1968-1/2 Cobra Jet Mustang GT
April 1, 1968 - THIS DAY IN FORD HISTORY:
On April 1, 1968 Ford unvailed its newest secret weapon, the 428 Cobra Jet. It made its debut in the Mustang at Pomona, eclipsing the competition. Who can argue with the success of the Mustang at the '68, '69 and '70 NHRA Winternationals in Pomona, California? Certainly not us, because the history books (and NHRA records) have been speaking for themselves for more than 30 years.
What hurt the Cobra Jet's development was an ugly United Auto Workers strike that shut down Ford during the fall of '67. Development of the Cobra Jet didn't really get underway until December of that year, with the production of a couple of Mustang test mules, then the limited-production run of 50 Wimbledon White fastbacks produced strictly for NHRA competition. Some of those fastbacks were shipped to professional drag racers, such as "Dyno" Don Nicholson, Hubert Platt, and Gas Ronda, as an opening salvo for the '68 season. These gentlemen went to the NHRA Winternationals in Pomona with their fastbacks and earned Ford some respect. This '68-1/2 Cobra Jet Mustang GT fastback is a gleaming example of what renewed Ford's respect on the street in 1968. It's a concours restoration, right down to the Goodyear Polyglas bias-belted tires.
