Two Part Question:
Ok, but get ready for a three-part
response. :-)
#1 Does any body know if 69 Mach1"s 428cj
odered with 3.91:1 rear end gear ratio and automatic transmission were
factory delivered with staggered rear shocks?
In theory, no - but I keep hearing from
folks who swear their A/T-equipped Mustang has them.
Fact is, Ford never said that automatic
cars wouldn't have staggered shocks (see next paragraph). Remember,
they're in the business of making cars - not museum pieces. If the
assembly plant had leftover crossmembers, you can bet they were going
to get used one way or another. If the end result is that some A/T
cars ended up with an extra feature I say, 'No harm, no foul.'
;-)
Rumor has it that only the 4 speeds
received this option.
Ford's dealer materials promised
staggered shocks on all Mustangs ordered with 4-speed and 428, plus
all the 'Boss' cars. This basic rule applies to similarly-equipped
'69 Cougars, as well.
I'm looking for someone to respond
who has first hand knowledge of this.
ie. original owner of
such a vehicle, or someone in the know! Not just someone reading articles
out of a magazine.
Me - read articles out of some
'enthusiast magazine'? Hell, no....not unless I wrote 'em.
