1969 mustang mach 1 428 cobra jet for sale

This 1969 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet is a pristine example of one of the most iconic models from the golden era of muscle cars. It is powered by the 428 cu in (7.0-litre) V8 ‘Cobra Jet’ engine with four-barrel carburettor and Ram Air induction, and driven through the four-speed close-ratio manual transmission. The indicated mileage is just 2,650 miles, which is not warranted.

The Cobra Jet engine was introduced to the Mustang range in 1968, which was followed closely by the launch of the Mach 1 performance package. This left-hand drive car is a genuine R-code example, manufactured at the San Jose, California factory in April 1969. It was specified with a number of desirable options, including power steering, the ‘shaker’ hood and the front chin spoiler. More recently, the car has been the subject of an extensive restoration, and now presents superbly.

Its Black Jade paintwork is described by the vendor as being in excellent condition. There is a glossy, even finish around the whole car - and it is perfectly set off by the gold ‘Mach 1’ stripes and script down the flanks and around the rear spoiler. The only significant blemish is some chipped paint around the top of the nearside rear wheel arch.

The sought-after ‘shaker hood’ bonnet features pin fastenings, and the front of the car features the optional chin spoiler in the correct black finish. All of the chromework around the body is in very good order. The car sits on a set of five-spoke black and polished steel 14-inch rims, which are free of blemishes and secured by pristine wheel bolts.

Inside, the ‘Deluxe’ interior has been fully re-trimmed, with the high-back front seats and rear seats upholstered in soft cream smooth vinyl and ‘knitted’ vinyl finishes. The dashboard is trimmed in black vinyl, complete with the original simulated teak wood grain panels around the instrument dials and in the door cards. Under foot, the floors are fitted with black carpets and red overmats. The console is equipped with a JVC radio cassette player.

Lifting the bonnet reveals an engine bay that presents superbly. The imposing Cobra Jet engine sits far back, accented by the bright blue of the air cleaner, and topped by the ribbed bonnet scoop. It benefits from having a recent thorough service, including renewal of all fluids. The most recent technical inspection took place in July 2019, which resulted in no warnings or advisories. All four wheels are shod with Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tyres, in size 225/60 R14 at the front and 235/60 R14 at the rear.

This 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Cobra Jet is a fantastic example of one of the most significant American performance cars of its era. It is presented in pristine condition - a true credit to its fastidious former keeper - and is ready to thrill a new owner with its power and presence.

Please note: in the event of a successful auction, the winning bid will also include free delivery to the next owner's local port of entry in Europe.

The 428 Super Cobra Jet and the Boss 429 are the rarest of the 1969 Mustangs. The 428 Cobra Jet was a huge success for Ford, both on-track and on the showroom floor, with the option continued for 1969 and 1970. Further developments included functional Ram Air cold-air induction with a through-the-hood Shaker scoop. The 428 Super Cobra Jet upped the ante with heavy-duty internals including a stronger crankshaft and Le Mans connecting rods, plus a specific flywheel and counterweight, as well as a crankshaft harmonic balancer. For the truly committed, the Drag Pack option included an engine-oil cooler and automatically kicked in when 3.91:1 or 4.30:1 rear-end gears were selected from the Mustang’s many factory-available options.

Accompanied by a Marti Report confirming its original details, our Mustang SCJ with it´s configuration is one of only five (5) built 1969 Mach 1, which was delivered to Mullins Ford dealership located in Richlands, VA. An all-out, ‘R-Code’ 428 SCJ-powered example, this Mach 1 is highly equipped with further performance options including a Top loader four-speed, close-ratio manual transmission, and Drag Pack including a 3.91:1 Traction-Lok 9-inch rear end and engine-oil cooler. Other original items included a power steering, power front disc brakes, an optional AM/8-Track Stereo, Black Clarion Knit/Vinyl Mach 1 Hi-Back bucket seats, a Rim-Blow Deluxe steering wheel, interior wood grain highlights, a standard rear seat, and Goodyear Polyglas white-letter tires.

Moreover and important, our Mustang was carefully restored for MCA Judging over a four-year period, attaining the Gold Status Trailered Division Award in earlier 2013. As one of the hottest Mustangs – and American factory ‘supercars’ – ever built, this R-Code, four-speed 1969 Mustang Mach 1 simply ticks all the boxes for a great muscle car investment and is most probably the best “Concours Trailer-Queen” to find in Europe.

Considering an international valuations report of Hagerty,  our Mustang Mach 1 SCJ qualifies for condition #1 or concours standard called;
“Condition #1 vehicles are the best in the world. The visual image is of the best vehicle, in the right colours, driving onto the lawn at the finest concours. Perfectly clean, the vehicle has been groomed down to the tire treads. Painted and chromed surfaces are mirror-like. Dust and dirt are banned, and materials used are correct and superbly fitted. The one word description for #1 vehicles is “concours.” – valuated Dec. 2020 at USD 142.000,-.”
