Vehicle Description
This 1969 Mustang Sportsroof is a base trim model (63A) built in
San Jose as an R-code 428 Cobra Jet with Ram Air, C6 automatic and
3.50 axle ratio. As a base car, there is no faux Mach 1 style
woodgrain overlay surrounding the very rare factory installed
tachometer cluster or distracting the passenger view which gives
the interior a contemporary look. Because this is a factory CJ, it
has all of the same mechanical upgrades that the CJ Mach 1 received
including competition suspension (spings, front sway bar, shocks),
power front disc brakes and larger rear drums, reinforced shock
towers and reinforced export braces, 9-inch rear axle, heavy duty
cooling, fast ratio 16:1 steering (power assisted with PS fluid
cooler in this car), and 14x6 styled steel wheels with F70x14 wide
oval belted tires. The base trim model has a monotone exterior,
deleting the blackout hood treatment, side/rear stripes and
moldings of a Mach 1 but still has its original shaker hood scoop
topping the Cobra Jet.
Documentation is very important and with this 1969 Mustang, the
original build sheet and Deluxe Marti report and a very large
amount of receipts and records are contained in a documents book.
That doc book also contains additional items authenticating
originality; pictures that show casting dates and matching assembly
plant build tags on transmission and axle to the build sheet. Marti
report is included that tells us as one of the 465 Cobra Jet
non-Mach 1's, when options are added, it becomes 1 of 1, as
originally built. This 1969 Was just freshened with a full repaint,
although not in the original Black Jade with Ivy Gold interior, the
Red base coat clear coat exterior is a very close match to
contemporary Race Red with Black Standard Trim Interior which was
also freshened with new carpet and complete underlayment. As well,
the trunk has been cleaned and resprayed and includes a correct
spare wheel/tire. To Keep this 47-year-old car running and
enjoyable to drive, all maintenance and wear items have been
addressed. Cooling, brakes, fuel, power steering, ignition,
suspension, lighting, and radio have all received a rebuilt and or
upgrade. To modernize the driving experience, the front suspension
has been upgraded to a stealthy Bilstein coilover system designed
and built by a dedicated classic Mustang-only suspension shop that
proves his systems on the track and street. This Pony has the right
stance, nose down with classic chin spoiler, 17" 5-spoke wheels and
235/45 front and 255/45 rear tires filling the big wheel arches. It
stands out in a crowd, is comfortable to drive, has original
details, original cobra jet power, and benefits from functional
upgrades. This is a Pony you do not want to miss, please call or
