The Bolesworth Castle October 2023 Classic & Performance Car Auction
1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet
Nicknamed ‘G-Force’ and one of the fastest production muscle cars of its time
Registration- TSN 528H
Chassis No - TBC
M.O.T. - Spetember 2024
Odometer - 97,000 kilometres
‘TSN 528H’, otherwise known as ‘G Force’, was restored and customised in the late 70’s. The ‘G Force’ name stemmed from the unusual paint scheme commissioned for it by its then owner, Barry Sturges, that included a bonnet mural depicting people in a spaceship. It was this that gave this well-known muscle car its nickname, that’s still remembered today by Mustang enthusiasts, even though the mural has long since been painted over. Sturges was a keen amateur drag racer, and is said to have achieved a mid-14s run in ‘G Force’. The car has been in the vendor’s hands for the last three years, and was last serviced three months ago. He currently grades the 428ci (7-litre) engine and three-speed automatic transmission as ‘good’, and the bodywork, white paintwork and black interior trim as ‘average’. This iconic Mustang is now offered for sale complete with a fresh MOT and a large file of paperwork. A slice of UK-inspired Mustang history.
Launched in 1969, the Ford Mustang Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet was one of the fastest cars to carry the Mustang name in period. The key to its speed was the 428ci (7-Litre) Ford Cobra Jet FE V8 engine that nestled under its vast bonnet – its output was 335bhp and a stump-pulling 440 lb ft of torque.
In summary:
- ‘TTN 528H’, aka ‘G Force’, is a well-known car from the ‘70s
- The model was one of the fastest to carry the Mustang name
- The car comes complete with a large history file and a fresh MOT
