--- Quote from: Bill Hamilton on February 24, 2019, 03:45:59 PM ---I've had two 1970's with Shaker Hoods and stripes. One I still own (repainted, never restored) is a 1970 Mach 1 with 351 M-Code and the build date was 10/14/69. It has the solid black stripe and built in New Jersey. The other was a 1970 428 R-Code with a build date of 11/05/69 and built in Dearborn with the solid hood stripe. Neither car had the "351" or "428" call-out numbers in the stripe.
I also had a cousin who returned from Vietnam in the fall of 1969 and purchsed a new 1970 M-Code Shaker Mach 1 off the dealers lot with the solid stripe, no numbers.
I was going to college back then and had a new 1970 Grabber Mustang (F-Code, no hood stripe). I was a big 1970 fan and looked at all of them I saw back then. I really don't remember seeing the call-out numbers in the hood stripes back then. In the years since it seems like most Mach 1's I see at cruises and shows have the numbers in the stripes. I like the look, just don't remember seeing them like that in the fall of 1969 when the 70's came out.

Interesting because I have seen two unrestored August Metuchen M code shaker cars and they both had gaps with solid black 351 in the gaps.

4/69 ???? I don't think they built 70 Mach1s until mid 7/69 and didn't go on sale till September. Heres my 3/10/70 Dearborn built 70 351C Mach 1. I am the second owner and have owned since 9/73. Original paint unrestored with white out lined call out numerals. I have seen original 428 cars this way too. I worked at a Ford dealer in 69-70 and I remember Q code cars came with solid black numerals and the R code ram air cars came with the white out lined numerals. But not to say that is the gospel.

I have extra 428 repo Hood emblems if needed. I also produced custom flat black 428 emblems using 3M Matt wrap material. I have an add on the 428 Cobra Jet forum. I don’t visit here much. Rick
