132628 1969 Ford Mustang RK Motors Classic Cars For Sale

Fear not Ford fans! Even though RK Motors Charlotte has been selling a lot of Corvettes and Camaros lately, we haven't forgotten about the blue oval camp. According to Kevin Marti of Marti Auto Works, this awesome 1969 Mach 1 was bolted together at Fords San Jose assembly plant in February of 1969 and delivered that same month to Rosen Novak Auto Company in Denver Colorado. Originally a Pastel Gray car, it was recently frame up restored to better than factory condition and covered in a glossy coat of Acapulco Blue. Top dead center on the hood of the car is a silver finned shaker scoop that proudly displays chrome 鈥淐obra Jet鈥?emblems on each of its sides. At the edge of that hood, factory chrome hood pins are in excellent shape and complement bright stainless trim around the grille and a showroom fresh plateaued front bumper. Chrome trimmed low beam headlights and crystal clear grille mounted high beam headlights combine with an angled chin spoiler and ridged front fenders to provide a fierce, aggressive look. In the left side of the grille a pristine chrome Mustang emblem features a familiar galloping horse and red, white and blue vertical inlays.

At the sides of the car, stainless rocker moldings parallel the gold Mach 1 stripes and run from just behind the front wheels to just in front of the rear wheels. On the doors, excellent looking chrome door handles sit below body matched racing mirrors to complement stainless drip rails, stainless wipers and straight stainless trim which houses factory correct tinted glass. On the rear quarter panels, attractive deep set quarter scoops sit below new C-pillar mounted chrome and black Mustang emblems and complete front body lines that begin at the leading edges of the front fenders. Out back, a pristine Mach 1 tape stripe borders the top edge of the rear valence to sit above trunk mounted and black inlayed "Mustang" letters. Below the "Mustang" letters you'll find an attractive satin finished and highly detailed fuel cap which features another red white and blue inlayed Mustang emblem and traditional segmented Mustang tail lights. Below those chrome trimmed tail lights, a pristine chrome bumper sits above quad outlet stainless exhaust tips and round chrome trimmed reverse lights that are mounted on the cars roll pan. Fortunately, this car is a lot more than just a pretty body.

Under the blacked-out hood lives a 428 Cobra Jet Ram Air engine that has been restored to its correct factory appearance and cranks out a very conservatively rated 335 horsepower. The engine was fully rebuilt to stock specs during the cars restoration and runs every bit as good as it looks. As you can see, it has been properly coated in Ford Blue paint and includes correct ancillary components and accessories. Up top, a correct 4 barrel carburetor sits under a correct ram air induction system that receives air from the shaker hood scoop. Below the carburetor, chrome valve covers proudly read "Powered By Ford" and feature correct reproduction decals, and a correct points distributor sends power through correct Autolite plug wires. In front of the motor, a correct satin black radiator features correct decals and sends water through correct hoses with replica clamps. Beside that radiator an Autolite Sta-Ful battery is charged by a rebuilt alternator which is driven by a fresh V-belt.

Today, this car is every bit as fast and potent as it was 42 years ago and the engine bay has been completely detailed all the way down to a correct satin black finish and authentic chalk marks. The bottom of the car has been restored to the same high standards as the top of the car. Behind the motor, the cars original 4-speed transmission drives a durable, correctly marked Ford 9 inch rear end with 3.50 gears and a correct Traction-Lok limited slip differential. The silver transmission slips effortlessly through the gears and, like the engine, features accurate and authentic chalk marks. The car's front and rear suspension is 100% correctly marked OEM-grade equipment that includes a front shock tower reinforcement, correct staggered rear shocks and is held together with stainless hardware. Above the suspension, red floor pans appear new, show absolutely no signs of rust or weathering and wear a lot of Acapulco Blue overspray, just as the car would have left the factory.
