This is an original Ford center dash A/C defrost/vent register, part number C9ZA-18490-B, for 1969-1970 Ford Mustang models equipped with factory air conditioning. This part is genuinely scarce — it is not currently reproduced for the 1969-70 Mustang, making original examples like this highly sought after by restorers.
Fits: 1969-1970 Ford Mustang with factory A/C (also correct for related 1969-1970 Mercury Cougar and Shelby Mustang applications, per the same part family)
Condition: The Item is in Good Condition, it Just Needs a Little Cleanup. See photos.
Why this is a significant find:
- Dedicated Mustang restoration forums explicitly confirm this center A/C vent is not reproduced for 1969-70 models — originals are the only source
- Enthusiast forum discussion specifically states "originals go for big money," with one owner reporting a sale of $400 for this exact vent
- This isn't just a simple hole in the dash — it's part of the genuine factory-integrated A/C system introduced for 1969, making it a critical, hard-to-substitute component for a correct factory A/C restoration
- Also correct for Shelby Mustang and Cougar applications, broadening your buyer pool
