1968½ Mustang Cobra Jet - Last Of The Few

David Garton's GT Fastback Was The Final San Jose-Built '68&frac12 Cobra JetFew investing their valuable time to read this magazine would disagree that each and every '68&frac12 428 Cobra Jet Mustang was something special in the rich history of the world's first and foremost ponycar. The mid-year advent of the Cobra Jet engine option, with its notoriously underrated 335 horsepower and effortless long-stroke torque, firmly and decisively ended any doubts about the Mustang's ability to show its taillights to the competition-on or off the racetrack. And while many of us likely remember the earliest CJs mainly for their dragstrip exploits and successes, it's easy to forget what a civilized street package the production GT-based CJs could be, at least with careful attention to the option list. David Garton's striking Meadowlark Yellow fastback is a prime example-in more ways than one.
