The seller offers for sale a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 R-Code, a true American muscle icon powered by a 7.0-liter V8 Cobra Jet engine paired with an automatic C6 gearbox. This car underwent an optical and mechanical restoration, down to bare metal, with nearly all original components restored rather than replaced. The 428CJ engine was rebuilt with forged pistons and a mild camshaft while retaining correct heads, carburetor, and date-coded parts. The rear axle, driveshaft, and undercarriage were refinished with factory-correct coatings and markings. The transmission was carefully refurbished, with factory writing preserved under clear coat. The body is finished in authentic paintwork, while the interior retains originality, with new seat covers included but not yet installed. The car starts reliably, shows no smoke, the gearbox shifts smoothly, and no unusual noises are present. Both power steering and disc brakes are fitted. With Swedish registration and documented restoration photos and videos, this Mach 1 is presented in outstanding condition.
The Ford Mustang Mach 1 debuted in 1969 as a high-performance package positioned above the standard Mustang GT, quickly becoming a symbol of late-1960s muscle car culture. Distinguished by aggressive styling, shaker hood options, and powerful V8 engines, the Mach 1 embodied Ford’s commitment to performance and style. The R-Code specification denoted the legendary 428 Cobra Jet engine, one of the most respected powerplants of the muscle era, known for immense torque and quarter-mile dominance. Today, restored examples are highly collectible, offering both nostalgic appeal and thrilling driving experiences. The combination of raw performance, distinctive looks, and strong cultural legacy ensures the Mach 1 R-Code remains among the most sought-after classic Mustangs.
