Ford Factory Built Drag Car, #27 of 68, Collection Car, 50th Anniv, NEVER RACED!

In 2018, Ford enthusiasts and drag racing aficionados were treated to a special edition of the iconic Mustang - the Cobra Jet. Designed for the drag strip, the 2018 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet was a limited-production 50th anniversary beast that was built with a nod to the iconic 1968 Cobra Jet, and combined the classic Mustang aesthetics with cutting-edge performance technology.

Under the hood, the Cobra Jet featured a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine, producing an astonishing amount of horsepower. (The exact power output was said to exceed 1,000 horsepower.) This made it one of the most powerful factory-built Mustangs ever produced.

The Cobra Jet was purpose-built for drag racing, with features like a unique four-link rear suspension, lightweight racing brakes, and a 9-inch solid rear axle. The car also boasted a NHRA-certified roll cage, racing seats, and a special drag race-specific coilover suspension.

Ford limited the production of the 2018 Mustang Cobra Jet to a mere 68 units, (this car being #27), making it a highly sought-after collector's item. Each Cobra Jet came with a unique serial number and was ready to dominate the quarter-mile straight from the factory.

The Cobra Jet paid homage to its historic predecessors with iconic design elements. The classic Cobra Jet graphics, menacing hood scoop, and sleek silhouette were reminiscent of the Mustang's racing heritage, creating a visual spectacle on and off the drag strip... all while clocking blistering 8 second runs.

The 2018 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet was a testament to Ford's commitment to pushing the boundaries of performance. With its powerful engine, purpose-built features for drag racing, and limited production, the Cobra Jet captured the hearts of Mustang enthusiasts and left an indelible mark in the annals of high-performance American muscle cars. It remains a symbol of raw power and speed, embodying the spirit of the Mustang lineage on the drag strip.
