation details. This, IMHO, is how it should look like!!!

Fog lights look good. At first when I bought my used Mach 1 it came with them, I wasn’t sure if I liked them or

yes or no on fog lights?

yes. I have mine and think they look great.

1969 Mach 1, you may have said before, but I was wondering what engine you have in your 1969 Mach 1?

Should be a 351 if stock. Says on the hood 351 in the pictures.

I thought it was a 351 too, but I had read somewhere that the 351 wasn't used in the Mach 1 until 1970, and the 390 was the standard for the 1969.
When I was looking for my first car in 1972/73 the 1969 Mach 1 was on my list, and I thought I even test drove a 351. Of course that was a long time ago, and I wanted to make sure; just in case I got in another discussion/argument about cars

1969 was the first year of the 351, and a standard on the Mach 1 platform. You could get the Windsor or Cleveland engines.

Mach 1s came standard with the 351s. 390s were an option in '69 only, though I've never seen one. 428s were the more common optional upgrade for '69 and '70.

I remember seeing 69 Mach 1's with 390's, and I remember looking at a 69 with either a 428 or 429 at a used car lot not far from home. I just couldn't swear after reading the article about the 351 in a 69.
Thanks for clearing that up.
By the way, at that time the 351 would have been the only engine my insurance company would have insured in a Mach 1 for me.

My dad bought a new 1972 Mach 1 with a 351. I remember seeing the sticker. Price was like $3,300.

This and price are part of the reason my dad ordered the 351c back then. He and my brother spent the last several years restoring the car that he bought back over 20 years ago. The engine is now 414cid.

Just replace all the plastic push pins on front splitter. Put threaded rivets in and put 1/4 x 20 bolts stainless steel. I have two front splitters and I have a new one and I use when it’s scraped up a little so I like to switch them back-and-forth.

Well this is a revelation.........My splitter was drooping a bit. I removed the lower splitter to install rivnuts and something didn't look right. After referring back to your excellent pictures I realized what the issue was. A dealership replaced the engine oil pan which had been leaking since day 1. I got the car back in May. The dealer apparently put the leading edge of the belly pan below the upper splitter rather than above it.

Thank you for the detailed pics. See what I found below:
