Please contact us for more information. The Ford Mustang Mach 1 was a performance model of the Ford Mustang that was introduced in August 1968 as a 1969 model. The newly restyled 1969 Mustang had two bodystyles, and the Mach 1 package was only available on the fastback version. The Mach 1 title adorned performance styled Mustang offerings until the end of the Mustang II in 1978. Dearborn's fight to shed its also-ran image got a boost when the Mach 1 moved into the starting gate. Here was a Mustang that looked the part of a modern pony muscle car, and in 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet livery, it ran like one. Mustang was restyled for '69, gaining 3.8 inches of body length -- all ahead of the front wheels -- and about 140 pounds of curb weight. The flowing lines looked right in new Mach 1 livery. This was the mainstream performance version. It came standard with a 351-cid V-8, but star of the stable was the optional 428-cid Cobra Jet. Essentially the same V-8 that put Ford muscle on the map in the 1968 1/2 Cobra Jet Mustang, it came in three states of tune for '69. The base version without Ram Air cost $224; $133 more bought the fresh-air induction system, which this year used a new "shaker" hood in which a scoop mounted to the air cleaner protruded through a hole in the hood and vibrated ominously with the engine. A third version triggered by the $155 Drag-Pack option was the 428 Super Cobra Jet Ram Air. It used the shaker scoop, plus a modified crankshaft and stronger connecting rods for better high-rpm durability, as well as an engine oil cooler that decreased lubricant temperature by 30 degrees. The Drag Pack came with limited-slip 3.91:1 or 4.30:1 cogs and excluded air conditioning. All versions used a four-speed or Ford's improved SelectShift automatic. And all were underrated at 335 bhp. This was the Mustang Ford fans had waited for -- cheaper than a Boss 429, less temperamental than a Boss 302, and a force anywhere fast cars gathered. Presented is a 1969 Ford Mustang, "The Heartbeat Stops Here" that is a Mach 1, 428 SCJ (R-Code) with Drag Pack 4:30 Gears. It has only 58,388 original miles and is offered by only the third owner since it was built in Dearborn, Michigan on July 14, 1969. The SCJ came with C-6 Cruise-O-Matic transmission and tinted Glass and tachometer. It is finished in Raven Black on the exterior as well as on interior. The body and interior are in excellent condition. It has been kept in a heated garage and in the last eight years of ownership it has been driven only 2,811 miles. It is documented with a Deluxe Marti Report.
