Was the Mach 1 style silver hood paint added or was that factory?

I have no idea. I assumed that is how it's supposed to be.

For another 4000.00 You can take it home in this trailer.

that's super cheap on the trailer. im not up on the mustangs but that looks like a really high quality low production car for that little amount of money.

The hood paint was added, it is also supposed to be semi gloss .. I have seen that car in person. 50k is a deal for that SCJ..

Yes, from the factory if the "Ram Air" option was added. Also got the chrome hood locks.

BTW..Is this a numbers matching car? Thanks

The article says Date coded correct engine so I assume it's not the orig. engine.


The Marti report says "Ram Air" so are you saying the paint on the hood is correct ?

[429scj]

Yes painted hood, with "RAM AIR 429" decal on both sides, chrome hood locks, ram air hood springs, plenum with two actuators and a Ram Air aircleaner when the Ram Air option checked off on a non MACH 1 car like yours.
By the way, SCJ Ram Air cars got a special aircleaner with larger anti spin tabs for the 780 Holley.
The last year for the 429 SCJ and only in Mustangs.
