This standout classic will rumble into its next owner's garage with a Marti report on board to confirm its authenticity, as well as a build sheet to document both the work and investment that went... into attaining its excellence. It's so clean from front to back! This '69 has that precisely finished, period correct presence that so many restorers aspire to and never quite achieve. It's been refreshed in its original paint scheme, with its white backdrop appearing exceptionally shiny and the black accent over the properly scooped hood looking as if it was just applied. This is an exterior that stands up well to close scrutiny - in addition to its eye-catching, skillfully applied paint, the bumpers both fore and aft seem outright new, its brightwork is in excellent condition and the assortment of badging on display here -from the signature running horse on the front grille back to its counterpart at the center of the taillight panel - is in top form. This restoration was certainly a job very well done. Inside the doors, the vinyl interior has been thoroughly refurbished in its original black color and configuration. The hallmarks of a careful, detail-oriented restoration are plentiful in this cockpit - the front buckets and rear bench seat wear well-fitted covers that haven't even had the opportunity yet to develop any signs of wear and straddle a showroom-worthy center console and the carpet below them is flawless. Freshly applied woodgrain accents take their place throughout the cabin to up its level even further. The factory gauges residing in the instrument panel all function as intended, as does the analog clock over the glove box - and the dash pad running over the top is as fresh as can be. A period correct audio experience comes from the factory AM/FM/8-track stereo that teams with a pair of door mounted speakers. The trunk area is well-prepped, with carpet lining its floor and a neatly covered full size spare inside. The uncompromising authenticity of this vintage Mustang carries over into its engine compartment, where a period correct 428 cubic inch CJ V8 is on hand to provide plenty of power to make for exciting times behind the wheel. It's a great looking motor, dressed with a Cobra II air intake over its 4 barrel carb, with a chrome air conditioning condenser added that contrasts nicely with the blue engine block and heads. The drivetrain on hand here is in top running form - in addition to the vitality of the engine, the 3-speed automatic C6 transmission sitting behind it shifts smoothly and the 9 inch Ford rear end is so revered for its sturdiness that it finds its way onto countless streetrods. Smooth power steering makes for easy maneuverability, while power brakes - with discs up front - bring the set of 14" stock wheels wrapped with BF Goodrich T/A radials to a stop quickly and easily. Just as you'd likely expect from such a meticulously reinvigorated classic, the undercarriage is exceptional. It's a sterling representative of its special edition take on the model and this 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet would be a prized centerpiece of any enthusiast's garage. Call today!
