1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 428 Super Cobra Jet

Description

In 1969, Ford introduced the Mustang Mach 1, instantly placing itself among the most hallowed names in its long history. This high-performance variant was available with a 351, 390, or a 428 cu-in V8 engine, housed in the sleek SportsRoof fastback coupe. The Mach 1 was outfitted with a pin-locked hood featuring a scoop finished in matte black, competition suspension, chrome exhaust tips and gas filler cap, and was often specified with a louvered rear window. As a replacement for the GT models, the Mach 1 became a fan favorite due to its blend of straight-line acceleration and NASCAR-inspired handling. The popularity of the Mach 1 was so strong that the GT name did not return to the Mustang lineup until 1982.
