I bought this car in late 2018 as a low mileage “Barn Find”. I was planning to do a full restoration, but I moved out with my job and need to sell it.
This car was built on March 4, 1969, and is an original candy apple red, 4-speed, shaker hood, R-code 428 Cobra Jet
car. It has many original factory parts including, sheet metal, toploader transmission, glass, rear shocks &

I bought this car in late 2018 as a low mileage “Barn Find”. I was planning to do a full restoration, but I moved out with my job and need to sell it.
This car was built on March 4, 1969, and is an original candy apple red, 4-speed, shaker hood, R-code 428 Cobra Jet
car. It has many original factory parts including, sheet metal, toploader transmission, glass, rear shocks &
springs, etc. Original factory paint daubs can be seen on leaf springs & the drive shaft. The block and heads are
not original; there is no VIN on the block which is date coded for May 1969, and the heads are date coded for June
1969. The original intake is date coded at February 4, 1969. It currently has a Hurst shifter. The interior is in
very good condition. The front seats do not have the Mach 1 red stripe insert, but date codes on the seat tags are
correct to the build date of the car. There is no corrosion at the inner fender-shock tower interface as seen on
many vintage Mustangs. While the Marti report does not indicate that the car came from the factory with a tach dash
and Traction-Lok rear-end, it has both; the date code on the tach dash circuit board is correct at January 29,
1969. VINs are present on both front inner fender aprons, window tag, door tag, and toploader transmission. The
rear window louvres are Ford period correct as they have the numbered louvres.
The car runs great
