Equipment
428 Cobra Jet, heavy-duty 4-speed, 3.89 axle, hub caps, narrow whitewalls.
Condition
Represented as one of 50 special production 1968 Cobra Jet Mustangs built for NHRA Stock Racing homologation and one of 20 lightweights, specifically deleting sound deadener and seam sealer. This car is one of the lightweights but has no specific race history. It has been restored to high but not excessive standards and still presents like a fresh car.
Market commentary
A meticulous restoration by Ford and Mustang specialists, treatment it deserved for its special status and limited production. In some cases “less is more”, including leaving off the sound deadener and seam sealer, which goes a long way to explaining why the informed bidders here at B-J New Orleans kept standing up and bidding more. It sets its own standard for value.
