LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1969 Ford Mustang GT Convertible
In 1969, Ford built nearly 300,000 Mustangs. Of those, 14,598 of them were convertibles, 50 of which were equipped with Q-code 428 Cobra Jet engines. Of those, this is one of only 20 equipped with a 4-speed, one of nine with the GT package and one of only two painted in Raven Black.
As per the Marti report, this rare Mustang was sold new at Ed Schmid Ford Inc. in Ferndale, Michigan on July 17th, 1969 to its first owner. It was ordered as it sits today in the highly collectible and ultra rare factory Raven Black exterior with a standard black interior, black manual top with black boot, electric clock, AM radio and power steering. The massive Q-code 428 Cobra Jet engine is backed by a factory close-ratio Toploader 4 speed and 9-inch rear end is supported by staggered shocks designed to dampen wheel hop during hard acceleration. This factory GT convertible is also equipped with the front spoiler, center console, bucket seats with headrests and period-correct “no size” Goodyear Polyglas tires.
Upon completion of a nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration, this Raven Black Cobra Jet GT convertible has been driven only a test miles since completion. The Q-code 428 Cobra Jet engine has been correctly detailed with Ford Corporate Blue paint, chrome air-cleaner lid, finned-aluminum valve covers, factory-style hoses and clamps, color-coded vacuum hoses and original finishes for all metal components.
As with other muscle cars built in the period, convertibles with high performance engine packages have always been the most sought-after by collectors due to their low production numbers. This 428 Cobra Jet convertible is no exception with only 50 ever produced, only 20 with a 4-speed transmission and only 2 in the most collectible factory color of all, Raven black.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
