For a mere $155 in 1969, the Drag Pack could be added to the Mach I Cobra Jet Mustang, boosting it to become a Super Cobra Jet car. For many models, including the Mustang, in the ’70s, this addition was not much more than a visual effect to make the car stand out, but in 1969 the Drag Pack was so much more. It had the same shaker hood scoop as the base level Mach I, but it was functional rather than visual. The engine came with a modified crankshaft, upgraded connecting rods, and an engine oil cooler. The air conditioning unit was removed to reduce weight and stop the power drain commonly caused by running air conditioning. And last but not least, the car came with a limited-slip differential with either 3.91:1 or 4.30:1 gears.
