Clear

TRUE MARTI DOCUMENTED "R" CODE MACH 1 WITH THE LEGENDARY 428 COBRA JET ENGINE. VERY EARLY OCTOBER 8. 1968 PRODUCTION. 49000 MILES. BODY BUCK TAG, ENGINE TAG, TRANSMISSION TAG, REAR END TAG AND DOOR TAG ALL IN PLACE, ORIGINAL AND DOCUMENTED. THIS CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED OVER ITS LIFETIME AND HAS ALL CORRECT DATE CODED PARTS FROM ORIGINAL, NOT A CATALOG FULL OF REPRODUCTION ILL FITTING PIECES. THE PAINT ON THE CAR IS MOSTLY ORIGINAL, WITH THE SIDES OF THE CARS HAVING PAINT WORK DONE THRU THE YEARS. HOOD PAINT IS ORIGINAL AND TEXTURED, WITH THE ORIGINAL PAINT WHEEL PINSTRIPE SURROUNDING IT. UNDERSIDE OF HOOD IS ORIGINAL WITH THE BLACK OVERSPRAY THRU THE SHAKER HOLE AND THE YELLOW "PAINT OK" INSPECTION MARK STILL VISIBLE, WHICH IS ALSO STILL VISIBLE ON THE FENDER. THE REAR OF THE CAR, WHILE APPEARING INCORRECT, IS VERY RARE AND ONLY ON THE EARLY MACH 1'S. THERE IS NO MACH 1 CALLED OUT ON THE TRUNK STRIPE. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL TRUNK STRIPE, PAINT, ORIGINAL SELLING DEALER DECAL, AND ORIGINAL ROLLED TIP CHROME DUAL EXHAUST TIPS. ANOTHER ODDITY IS THAT THE QUARTER PANEL EXTENSIONS ARE FIBERGLASS, NOT POT METAL. I DONT BELIEVE THE TRUNK STRIPES ARE AVAILABLE, WHICH IS WHY ALL OF THE RESTORED CARS HAVE MACH 1 CALLED OUT ON THEM. THE TRUNK AND INTERIOR OF THE CAR ARE BEAUTIFULLY DETAILED WITH THE FIFTH CORRECT WHEEL AND POLYGLAS TIRE, JACK ASSEMBLY, ORIGINAL TRUNK DECALS, ETC. THE FUEL TANK IS ORIGINAL AND HAS THE PART # WRITTEN ON IT AND THE STEEL MANUFACTURING STAMP STILL VISIBLE. INTERIOR HAS THE TILT SWINGAWAY STEERING WHEEL THAT WORKS CORRECTLY, CONSOLE, FOLD DOWN REAR SPORT SEAT, AM-FM STEREO RADIO, AND RARELY SEEN POWER VENT VENTILATION SYSTEM, ALL DOCUMENTED OPTIONS ON THE MARTI REPORT. THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR IS CLEAN, BUT NOT DETAILED, AND THE CAST IRON PARTS HAVE THE LIGHT RUST PATINA THAT ONLY COMES WITH 43 YEARS OF AGEING. THE REAR END IS THE CORRECT 31 SPLINE NODULAR REAR WITH 3:50 TRACTION LOK, TRANSMISSION IS THE CORRECT C6, BOTH DATE CODED CORRECT. THE ENGINE IS DATED 8J23, SEPTEMBER 23, 1968. CORRECT DATE CODED HEADS, EXHAUST MANIFOLDS, CARBURETOR, FAN, DISTRIBUTOR, STARTER, ETC. CARB IS CORRECT PART AND DATE CODE WITH THE IDLE SOLENOID AND CHOKE HEAT TUBES PRESENT. ALL PARTS ARE AUTOLITE, AS ORIGINAL. ALL CHROME AND STAINLESS IS ORIGINAL, INCLUDING THE WHEELS, TRIM RINGS AND CENTER CAPS. PHOTO DOCUMENTATION IS AVAILABLE OF THE PARTS. THE SHAKER FUNCTIONS CORRECTLY WITH SNORKEL, "S" TUBE AND HEAT SHIELD ORIGINAL AND IN PLACE. ABOUT THE ONLY THING MISSING FROM ORIGINAL IS THE SMOG SYSTEM. THEY ARE ONLY ORIGINAL ONCE, AND ANYONE THAT HAS RESTORED A COBRA JET CAR KNOWS THE DIFFICULTY IN FINDING CORRECT PARTS, AND FINDING THE CORRECT DATES IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. PLEASE LOOK AT THE PICS AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS. SERIOUS BUYER COLLECTORS NEED ONLY APPLY AS THIS IS NOT A DAILY DRIVER CAR, BUT MORE OF A REFERENCE OF HOW THESE CARS WERE ORIGINALLY BUILT.On Sep-17-12 at 18:25:44 PDT, seller added the following information: MARTI REPORT ADDED TO PICTURES.
