1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 R-Code 428 Cobra Jet Fastback
Striking the perfect balance between originality and restoration, this authentic 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 R-Code Cobra Jet is a must have Muscle Car. Carefully maintained and selectively restored, this fastback retains much of its original character, including some factory-applied details and finishes.
Finished in a sleek black finish with a correct black Mach 1 interior, this car maintains its factory look with iconic styling elements like the Shaker hood, rear window sport slats, front and rear spoilers, and Magnum 500 wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/As. The exterior was refinished as part of a high-quality restoration, while care was taken to preserve the car's original structure and integrity—most notably, much of the original undercoating, still present and intact, a testament to its dry, well-preserved life.
Under the hood lies the storied R-Code 428 Cobra Jet Ram Air V8—one of the most revered big blocks of the era. Factory-rated at 335 horsepower, the 428 CJ was designed with serious racing DNA: high-flow heads, a performance camshaft, and a heavy-duty bottom end were all part of the package. Ford famously underrated these motors, and many enthusiasts estimate real output well north of 400 horsepower. The functional Shaker hood scoop feeds fresh air into the 4-barrel carburetor, giving this Mustang not only extra power but one of the most aggressive looks in muscle car history.
Power is routed through a C6 3-speed automatic transmission to a Ford 9-inch rear axle with 3.50 gears and a Traction-Lok differential. The drivetrain has been serviced and maintained for reliable operation, while a dual MagnaFlow exhaust system adds a deep, aggressive tone that stays true to the car's muscle car roots without compromising drivability.
Inside, this Mach 1 features a largely original black knit vinyl interior, preserved with great care. The high-back bucket seats, woodgrain dash and console, and factory instrumentation reflect the quality and style that helped make the Mach 1 a standout in 1969. While some soft materials have been refreshed for comfort and preservation, the cabin remains highly original overall making it a time capsule for enthusiasts who appreciate authenticity.
The Mach 1 package, introduced in 1969, transformed the Mustang fastback into a serious street performer with visual punch. Unique badging, reflective stripes, and heavy-duty suspension enhancements were all part of the formula. But paired with the R-Code Cobra Jet option, this Mach 1 was elevated into elite muscle car territory.
Well-optioned with air conditioning, power steering, power front disc brakes, and an AM radio, this fastback offers the best of both worlds: the raw excitement of a classic Cobra Jet and the comfort to enjoy it on modern roads.
From its sinister good looks to its Cobra Jet power this 1969 Mustang Mach 1 R-Code is an exceptional example of an iconic muscle car—preserved, respected, and ready to be driven or proudly shown.
