Actor and comedian David Spade will be auctioning off his personal 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, Arizona today at no reserve. Spade admits that he always wanted a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 and was fortunate to acquire one back in 2013. But now, it is time to part ways with the beauty, and Spade says that he cannot think of a better place to do so than at the renowned Barrett-Jackson auction.
While David says that he will be moving on and looking for something new, he offers no insight into what that vehicle might be. Regardless, it’s safe to assume that fans and Mustang aficionados alike will be more than eager to bring this stunner home to their garage. Take a look at the video clip below to learn a little more about Spade’s Mach 1 before it crosses the block later. You can also view the full auction page for this sweet ride right here.
The celebrity ownership history is surely going to help attract plenty of bids and raise the price of this ’69 Mach 1 all the same. The only thing that might have car enthusiasts shaking their heads is the fact that this Mustang is not a manual. When explaining why he chose automatic, Spade said that navigating through Los Angeles traffic in his stick shift was becoming quite the chore. He also added: “It’s perfect for doing donuts in the Chili’s parking lot.”
This 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 features a Dark Gray Metallic exterior paint which Spade explains as an “anthracite” color. It sits on Magnum 500-style 14-inch wheels with Sport Slats rear window louvers, and front and rear spoilers. The interior on this classic is black vinyl and appears to be in excellent condition from the photos provided. Under the hood, this classic is powered by Ford’s 351ci Windsor V8 engine mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission. David Space expresses his love for the vehicle as he prepares to say goodbye to his pride and joy. “It drives fast and is a lot of fun,” he adds.
This car was originally ordered through the Twin Cities District Sales Office and manufactured on June 20, 1969. During prior ownership, the engine and transmission were rebuilt, and modifications are said to include .030 over pistons, a polished crankshaft, ported and polished cylinder heads with hardened valve seats, Pertronix ignition, and auxiliary gauges. A standard Marti Report is also included with the purchase of this vehicle.
