Lot #715 - In 2008, Ford Racing introduced a modern drag-race Cobra Jet program as a 40-year tribute to the first 428 Cobra Jet Mustangs that won the Super Stock class at the 1968 NHRA Winter Nationals. Created as turnkey competition cars, only 50 were built for NHRA Stock and Super Stock classes or NMRA Renegade. The program proved so popular that it returned in subsequent years. Delivered from Ford in Race Red with the optional graphics package, this Cobra Jet Mustang is No. 7 of the 50 built for 2012. Never raced, the Cobra Jet remains as delivered from Ford; the window net has never been removed from its box. Priced new at $91,900 under Ford Racing part number M-FR500-CJ, the 50 Cobra Jets started life as lightweight 2012 Mustang bodies in white before their completion in competition trim. This particular CJ was ordered fully optioned with the graphics package and 4.0-liter supercharger for a total MSRP of $103,980. Sold for off-road use only, the 2012 Cobra Jets were capable of 8-second quarter-mile ETs straight from the factory thanks to their supercharged 5.4-liter TiVCT engine with 32-valve Ford GT cylinder heads and custom-grind camshaft, 3-speed automatic race transmission from Joel’s on Joy, and Strange Engineering 9” rear end with aluminum center section and 4.29 gears. To withstand the boost from the Ford Racing/Whipple supercharger, the aluminum short block was strengthened with a forged crankshaft, Manley H-beam connecting rods and Mahle forged pistons. Packed with racing equipment, the 2012 Cobra Jet Mustangs also included stainless-steel headers and collectors, cold-air induction, adjustable drag-race suspension, Strange Engineering 4-wheel disc brake kit with lightweight rotors and billet 4-piston calipers, Aeromotive high-flow fuel system, chromoly safety cage certified to 8.5-second elapsed times, lightweight manual rack & pinion steering, Cobra Jet wheels from Weld Racing and Goodyear front skinnies and drag slicks. This Cobra Jet also includes its original Bill of Sale and receipt. **NOT STREET LEGAL. SOLD ON BILL OF SALE ONLY**
