Fast Facts – The Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet
- With its 335 bhp 7.0 liter V8 the Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet was one of the fastest road-legal Mustangs built by Ford up until that point in history.
- Ford only offered the Mach 1 with the “SportsRoof” fastback body, and additions like the black hood, hood pins, and side decals, so that early examples could be easily distinguished from their non-Mach 1 rivals.
- The Mach 1 proved so popular that Ford actually opted to cancel the Mustang GT, as the Mach 1 was out-selling it almost 15:1.
- The first generation of Mach 1 production ran from 1969 until 1970, these cars are now the most desirable to collectors and they’ve been the key influence of the succeeding generations of Mach 1s.
The interior is in great condition with black vinyl seats with red accent inlays and black/red carpet. Even the original rim-blow steering wheel and rare center console are there.
1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet is a restored speedy classic with a lot of “Wow” factor. So don’t let one of the sharpest and most interesting SCJ Mach 1s ever slip away.
