1968 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet - Doc's Old Horse

The Continuing Tale Of A One-Owner Cobra JetOur story begins with two car-crazed research lab co-workers poring over glowing magazine reports of a new engine that had recently powered certain white Mustang fastbacks to Super Stock stardom at the NHRA's 1968 Winternationals in Pomona, California. That engine was of course Ford's 428 Cobra Jet, which would be released for production purposes in early April of 1968. One of those gearhead lab rats-a Ford man at heart, who was doing post-doctoral research at the time-was so impressed by what he'd read that, on May 13, 1968, he signed an order form at Rankin Ford Sales in London, Ontario, Canada, for one of those newly available '681/2 Mustang CJs. On that day, 35-year-old Dr. Ross Gillman wrote out a $100 check as a deposit on the Candyapple Red convertible that he has owned ever since.
