This CJ has a correct and glossy coat of Black Jade Green urethane. Once the cars clearcoat shell was buffed to a brilliant shine, trademark flat black was re-applied to its awesome shaker hood and bright gold Mach 1 tape stripes were perfectly aligned on its fuselage and rear valence.It is a classic collection of straight and flat body panels, perfectly ridged character lines, and narrow panel gaps that combine to create a show worthy muscle car which presents a better than factory appearance.
The front end of the car has chrome trimmed low beam headlights and the grille mounted high beam headlights combine with an angled chin spoiler. The chrome Mustang emblem features a familiar galloping horse and red, white and blue vertical inlays; and at the edges of that grille, factory chrome hood pins, and nice front bumper.
Under the blacked-out hood the original 428 cubic inch Cobra Jet Ram Air engine has been completely rebuilt to its correct factory specifications and made more potent with updated parts. This was already one of the hottest muscle car engines ever created. Ford's big block 428 was advertised at a conservatively rated 335 horsepower, but in reality put out way more!At the top of the engine, a Holley 4-barrel carburetor sits under a correct ram air induction system which draws fresh air from the cars silver detailed shaker scoop. Other components include silver finned valve covers, cast iron manifolds, a high performance exhaust system, decaled satin black radiator sends water, fresh hoses and correct clamps. The CJ spotless engine bay has the correct satin black paint and all of the correct components from the fresh power brake booster and silver shock tower brace to the correct decals, vacuum hoses and accessory brackets are there.From the factory, the 428CJ was treated to a set of deep-breathing heads from the 427 (2.09/1.65-inch valves, combustion chamber volumes between 73 and 75 cc, larger intake and exhaust ports, 427 valve springs and dampers), a 735-cfm Holley four-barrel carb, and freer-breathing exhaust manifolds, along with beefier connecting rods. The 428CJ's actual power output is reputed to be well north of 400 hp, with its advertised numbers artificially lowered to help keep the insurance companies from jacking up its rates.
The rest of this Mach 1 has been restored to the same high standards as its exterior and engine compartment. It has a Top Loader 4-speed close ratio manual transmission, a durable Ford 9 inch rear end with stout 3.50 gears and Traction-Lok limited slip differential.
The suspension has all been rebuilt and the optional power steering combines with optional power front disc and rear drums brakes to make it ride and stop great. All that power hits the pavement with 14 inch factory steel wheels, chrome wheel covers and a correct set of F70-14 Goodyear Polyglas tires.The ORIGINAL interior features the black Clarion Knit vinyl with Hi-Back buckets seats with red accents. The dash has working gauges which include a factory clock, and features wood grain trim. The radio works as it should and the chrome shifter is topped by a correct wood finished Mustang shift knob in the correct wood trimmed console. Correct seat belts, chrome accessory knobs, and door panels finish out the interior. A completely restored trunk includes a correct trunk mat and correct lid decals.As far as collectability goes, Black Jade proved a popular color for '69, but it lasted only one year on the Mustang color chart. Therefore, it is a very valuable shade of a very collectible Cobra Jet Mustang!If you want a museum quality CJ, but one you can still drive and enjoy, come see and buy this one at Carlynn Clean Classics today.
