1969 FORD MUSTANG Q-CODE 428 COBRA JET 4-SPEED CONVERTIBLE

It is the only one with an AM/FM stereo radio - the only option ordered on the car because this was meant for racing and extra weight was considered unnecessary.

In its racing life it ran in a number of different classes piloted by the team of Terry Dubowick Rich Baldassari and John Presing. It eventually made its way to Marcus Anghels acclaimed shop in Scottsdale AZ for a full restoration.
