Here’s the story:

“I’m looking for my pop’s 1969 Mach 1 Mustang. I thought of it recently after my mum got engaged to my now stepdad. I reckon Pop would be stoked for them both — he loved Mum so much, and I just had this feeling like… if I could find his old Mustang, it’d be like having a part of him at the wedding. He sold the car when Mum was born — his biggest regret. If I could track it down or even just hire one just like it for the big day, I feel like he’d be there with us, y’know?” This is the only photo I have of her.
It was sold out of Nar Nar Goon, Victoria around 1978-1980

Ps: it was raced in Dandenong once by my Nan to teach some cocky Streeter’s a lesson. She left ‘em behind! Uncles were in the back seat too!

This isn’t the first time he’s tried to find the car — it’s his third go at it — but this time he’s reaching out to the Aussie Garage community to spread the word far and wide.

Here’s what we know about the car:

• Make/Model: 1969 Mustang Mach 1
• Transmission: Manual
• Engine: Believed to be a 351
• Colour: Acapulco Blue with white stripes on the bonnet
• Interior: Black
• Steering: Right-hand drive
• Number Plate (at the time): VIC plates, KTD-981

If you’ve seen a car like this — or if you think you know someone who might currently own it — this is your chance to help bring a family’s memory roaring back to life. Whether the car still lives on in someone’s garage or is tucked away in a shed waiting to be rediscovered, your lead could make a huge difference.

Let’s show what this community is capable of. Repost, tag your Mustang mates, and keep your eyes peeled. Let’s help bring Pop’s pride and joy home — or at least back into the family for one unforgettable wedding day.
