Vehicle Details
1969 R Code 428 Cobra Jet Mach 1
I’ve owned the car for about 2 years
The car underwent a full nut n bolt restoration around 2011. Some pictures are shown before and during. There is a grade & appraisal report after the restoration showing it was a full restoration and valued $67,500 in 2011. The Marti report says it was only 1 of 1 with the cars identical options. 5 other Cobra Jets had additional options from this one; for a total of 6. When the car was done, it was sold to a gentleman out of Buna TX, who I purchased it from around early 2023.
I believe it has around 1700 miles since the restoration. Mostly driven to local car shows or hooked up to a trickle charger in the garage, hence the low miles.
There is a Marti report in the pics, but here’s some specs:
Numbers matching and fully rebuilt in 2011 (see appraisal and grade inspection report)
-Factory R Code 428 Cobra Jet
-Factory AC in 1969, that has been upgraded to modern Freon. AC is ice cold
-3 speed automatic transmission
-upgraded stereo
-Global West Subframe connection
-the car was professionally painted Silver during the restoration (originally Acapulco Blue)
-Dakota gauges (I have the original gauges in a box) as well as a brand new set of Autometer style gauges I was going to install, for a more classic look
-the interior has silver (cobra badged) paneling. I was told the wood clock, and wood trim center console is still underneath. They just covered it during the restoration for a different look.
-the car runs amazing when I take it to shows, zero issues since I’ve owned and such low miles since the restoration.
Very very small imperfections here and there over the 14 years since restoration, but that’s me being very nit picky. Everyone thinks it’s a brand new restoration when I talk to people at shows. As you can see from the pics
Things that I will fix before selling:
The car hasn’t been driven on streets for about 4 months. I start it up in the garage every month, but due to sitting, it’s developed a transmission leak around seal (happens when the car sits for long periods, and a small oil leak underneath from the oil plug bolt. I will try to get both fluids changed and resealed soon, but definitely when it’s sold.
