30k-Mile - 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet - 4-Speed This
1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is a highly coveted factory R-code example
boasting just 31,688 original miles and a documented four-owner
history. Produced on June 9, 1969, at the Metuchen, New Jersey
facility, the car has been treated to a no-expense-spared, show-
quality restoration backed by nearly $100,000 in receipts. It is
powered by a date-coded 428ci Cobra Jet V8 paired with a
close-ratio four-speed manual transmission and a 3.501 Traction-Lok
rear axle. Beautifully presented in its factory-correct Acapulco
Blue, this Mach 1 balances pristine original elements with
tasteful, drivability-focused upgrades. The body is finished in the
highly desirable factory shade of Acapulco Blue (Paint Code 3077-A)
with reflective gold Mach 1 side stripes. The exterior was
meticulously refinished during the restoration and features the
signature blackout hood treatment, complete with a functional Ram
Air Shaker hood scoop. Additional exterior equipment includes
quarter-panel scoops, color-keyed dual racing mirrors, quad exhaust
outlets, and brilliant chrome bumpers. The trunk is properly
detailed and houses the correct jack assembly along with a vintage
Wide-Oval spare tire. Inside, the cabin is an incredible time
capsule, featuring its original interior. The high-back front
bucket seats and rear sport deck seat are trimmed in black knit
vinyl with red accent stripes, complemented by woodgrain trim on
the dashboard, center console, and door panels. A rare and notable
highlight is the factory Tilt-Away steering column- which is fully
functional-capped by a classic Rim-Blow steering wheel. While the
interior remains highly original, a modern air conditioning system
has been cleanly integrated to blow ice-cold air, making summer
cruising an absolute pleasure. Under the shaker hood sits the 428ci
Cobra Jet V8. It is well-documented within the Mustang community
that engines assembled at the Metuchen plant during this period
were not stamped with VINs. However, this engine features a May 3,
1969, block casting date that aligns perfectly with the cars June
9, 1969, build date. Along with the correctly date-coded heads and
surrounding engine components, it is strongly believed to be the
original powerplant. To enhance reliability and turn-key
drivability, the engine has been discreetly upgraded with a modern
fuel injection system while maintaining a period-correct aesthetic
under the hood. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a
close-ratio four-speed manual transmission and a Traction-Lok
differential with 3.50 gearing. The car is also equipped with
factory power steering and power front disc brakes, ensuring it
handles and stops as well as it accelerates. This unparalleled Mach
1 is offered with a thick binder of documentation, including close
to $100,000 in restoration receipts detailing the world-class work
performed. A full Marti Report is also included, confirming the
cars R-Code pedigree, factory colors, and original options. With
its low original mileage, exceptional factory options, and top-tier
restoration, this Super Cobra Jet Mach 1 stands as one of the
finest examples available on the market today. Vin and Deluxe Marti
