Vehicle Description
A real-deal 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is always a car to get excited
about. But when it has been given a nut-and-bolt restoration to
make sure that the rest of the coupe is just as genuine and
original as its numbers-matching 428 Cobra Jet V8, well then, you
can instantly understand the difference between showing up to the
car show and winning it all. And yes, the 24,000-mile odometer is
actual!
One look at the Marti Report, and it will show you everything you
want to see. This sportsroof Mustang is a 63 code Mach 1 in T code
Candyapple Red paint with a blacked out hood and that bold Cobra
Jet shaker. Proper gold Mach 1 stripes on the side and rear add a
touch of upper-class sportiness. And speaking of class, the
condition of all the brightwork from the bumpers to the stylized
steel wheels is just downright smooth. But above all, the reason
why people will stop and stare at this coupe is because of its
level of quality. This is one of those fantastic lost cars that
spent three decades in storage before going though the kind of
restoration you see at Pebble Beach. Today that means an ultra-low
mileage coupe that gets all the details right. It has the kind of
panel alignment that will make people wonder if even it looked this
good when it left the San Jose factory over 45 years ago.
You'll enjoy reviewing the copy of the original window sticker
because it will show you the long list of options still in this
interior. It starts with the comfortable high back bucket seats
with a sporty red line running across the neckline. As you step
inside, you'll notice the exceptional condition of the carpets,
door panels, and headliner. The wood appearance on the Rim-Blow
deluxe steering wheel coordinates with the paneling on the dash,
doors, and center console, all of which all adds to the upscale
ambiance of the Mach 1. Pay special attention to the level of
quality on the materials used in this restoration. You might have
sat in Mustangs before, but this one feels like a time machine back
to the summer of '69.
This is an R-code Mustang, which means the big block 428 cubic-inch
V8 with ram air is under the hood. It's not just that motor looks
fantastically authentic down to the correct stamping and chalk
makes, but also this is ultra-desirable because you're looking at
the original numbers-matching powerplant. You already know the
engine bay could win awards on its own just by its presentation,
but really take some time to look over the details in the
undercarriage photos. Every aspect is crisp and correct right down
to the correct red oxide protection paint (yup, you'll be carrying
around a mirror to put under this one.) But more than just for
showing off, a Cobra Jet Mustang is built to for those who love to
drive. Engines from this era were famously underrated, so the
impressive 335 hp advertised by the factory was really pushing a
mind-blowing 400+ hp. It's mated to a stout Ford C6 three-speed
automatic transmission, and it is sent to the road via Ford's
nine-inch rear end running a versatile 3.50 ratio. The combination
of the Mach 1 package and the big engine further sweetened the deal
by automatically getting upgraded to Ford's HD competition
suspension. This beefed up the front spindles, shocks, shock
towers, and anti-roll bar to make sure that this Mustang could
handle the extra muscle. Ford even upgraded the package with the
sport exhaust with quad tips (everything can be verified in the
detailed Marti report included with the car.) The cherry on top is
that all this power can be kept in check thanks to the optional
front disc brakes.
Complete with all the right paperwork, including the owner's
manual, title docs, Elite Marti Report, and window sticker, this is
the ultimate collector edition of the ultimate vintage Mustang. A
low-mileage, numbers-matching 428 Mach 1 is just as rare and
exceptional as you think it is, so don't miss your opportunity.
