1969 Ford Mustang Super Cobra Jet 428 Why This Car Is Special In 1969 with the 428 Cobra Jet Ford Mustang, Ford had a genuine muscle car in their stable. It had a Ram Air Shaker hood scoop, special striping, and the new-for-'69 styling and was an aggressive car with performance to back up that image. The 428 Super Cobra Jet was developed by Ford's Light Vehicle Powertrain Department and it made the 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 one of the world's fastest cars and was certainly one of the fastest factory stock cars you could own on the street! This 1969 428 Super Cobra Jet we have at Skyway Classics has been correctly restored where needed all the right parts, and is not only a serious investment grade classic, but a very fast and fun driver.

Mechanical Ours Cobra Jet 428 has the vaunted optional R-Code Ram Air 428 cubic inch engine with a 4-barrel that was modestly rated at 335 horsepower @ 5,200 440 lbft @ 3,400 rpm. The 428 CJ's actual power output is reputed to be well north of 400 horse, with its advertised numbers artificially lowered to help keep the insurance companies from jacking up its rates.. 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 detailed shaker scoop. Other components include silver finned valve covers, cast iron manifolds, a high-performance exhaust system, fresh hoses and correct clamps. The CJ spotless engine bay has the correct satin black paint and all of the correct components look fresh from the shock tower brace to the correct decals, vacuum hoses and accessory brackets are there. From the factory, the 428 CJ 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.
