69 Mustang would be capable of reaching well above 150 MPH and still save streetability. IF you really want you could push the car over 200 but you are talking about some serious modifications to achieve this. personally I would track down a 428CJ. 69's reallly really have a COOOL Factor to them and leaving one stock is only a good choice if it was highly desireable to begin with. A "Molested" car that originally had the I6 but now has a souped up Year/Style correct V8 Performance engine will be worth more than a showroom quality exact replica of the car how it came from the factory. Remember the people who are BUYING these cars are the ones that wanted them as a kid but never could have them. I don't think anyone DROOLED over an I6/3 speed but if you turn it into a "Clone" Car someones gonna be interested because its close enough to satisfy the drolling their tastes desire. I also would put 20's on the Back and 18's on the Front This is a SWEEEET Look!Where is my intake air tempurature sensor located on my 2003 bmw 330ci?
Last first: This is probably the highlight of the Mustang's existence, in the eyes of many. This year is arguably one of the best looking Mustangs.Is the mazda mx3 rear wheel drive?
Since this is almost a forty-year-old--and potentially very valuable--car, the best rims and engine is definitely the ones that were in the car when it rolled off the line. If your car has its original engine and rims, leave them. You can always customize the hell out of any car, but it's only original once.

As for speed, you can make it go as fast as you want by just increasing the engine size. But that is probably not a good idea in a car this old. For the sake of both collectability and safety, keep the '69 as original as possible, and choose a later Mustang (late 80s to now) to make fast. A more modern car has more modern suspension, more modern brakes, and can be modified a lot cheaper.
dude you can make the car as slow as a turd or so fast you kill yourself withen a 2 seconds. I would recomend if you want cheap power but reliable. Go with a 289 or 302 block and stroke it. Find your self some heads on ebay that have been ported or some after market heads but the GT 40P heads are fairly awesome breathing heads. I love torque more than power so of course I recomend a RV or Truck camshaft and the best intake I have ever bought is the Summit Racing Stage 2 intake for 130 bucks. For a carburetor get a Demon and a good breathing exhaust.

15 inch rimsThe motor depends on your money

4 - 390
5 - 351 c
6 - 351w

My self I would find a cheap 390 (60's thick block) and bore .080 and edelbrock aluminum heads to make a nostalgic 406 . or a 351 c 4v set up unless money was no object then it would be a 427 SOHC .
Problem with bmw ignition will not start engine but everything else turns on HELP?
You left out the Boss 429, even more power and value.2007 G35 Sedan Journey or Sport?
Well, you have picked a topic near & dear to my heart. I have a '69 mach 1 (sportsroof) in my yard just waiting to get back on the road for the summer, and the '69 is really my favorite year. My car was originally a 351 car with a 4-speed, 9" rear and deluxe interior. When I bought it, the 351 had been replaced with a 428cj which I found out later was really a 390 with a 428 crank & 428 heads(which is what a true 428 was, but this really was a 390 block. Found out about the engine when it snapped the oil pump shaft & died. I replaced the big block with a 351 crate engine stroked to 408. The car now has a rack & pinion steering conversion(a fantastic investment if you actually like to drive the car), coil-over front end, TKO-600 5-speed trans along with a Tru-Trac limited slip rear, a Cobra rear disc-brake conversion and Moser axles with Competition Engineering Slide-a-Link traction control bars. I have 17" x 8" Torque-Thrust II wheels with Cooper Aeon Sport 245-75-r17 tires, and this car has never been so much fun to drive. I agree that there is something about "only original once", but a '69 mustang coupe is not the car to make a councours restoration out of. They were a dime-a-dozen, and are one of the largest production years for the early cars. I would subscribe to Mustangs & Fords magazine if you are intersted in the "resto-mod" path, or Mustangs Monthly if you want to go down the concours route. The bottom line is that it is YOUR car, build it the way YOU want it to be. As far as speed goes, these cars were raced very competitively in '69 & '70, and there are plenty of high performance & safety parts out there, so speed is really just a question of money: how fast do you want to spend?More Questions & Answers ...
