*My uncle is the original owner of a 1969 Mach 1 428CJ with the top loader 4 speed. Stock it ran 13's. The quickest quote I've seen for a production Mustang was from Car Craft testing the 1968 1/2 Mach 1 428CJ with the top loader. 0-60 5.5 sec. 1/4 mile 13.56 @ 108mph. Those numbers might be off a little in the accuracy dept. being back in the day and all, but they are reasonable for a perfect run.*
I find the 13.56 ET a bit dubius, at 108 mph.
This, to me, indicates poor suspension or other problems launching. A car that can run 108 mph in 1320' should be able to do it in real low 12's.
poor launch & gobs of power!
