1970 Ford Mustang CJ428 - Light Blue Q-Code (Highway 61) 1/18
Product Details Temp out of stock
In its day, the '70 SCJ 428 Cobra Jet Sportsroof Mustang was a real high-horsepower monster. A rarely known or understood option in the 1970 Mustang, most enthusiasts naturally gravitate towards the stripes and hood scoops of the Mach I, Boss 302 or Boss 429 at carshows. But today, it is arguably the second most sought-after Ford engine package behind the 289 Hi-Po. And the ultra-sleeper Sportsroof Mustang was available in an even rare Super Cobra Jet "Drag Pack" version.
Ordered as either a Q-code with conventional air cleaner and plain-jane hood, or R-code with shaker-style hood scoop, these Mustangs still draw curious looks. The idea of propelling what appeared to be grandma's snoozer 6-cylinder Sportsroof with a 428 Cobra Jet engine with 335 horsepower and 440 foot-pounds of torque is unsettling even today. Then add the 428 Super Cobra Jet "Drag Pack" option which included either of the optional 3.91:1 or Detroit Locker 4.30:1 rear end gear ratios and a true muscle car was born.

The Ford Mustang launched on April 17, 1964 and sold over 22,000 units on its first day — a record that still stands. Credited with creating the pony car segment, the Mustang gave American buyers a sporty, affordable car at a time when performance meant expense. Early first-generation cars are among the most collected American automobiles ever produced, with the 1967–1968 fastback body style and the 1969–1970 Mach 1 considered peak muscle era styling.
This 1/18 scale replica of the 1970 Ford Mustang in Blue is produced by Highway 61 to collector-grade specifications. At 1/18 scale — the most popular collector scale — the model measures approximately 10 inches in length and displays beautifully on a shelf or in a glass cabinet. Every detail — from paint finish to badging — is reproduced from measurements taken from the original vehicle.
