LaFontaine Classic Cars is proud to offer an outstanding example of one of the most desirable high-performance Mustangs of the muscle-car era: this 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 428 Super Cobra Jet Drag Pack 4-Speed. Built at Fords Metuchen, New Jersey assembly plant, this Mach 1 left the factory finished in Candyapple Red with the signature black-out hood treatment over a Black Clarion Knit/Vinyl Mach 1 Hi-Back Bucket Seat interior. Its Marti Report documents the R-code 428-4V Cobra Jet Ram Air engine, close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission, and highly desirable V-code 3.91 Traction-Lok rear axle. The 3.91 axle was part of the Drag Pack configuration that brought with it Fords heavy-duty Super Cobra Jet specification!

What makes this particular Mach 1 especially compelling is its remarkable long-term history and documentation. The original owner purchased the Mustang on September 10, 1970 for $2,695 and retained it for more than five decades. Service and repair records document the car through the years, followed by an extensive restoration that began in approximately January 2014. The roughly four-year project was completed by a restoration shop in State College, Pennsylvania in January 2018. Sadly, the longtime owner passed away shortly before the restoration was completed, and his family preserved the finished Mustang in storage until April 2022. The car subsequently went to Illinois in 2023 and is now being offered for its next caretaker.

The restoration presents beautifully today, with the Candyapple Red paint, Mach 1 graphics and black interior creating the unmistakable appearance that made the 1969 Mach 1 an icon. More importantly, this car retains the core components collectors want to see in a serious Super Cobra Jet Mustang. It is equipped with a correct 9A9-dated 428 engine, RUG-AE2 close-ratio 4-speed transmission, and V-code 3.91 Traction-Lok rear axle with original tag. The result is exactly what a properly sorted 428 SCJ should be: a muscular, responsive and engaging Mustang with the sound and performance to match its appearance.

Documentation is a major part of this car's story. In addition to its Marti Report, the Mustang is accompanied by an extensive collection of service and maintenance records, historical paperwork, and restoration photographs chronicling its history and refurbishment. It also retains several particularly desirable pieces of original documentation, including the original warranty card, original body buck tag, and original keys in their dealer sleeve. The VIN identification and door data correspond with the Marti documentation, further supporting the identity and configuration of the car.

With its 428 Super Cobra Jet power, Ram Air induction, Drag Pack equipment, close-ratio 4-speed, V-code 3.91 Traction-Lok rear axle, desirable Candyapple Red presentation and exceptional ownership history, this Mach 1 checks many of the boxes serious collectors look for. Equally at home on the show field or being exercised on the road, it is a beautifully restored, well-documented example backed by more than five decades of history. After spending the overwhelming majority of its life with its original owner and family, this 1969 Mach 1 428 Super Cobra Jet Drag Pack is ready for its next chapter.
