1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 428 Super Cobra Jet R Code Drag Pack one of the Rarest

1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 428 Super Cobra Jet R Code with "W"

Overview:

This is one of the rarest Mustangs there is. It is a 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Super Cobra Jet 428 "4V" "R Code" Drag Pack, am Air. There were only 64 built with SCJ built with Detroit locker rear total, nd this is an Automatic so I think the number may be 10-15 that were built. I have owned it for 20 years and it has spent most of that time in storage waiting restoration. The colors are White with Black Deluxe interior. Automatic Drag Pack Car.

The car was complete and running when I took it out of storage a few months ago. I was going to do a limited restoration so I could drive it and do a few shows next spring. This is a car that I did not pay much attention to when I bought it, o I started the process. Long story short, ue to illness I cannot finish the car. I am selling it as i, ith most parts to complete a limited restoration. Club members have told me to see it to someone who will do a complete restoration of the car. This car is well worth it do to its rarity. As I mentioned this car deserves a complete rotisserie, ut I do not have the ability to do so. I have sourced a complete correct drive train for the car what I will forward the info to new buyer for them to purchase. New drive train is not included with this auction.

Prices are increasing Hagerty values a 1970 SCJ model at $116,000 - $50,000. This pricing does not take into account the rarity of my car and the options originally in this car. This car is a "W" code. Mustang Club of NJ puts this car in show condition over $140,000.

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:

As I mentioned, have owned this car for over 20 years. It has been in storage waiting for the time when I was going to restore it to its full glory. This was not going to be a full rotisserie restoration, just wanted the car to be a fun driver and keep it in good condition until I could afford a full rotisserie the car did not need this so much of the original car was left untouched. Rails truck boxes were all in excellent condition. Floors were replaced a while ago. New Chrome was added when needed. Magnum 500 were added to the car which were not original. Some changes were made to the car for performance, hat will be listed later. The car still has the original Buck Tag still in place.

Clear Title with Marti Report.

History:

This car was purchased as part of an estate collection; Cars were in storage before I purchased them. I believe the previous owner built the car for Drag Racing. Car was never raced however. As a result, he car has a number of changes in the drive train that I will explain the best I can. The car does not have the original engine. If it does it has been modified for racing. Not sure if the rear is original because it not numbered. Please note that I do not know what was done to the car by the previous owner, o I am writing this description for that view point. I will make every effort too represent the car the best I can. Actual Milage is an estimate.
