Back in 2008, Ford decided to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the 1968 Cobra Jet with a very limited series of the Mustang built by Ford Performance Parts.
Only 50 such units were launched in 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2016, but the first batch that saw daylight is one that already made it to history books.
It’s because a 2008 Mustang Cobra Jet, which was owned by Hajek Motorsports, managed to win the 2009 NHRA Winternationals. The car was one of the 50 Mustang Cobra Jets that were built in 2008 and was driven by John Calvert.
And now a Mustang Cobra Jet owned by the same NHRA champion can be yours.
Currently sold on eBay, the car was originally available for $69,900 and is powered by a 5.4-liter V8 engine with Ford GT heads and a Ford Performance/TVS supercharger. The chassis features a safety cage and is certified by the NHRA. The engine is paired with a 6-speed Tremec manual transmission.
The Mustang uses a custom Ford Performance suspension, as well as a Strange Engineering braking kit with lightweight vented rotors. It comes with the Bogart Racing wheels and Goodyear Cobra Jet tires that were installed by Ford back in 2008.
The Cobra Jet that’s being sold on eBay also features a series of extras that certainly make it more special, including a signed helmet.
Interestingly enough, the car comes with just 8 miles (12.8 km) on the clock, so this isn’t the actual car that he used in the 2009 race, but the one that he received after winning the Winternationals. This Mustang Cobra Jet has never been raced, and it obviously comes in mint condition.
The car can be yours for the same price as new, which means that you must pay $69,995 to buy it today. However, the selling garage reveals that you can also trade a series of other high-performance cars for this Mustang, including Ferraris and Porsches.
