1969 Mustang Mach 1 428 Super Cobra Jet 4 Speed Drag Pack
Ford delivered on the promise of a rejuvenated, redesigned Mustang in 1969, offering a wide choice of engines and a brand new model, the Mach 1, which took over from the GT. Taking advantage of both the Boss 302’s handling and a total of five engines larger than the 302, the Mach 1 attracted over 72,000 new Mustang buyers.
The most powerful production engine was the R-code 428 Super Cobra Jet rated at 335 horsepower, which was automatically triggered by choosing the Drag Pack 3.90 or 4.30 rear end. Breathing through a new Shaker hood scoop, the SCJ propelled the new Mustang to 13-second quarter mile times.
This beautifully restored 1969 Mach 1 is a textbook example of one of the wildest Mustangs ever built. Dressed in its factory original and gorgeous Candyapple Red exterior paint with Gold side-piping and Black interior, it comes with a Deluxe Marti Report listing two codes that place this car higher on the ladder than almost all other Mustangs: the W-code 4.30 Drag Pack with Traction Loc, and the R-code 428/335 HP Super Cobra Jet V-8 stuffed with NASCAR-grade internals, with a Top-Loader 4-speed for maximum fun.
Matching Numbers Engine and Drive-Train. Professional Concours Restoration. Documented with the Deluxe Marti Report. This head turner was sold new in Cherryville, NC at Marvin S. Beam, Inc. on January 3, 1969. The car was actually built on December 13, 1968 – three days behind schedule. Only 2 changes from the factory conditions were made during restoration to improve drivability – first a Hurst shifter was installed along with a 3.50 rear gear.
This rare SCJ Drag Pack Mach 1 invites close inspection, revealing quality and attention to detail worthy of its value as a milestone Mustang.

About Mustang
The Ford Mustang is an automobile manufactured by the Ford Motor Company. It was initially based on the second generation North American Ford Falcon, a compact car. Introduced early on April 17, 1964, as a "1964½" model, the 1965 Mustang was the automaker's most successful launch since the Model A. The model is Ford's third oldest nameplate in production and has undergone several transformations to its current fifth generation. The Mustang created the "pony car" class of American automobiles sports car-like coupes with long hoods and short rear decks and gave rise to competitors such as GM's Chevrolet Camaro, AMC's Javelin, and Chrysler's revamped Plymouth Barracuda. It also inspired coupés such as the Toyota Celica and Ford Capri, which were exported to the United States. Ford and several third party companies offered many modified versions of the highly popular Mustang in order to cater to specific portions of the marketplace outside of the mainstream. High performance enthusiasts seek more powerful, sharper handling, sports cars, while collectors and purists seek limited production and alternate or nostalgic styling, such as is commonly found on many commemmorative editions. Still, others were made purely for experimental concepts such as the McLauren M81 (turbo) and SVO, which later influenced production model design. Most variants include both performance upgrades, and unique cosmetic treatments that are typically minimal to maintain the familiar appearance of a stock Mustang. Although most of these Mustang variants were aimed at enthusiasts, a notable exception was the Special Service Package (or SSP), which was designed specifically for law enforcement.
