Vehicle Description
This restored 1969 Mustang Mach 1 428 Super Cobra Jet includes the
Drag Pack option - a performance package that came with
Traction-Lok differential, 3.91 or 4.3 ratio axle, engine oil
cooler, cap screw connecting rods, and modified crankshaft,
flywheel and damper. This 428 SCJ was built in San Jose and shipped
to a Ford dealer in Washington. At some point while racing, the car
blew a slick that launched it into a guardrail at full speed. The
result was a rolling hulk with the original roof, firewall,
floorboards and trunk lid. The body panels were replaced with
either new old stock or top-grade reproductions. The project was
shipped to Thoroughbred Restorations in Oklahoma City for
completion and the period-correct Ford 428ci V8 FE engine was
rebuilt by Keith Craft. Other repairs and maintenance have been
performed by Classic Automotive in Austin, TX. For running and
starting purposes, a Brawler carburetor and electronic ignition
were installed (original parts are included in the sale). This car
was given the name "Cinderella" and was written about by
independent automotive journalist Steve Magnante in his
Barrett-Jackson-posted article dated October 1, 2018. As ordered
from the factory, it came with 4-wheel drum brakes, 4-speed
close-ratio manual transmission, 428 Super Cobra Jet engine with
Drag Pack (after 2/20/69) and Ram Air hood, Traction-Lok
differential, F70x14 traction tires with raised white lettering, AM
radio and tinted glass.
