Offered for sale is my 1969 ford mustang 428 cobra jet Mach 1. This Mach 1 is equipped with the r code 428 cobra jet engine backed by a close ratio toploader 4 speed transmission and a 3.50 traction lok 31 spline nodular rear end. This is a nicely equipped car and is optioned with power disc brakes and power steering, tinted glass, factory tach, fold down rear seat, visibility group and AM/FM cassette stereo radio. Additional owner added options include front and rear spoilers and window slats. The car rides on 15 inch Magnum 500 wheels with BF Goodrich P215/65R15 T/A radials. The odometer reads 05520 and assumed to be 105520 however that is not able to be verified.
The engine was represented by the previous owner to be the original factory installed unit. The block is not VIN stamped which is typical with Metuchen built cars. The date stamped on the block reads 8J27 which corresponds to the car's build date. Per previous owner statements the engine was rebuilt in the mid 1990's and retains its stock bore and factory pistons. The engine is outfitted with a Holley 4150 750 cfm carb with manual choke and is retains its original factory shaker assembly. The oil pump and fuel pump have been replaced as a preventive measure to ensure reliability for long drives. A factory windage tray was installed to decrease turbulence around the crankshaft and oil pan. The ignition has been upgraded to a MSD 6A electronic ignition with the module mounted out of sight under the fender well to maintain a factory appearance. Original cast iron exhaust manifolds connect to an original 2 1/4 inch H pipe which feeds into a 2 1/2 inch custom exhaust with correct rolled edge tips.
The transmission is the correct big spline close ratio toploader 4 speed. The transmission tag reads RUG AE2/011061 which is correct for the 1969 428 CJ. The trans is currently equipped with a Hurst Competition Plus shifter.
The rear end is the original 9 inch housing with the 31 spline nodular center section and staggered shocks. The rear was upgraded to a traction lok by the previous owner and still retains its 3.50 ratio.
The body appears to retain its original sheet metal and under body panels. There is no evidence of rust or body damage. All frame rails and aprons appear undisturbed, evidencing no buckled or straightened areas. Exterior stainless trim and chrome is in excellent condition. It is believed the car underwent a restoration in the 1990's and the paint is very presentable with a smooth finish and high gloss. There are a few stone chips present from normal use which have been touched up. The underside is painted body color and appears to have been done with a texture paint to resist stone chips.
The interior was restored at the time of the restoration. The carpet appears to be a Ford service replacement which was still available at the time as opposed to the cheap looking repro carpets currently offered. The seats have been recently re-upholstered with TMI seat covers. The woodgrain and bright work around the gauges is excellent and the dash pad is in excellent shape with no cracks. All equipment including horn, gauges, radio, tach and interior lights are in working order. The truck contains a high quality speckled mat with a spare tire, jack and proper hardware

How the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor became a reality
Wed, 01 May 2013The camouflaged Ford F-150 SVT Raptor prototype captured above blazing its way across the desert during a test run left company engineers giggling in amazement, reveals Jamal Hameedi in a new Autoweek video. Ford's global performance vehicle chief engineer, accompanied by senior exterior designer Bruce Williams, sat down with the publication to discuss the concept and development of the automaker's super off-road F-150.
Designing a high-performance pickup in 2008, right when the cost of gasoline was going through the roof, seemed insane at the time, but the team pushed forward with the innovative vehicle regardless. The interview includes plenty of Ford B-roll footage as visual candy, and the conversations include discussions about exterior design, ride comfort, anti-lock brake tuning, suspension engineering, weight reduction and why it was necessary to make the Raptor visually different than Ford's standard F-150. The model's origin story is very interesting, and you can learn more about it by watching the video below.
'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia
Fri, Jan 16 2015These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.

Ford to auction Mustang Cobra Jet prototype for charity [w/video]
Mon, 16 Sep 2013Prototypes developed by major automakers typically remain in said company's custody, but every once in a while, one trickles out into private hands. And that's just what we have here. Ford is donating a one-of-a-kind factory prototype for the 2014 Mustang Cobra Jet that will be auctioned off later this month by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Powered by a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 mated to a T4 competition gearbox, this rare Cobra Jet prototype includes a wheelie bar, chromoly roll cage, Weld wheels, three-link rear suspension, racing brakes, 9-inch rear axle and more. It's painted in a unique satin orange with reflective gray striping scheme, bears the serial number 2014 BJMS CJXX1 and is fully ready for NHRA competition on the drag strip.
To be offered with no reserve on Saturday, September 28, 2013, the Cobra Jet prototype's winning bidder will also receive tutelage at Roy Hill's Drag Racing School in Sophia, NC, along with tours of the Ford Product Development Center, Ford Racing headquarters and Ford Design Studios with Mustang chief engineer Dave Pericak. Scope out the video and details below for what could be the ultimate Mustang experience for a good cause.
