Description
Lot #1048 - This documented late-production 1968 R-code 428 Cobra Jet Mustang is one of 119 automatic CJ coupes produced. It came equipped with the factory GT package and features the 428ci V8 Cobra Jet engine with 4.30 Traction-Lok 9-inch rear end and radio delete. It has never suffered the dreaded "lost engine" due to racing issues and retains its complete matching-numbers drivetrain. This Mustang GT underwent a complete concours restoration resulting in numerous high-level awards, including Gold Concours Driven by the International Mustang Club of America the very first time shown. It is listed in the Cobra Jet Registry. This vehicle includes a Marti Report and a copy of the Window Sticker, showing it is one of one manufactured in June 1968. It has also been featured in the CJ Registry calendar and Hemming's Muscle Machines magazine.
