Cobra Jet is a Mattel Hot Wheels model of a 1968 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet muscle car. Most Ford muscle car admirers will tell you the quickest true factory production Mustang of the muscle car era was the 1968 Ford Mustang 428 Cobra Jet. Mustangs were competing head to head in sales, and on the streets, with big-block Camaros and Firebirds, and even 340-cid Darts and Barracudas, and they were all kicking Mustang's tail. on the street. Ford noticed and in April 1968 released the first Ford Mustang 428 Cobra Jet. They stuffed the huge 428-cid big-car engine into the car. The engine had larger valve heads and the race-brewed 427's intake manifold. It also had ram-air induction and a functional hood scoop. The scoop mated to a special air cleaner with a vacuum-actuated butterfly valve that funneled air directly into the Holley four-barrel carburetor. Output was around 410 horsepower, but Ford rated it at 335 horsepower in an effort to calm insurance agents and con dragstrip rules-makers. With 11.5-second ETs at 120 mph, the factory team of eight specially prepared 1968 Ford Mustang 428 CJs obliterated everything in their Super Stock class at the '68 NHRA Winternationals. The impact was no less forceful on the street. Our little Cobra Jet just wants to race from cache to cache, racking up the miles and the smiles.
