1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet
Introduced in 1969, the Mustang Mach 1 transformed Ford’s pony car into a genuine muscle car heavyweight. At its heart was the fearsome R-Code 428 Cobra Jet Ram Air V8 – officially rated at 335hp but widely acknowledged to produce far more – paired with heavy-duty driveline components and aggressive styling cues. The Mach 1 not only ruled the street but also left an indelible mark on American muscle car culture.
This example is a genuine R-Code Mach 1, finished in its original Lime Gold Metallic with a blacked-out hood, bonnet pin latches and deluxe black vinyl/knit high-back interior. It retains its matching-numbers 428 Cobra Jet V8 and 4-speed close-ratio Hurst-shifted manual transmission, backed by a 3.50 diff and staggered rear shocks. Verified by its Marti Report, it is one of just 202 built in Lime Gold, with this particular specification believed to be unique worldwide.
The car has undergone a meticulous nut-and-bolt restoration, with no detail overlooked. Restored in Australia, it sits proudly on 15-inch Magnum 500 chrome wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich T/A radials. Inside, the deluxe interior is beautifully presented, while the engine bay and boot remain in outstanding, factory-correct condition. Accompanied by its Marti Report and a folder of receipts, this Mach 1 is an exceptionally well-documented and preserved example.
The Mach 1 Cobra Jet was Ford’s answer to the horsepower wars of the late 1960s, and it quickly became an icon of both the street and strip. Its aggressive styling and blistering performance made it a favourite in movies and TV shows, while its reputation at the drag strip cemented its place among the most legendary American muscle cars. Today, the R-Code 428 Cobra Jet Mach 1 stands as one of the most collectible Mustangs ever produced.
