LaFontaine Classic Cars is proud to present this exceptional 1969
Ford Mustang Mach 1 R-Code, a genuine big-block Mustang that
started life as a factory-equipped 428 Cobra Jet 4-speed car.
Today, it has been meticulously upgraded into a formidable street
and show machine while retaining the character and pedigree that
make R-Code Mustangs some of the most sought-after muscle cars ever
produced.
At the heart of this Mach 1 is a 428 Cobra Jet engine built to
Super Cobra Jet specifications. The engine features a Sep 26th 1968
date-coded block along with correctly dated cylinder heads cast on
8G10 and 8G13. Under the iconic Cobra valve covers resides a
performance-oriented valvetrain featuring billet aluminum roller
rockers and a hydraulic roller camshaft. Fuel delivery is handled
by a Demon carburetor that has been professionally rebuilt, while a
complete MSD ignition system ensures reliable spark and performance
throughout the RPM range. An SCJ oil cooler system is in place as
well to keep those oil temps down on hot days as well as a 3""
Aluminum Radiator and more!
Power is routed through a Tremec TKO 600 5-speed manual
transmission, providing excellent drivability and highway cruising
capability. A Currie 9-inch rear end equipped with 3.91 posi trac
gear that puts the power to the ground with confidence and
durability.
This Mach 1 sits aggressively on the largest BF Goodrich Radial T/A
tires that can be fitted without mini tubs, featuring massive
295/50R15 rear tires and 235/60R15 fronts. The stance is exactly
what a big-block Mustang should be; muscular, purposeful, and ready
to perform.
Inside, the cabin retains its classic Mach 1 character while
benefiting from thoughtful upgrades. Mach 1 inspired bucket seats,
Power Windows, Heated Seats, Dakota Digital gauges provide modern
accuracy and readability, while a RetroSound radio, upgraded door
speakers, and enhanced audio system offer modern sound quality
without compromising the vintage appearance.
Equally impressive is the car's history. This Mach 1 was originally
a rust-free California car and benefited from a quality
restoration. Documentation includes photographs of some of the
early restoration process, providing valuable insight into the
workmanship and condition of the vehicle throughout the build.
$24,000 + of 2026 rejuvenation receipts are present.
The 1969 Mach 1 remains one of the most recognizable and desirable
Mustangs ever built, and authentic R-Code examples continue to
command strong interest among collectors and enthusiasts. Combining
genuine Cobra Jet heritage, Super Cobra Jet-inspired performance,
modern drivability, and a rust-free foundation, this Mach 1
represents an outstanding opportunity to own a serious piece of
Ford muscle!
