I just love it when I find a vehicle that has ALL of the features that you look for when you are searching for an investment grade classic car. Such was the case when I acquired this absolutely gorgeous, all numbers matching, and rotisserie restored 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 428 Super Cobra-Jet Drag Pack 4-Speed car! Featured in arguably the most beautiful color combination of (Code F5) Gulfstream Aqua wrapped around a beautiful (Code 3WA) White Clarion Knit Vinyl interior, this 鈥?9 Mach 1 428 SCJ car is an absolute show stopper! Powered by its original numbers matching 429ci Super Cobra-Jet motor & original numbers matching 4-Speed Close Ratio Transmission, and rotisserie restored to MCA Gold quality standards, this Mach 1 SCJ simply has it all folks! According to the Deluxe Marti Report, this rare Q-Code Mach 1 is one of (2) identical twins that were shipped to Castner Ford Sales Inc. in Wahiawa Hawaii, and it is also one of the very rare 鈥楬eater Delete鈥?cars.
Factory options include: 428 SCJ Q-Code motor, 3.91 Traction-Lok Axle (Drag Pack), Power Front Disc Brakes, Sport Deck Rear Seat, Heater & Defroster Delete, Tinted Glass-Complete, F70-14 Wide Oval Tires, Deluxe Belts & Warning Light. This car has full ownership history and even retains the original Hawaii license plates. The gorgeous color combination creates the perfect tropical look, which makes it very easy to imagine this car parked on a beautiful beach in Hawaii. A complete nut & bolt rotisserie restoration was performed a few years back and the final results are simply outstanding! All of the original rust-free sheet metal (including floors & torque boxes) is laser straight all of the way around the car, and the factory correct Gulfstream Aqua paint is absolutely gorgeous, w/ a deep lustrous shine. This color has to be seen in person to truly appreciate how beautiful it is. In contrast w/ the White bucket-seat interior, matte black sport hood, and gold stripes, it is one of the finest looking color combinations that I have ever seen on a classic Mustang.
All chrome & stainless trim is in show quality condition throughout. Sitting on the original Chrome Styled Steel Wheels wrapped w/ Goodyear Polyglas F70-14 tires, this gorgeous Mach 1 looks like it just rolled off of the assembly line. When you open up the driver鈥檚 door and slide into the beautiful White Clarion knit Vinyl Hi Back Bucket Seat interior, you can鈥檛 help but feel like it鈥檚 1969 all over again! All interior features are factory correct w/ concours touches throughout. All original gauges, lights, blinkers, radio, etc., are in perfect working order. Please look closely at the photos to see what a beautiful job was done during the extensive restoration process. The original numbers matching 428 SCJ motor is linked the original numbers matching close-ratio 4-Speed manual transmission, which feeds power to the original 3.91 Traction-Lok rear axle (Drag Pack). This 428 SCJ Mach 1 runs & drives beautifully in every way and has loads of power & torque! The close-ratio 4-Speed transmission shifts nice & smooth, pulling hard through all four gears, and the factory Power Front Disc Brakes help bring you to a smooth stop after you get going. There is no way getting around the fact that this is a stunningly beautiful classic muscle car that creates a crowd everywhere it goes. If you don鈥檛 like attention this is not the car for you! An investment grade classic muscle car if there ever was one, this 鈥?9 Mustang Mach 1 SCJ car will only appreciate in value in the coming years, that鈥檚 a fact. Whether you are looking for an investment for the future, or simply want a perfect classic car that will win First Place trophies at any national car event that you decide to enter, this is your car!
In the case of the Boss 351, this second line should read 3L91--that's 391 for the ratio, with an "L" inserted for the Traction-Lok. These numbers will be followed by the date and plant codes. The standard suspension for 1971 Mustangs consisted of independent, unequal-length control arms, coil springs, angle-poised ball joints, tubular shocks, a link-type anti-roll bar up front, and a live axle with variable-rate semi-elliptical leaf springs and tubular shocks out back. All Boss 351s were equipped with Ford's Competition Suspension, which consisted of heavier-duty springs, shock absorbers and front and rear anti-roll bars, and staggered shock absorbers in the rear. Any car supplied with the chrome Magnum 500 wheels also required the Competition Suspension. Magnum 500s were optional on the Boss 351, with the standard wheel being a 15x7 stamped steel wheel with hubcaps and trim rings. All Mustangs shared a dual hydraulic system with a dual master cylinder. While the basic setup for most models was a drum at each wheel and no power assist, the Boss 351 featured 11.3-inch discs up front with floating calipers, 10x2-inch drums in the back, and vacuum assist.
