Vehicle Description
This Mustang is one of only 20 1969 Q-code 428 Cobra Jet
convertibles built with a 4-speed manual transmission. It's also
one of just 50 with the 428 CJ non-Ram Air engine and one of three
painted in Acapulco Blue - two of which sported the black standard
bucket seats of this example. It is the only one with an AM/FM
stereo radio - the only option ordered on the car, because this was
meant for racing and extra weight was considered unnecessary.
Originally ordered out of Elizabeth, New Jersey, and produced on
April 8, 1969, the car - which has a competition suspension - has
an illustrious racing history, setting an NHRA national record in
E-Stock Eliminator in the early 1970s. In its racing life, it ran
in a number of different classes, piloted by the team of Terry
Dubowick, Rich Baldassari and John Presing. It eventually made its
way to Marcus Anghel's acclaimed shop in Scottsdale, AZ, for a full
restoration. One of the rarest Ford Mustang convertibles ever, this
car comes with documentation that includes the dealer invoice,
Marti Report, restoration photographs - and even a historical photo
of the car on the track, with a time ticket from Raceway Park in
Englishtown, NJ, showing a time of 11:79 at 115.83 mph.
