1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet – Tremec 5-Speed, Holley Sniper EFI, Global West Suspension, Fully Built Driver
Presented here is a striking and heavily upgraded 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 that combines classic American muscle aesthetics with thoughtful, performance-driven modern enhancements. Originally assembled as a true Mach 1 and finished in Candy Apple Red with a 390ci V8 and C6 automatic, this Mustang has since undergone an extensive restoration and transformation that elevates both its appearance and mechanical capability. At the heart of the build is a thunderous 428ci Cobra Jet V8 mated to a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission—backed by upgrades across the suspension, braking, fueling, and interior systems—creating a turnkey street machine with vintage presence and contemporary performance.
Powertrain & Mechanical
Under the hood resides a 428 cubic-inch Cobra Jet V8, installed under previous ownership, and upgraded with performance-focused components including Edelbrock aluminum Performer RPM cylinder heads, an Edelbrock RPM intake manifold, long-tube headers, and finned aluminum valve covers. A Holley Sniper 2 electronic fuel injection system brings reliable cold starts and tunable fueling, while an Edelbrock water pump ensures efficient cooling. The seller reports the wiring was simplified during the EFI installation, and the heater core and alternator were replaced. Power is sent through a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission with a McLeod clutch and flywheel setup, all housed in a modified tunnel with a balanced driveshaft and reinforced rear inner axle seals.
The car breathes through a custom dual exhaust system and rides on a highly capable suspension setup consisting of a Global West front end with Koni shocks, a four-link rear suspension with QA1 adjustable coilovers, and multiple frame reinforcements to keep things tight and planted. Power rack-and-pinion steering provides confident control, and stopping duties are handled by four-wheel disc brakes with Wilwood calipers at the front and a replaced brake booster and rear pads. This Mustang is not only fast in a straight line—it’s built to carve.
Exterior
The body was completely disassembled during the restoration and refinished in a bold shade of red accented with black Mach 1 striping. Though originally ordered in Candy Apple Red, the repaint retains a faithful, high-impact presentation true to the car’s muscle car roots. Visual enhancements include a factory-style hood scoop with 428 Cobra Jet callouts, front and rear spoilers, grille-mounted fog lamps, hood pins, and rear window louvers. Sequential LED taillights add a modern touch to the classic rear profile. It rides on staggered 18″ American Racing alloy wheels wrapped in performance-spec Nitto tires.
Interior
Inside, this Mach 1 continues its theme of restomod functionality. Procar bucket seats offer improved bolstering and comfort over stock, while a custom center console with cup holders and a Hurst shifter adds both practicality and performance appeal. The cabin features a Grant GT steering wheel, carbon-look dash trim, and Classic Instruments gauges for vital readouts. An Alpine CD stereo provides audio entertainment, though the seller notes only the dashboard vents are functional and the fuel-level gauge is currently inaccurate.
Documentation & Mileage
Approximately 9,000 miles have been added since the build was completed, with around 2,300 miles logged under current ownership. The car is offered with a Standard Marti Report detailing its original production specs, as well as service and modification records documenting the build. It is titled in Texas under the seller’s name and carries a “VIN Certification Waived” remark.
Summary
With a big-block 428 Cobra Jet under the hood, a 5-speed manual transmission, fuel injection, upgraded suspension, and a visually aggressive presence, this 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is the embodiment of restomod muscle. It delivers the soul of a vintage fastback combined with the modern reliability and handling refinements of a purpose-built street car. Whether you’re looking for a weekend canyon carver, a cars-and-coffee standout, or a powerfully built showstopper with the muscle to back it up, this Mach 1 checks every box.
