Vehicle Description
This 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is an original, unrestored survivor
with 30,878 original miles (mileage not indicated on the title).
With the introduction of the Cobra Jet 428 engine in mid-1968, Ford
had a genuine muscle car in their stable with the Mustang. 1969 saw
the introduction of a new model to help promote the new Cobra Jet
engine outside of a Shelby, the Mach 1. Base engines started with
their other new engine, the small-block 351, next was the venerable
390 engine and then the top-of-the-line 428 Cobra Jet, now with Ram
Air in the form of a Shaker hood scoop. With special striping, a
blacked-out hood and the new-for-1969 styling, it was an aggressive
car with performance to back up that image. This 1969 Mustang Mach
1 has had its engine and transmission restored and some normal-wear
items have been changed, but it otherwise original. It was sold new
at Levisay Ford Motor Sales Inc. in Grayson, KY, on February 19,
1969. The Silver Jade paint is complemented by the blacked-out
theme of the Mach 1. Further setting apart the Silver Jade shade of
paint are the black deluxe knit vinyl high-back bucket seats with
center console. Powering this beautiful Mach 1 is its original
matching-numbers 428ci Cobra Jet R-code Ram Air engine with
matching-numbers 4-speed manual transmission sending the power to a
matching-numbers 3.50 Traction-Lok differential. It been
time-capsuled since new, keeping the original paint gleaming while
being well-maintained as a car that has been driven and enjoyed.

with an Elite Marti Report. Additionally, the car comes with a
plethora of original paperwork and has its original Ford Motor Co.
