SOLD! Ford Racing reintroduced the Cobra Jet Mustang in a very limited run of 50, as a 2008 model, to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the original Cobra Jet’s debut.
The 3300-pound machine is a couple hundred pounds lighter than a Mustang GT and features a supercharged 5.4-liter V-8 and a six-speed manual. Omitted are production-car standards such as wipers, mirrors, heater, air conditioning, radio, and airbags. Cup holders, however, remain.
The Cobra Jet is NHRA-approved and -certified to a 10.00-second elapsed time and has Stock Eliminator–legal interior.
The Cobra Jet comes with a bill of sale and a serial number but no vehicle identification number (VIN), so it cannot be registered or licensed as a street vehicle. (It also wouldn’t pass an emissions test.)
