Vehicle Description
The Mach 1 was introduced for the 1969 model year and became a big
success. Standard power train equipment was the 351 Cubic inch V8
that put out nearly 250 HP with the top of the line option being
the functioning Ram-Air 428 Cubic Inch 7.0 Liter Super Cobra Jet
option, producing an estimated 340 HP as this car is equipped. Also
equipped with a "R" Code traction lock and a 4-speed manual. This
Mustang is on consignment and comes out of a 20 year ownership with
nearly 15 of those years spent on a meticulous restoration. The car
was pulled out of orange grove in Florida back in 1999 and was told
that the car had been there all of 20 years. At the time the
odometer showed 4,000 miles and which is believed to be accurate
mileage based on the information given, as the car had been sitting
since at least 1979. When the current owner picked up the car, it
was in-tact however in disrepair, with a lot of the car being in
boxes in the interior and trunk. During the restoration process,
they tried to use as much of the factory parts that were included,
however some were just not useable like the clutch for instance
that proved to be a lot harder to find than first thought. One was
finally found in Cleveland, OH. This is also a Radio-Delete R-Code
which the Marti report shows only one being built....This one. At
this time the owner was unable to locate the radio delete plastic
panel and opted to outfit the car with a original AM-8 Track that
does work. Body work was done by Jim Witt of Roscommon MI and the
engine was completely rebuilt by Meyer Performance Engines using
proper 428 SCJ specs. Although not sitting on the original wheels,
the stock wheels are included in the sale. As of recent, Hammer and
Dolly automotive restoration completed a re-fresh of the car,
including brakes and suspension and other odds and ends to make
sure that this is a turn key automobile. This is a numbers matching
Indian Fire Red R-Code that is an important piece of competition
cars that could be purchased off the show room floor. The original
Marti report, window sticker and recent service are all
included.
