I have joined the Canadian Mustang Owners Club with the intent of (hopefully) locating my old '69 Mach 1. Recently, while looking through some old photos & paperwork from my deceased parents collection of 'stuff' I came across an Insurance Document which has the VIN of my old Mustang.

Being the 'newbie' here, I'll wait and see what you guys and gals think I should do next. By the way, I sold the car back in 1975 to a high school friend and from what information I have gathered it was last registered in 1996 in Saskatchewan.

It's nice to be on board and I look forward to your suggestions and direction.

Welcome, what you do next is up to you, good luck on the search.

Welcome and good luck!

Welcome to the site. Good to see someone from Kelowna on here. I thought I was the only one. Do you currently have a Mustang? How is the search going for the old one? Not sure if ICBC would be willing to do a VIN trace for you because of privacy legislation but you never know.

Hi Ray,

Nice to see someone else here from the valley taking an interest. Sorry to say but I don't have a Mustang at this time but have been looking for my old Mach 1 for only a few weeks. As previously mentioned the Insurance Document I found was by 'happen-stance' going through my folks box of old docs.

I do have a VIN for my car and it is as follows; 9R02R130002 which indicates the car was born in San Jose, CA as a fast back with a 428 CJ Ram Air. It was a 'triple red', 4 speed with a black hood/shaker non spoiler, non fold down rear seat. I bought it off of a Ford Tech Rep in Camrose that had done some engine work on it. The engine had a 427 dual point distributor and adjustable valve train. I bought a set of Cyclone headers that took me a couple of days to install as they were a bear to install. I also changed the shifter to a Competition Plus from the OEM Inland that wasn't one of Ford's 'better Ideas'.

I have spoken to the guy I sold it to and he only had the car for 2 summers before selling it. Apparently, the torque boxes were cracked which spooked him. That was likely because of the M&H slicks I had on the car back then when I used to give the 'Chevy boys' a run for their money.

Here's hoping that with this additional info I can get closer to finding my old Mach 1. By the way, ICBC won't divulge any info re; previous owners...I attend McCurdy regularly maybe we can meet up then. Look for a 55 Chev straight axle Gasser...that will be me.

I have two Mustangs. Both are auto's. I would like to get them both out to car shows but I can't drive two at the same time. Maybe I can enlist your help this spring and summer if your interested.

Hi Ray,
