This 2008 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet is #37 of only 50 examples produced by Ford Racing for the model year. It was originally delivered new to Jacky Jones Ford of Cleveland, Georgia. Finished in white with a striking Cobra Jet livery, this highly specialized Mustang is built for drag racing performance and exclusivity.
Under the hood, the car is powered by a 5.4-liter DOHC V8 engine equipped with a 2.3-liter Eaton TVS supercharger. The engine features forged internals, Ford GT cylinder heads, and Ford Performance forged camshafts and crankshaft. Additional upgrades include a 65-mm throttle body, high-impedance 80 lb/hr fuel injectors, an Aeromotive Eliminator fuel pump, an A1000 fuel pressure regulator, and a 10-micron fuel filter. Tuned by Ford Racing, the engine produces a factory-rated 425 horsepower.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission coupled with a Strange Engineering 9-inch rear axle featuring 4.11:1 gearing, a chromoly yoke, and 35-spline axles. The car rides on 15-inch multi-piece Bogart Racing wheels wrapped in Goodyear Eagle drag slicks to maximize traction on the strip.
The suspension is fully adjustable, with lightweight manual steering rack, adjustable front struts, and adjustable Panhard bar, upper control arms, and shocks in the rear. Braking is managed by Strange Engineering lightweight four-piston calipers and vented rotors, ensuring excellent stopping power during high-performance runs.
This Mustang Cobra Jet is equipped with an NHRA-certified chrome-moly roll cage and multi-point racing harnesses for maximum driver safety. The factory-style bucket seats are upholstered in black cloth with white “Cobra Jet” and flaming cobra graphic embroidery. Other performance and safety features include a Liberty pistol grip shifter and an intercooler pump switch.
In keeping with its race-ready purpose, this car does not have rear seats, air conditioning, or a stereo system. The windshield wipers and side mirrors were removed as part of the drag-spec conversion. The exterior is further enhanced by an aluminum hood scoop, hood pins, body-color quarter-window louvers, and a rear diffuser.
Inside the cockpit, a three-spoke black steering wheel fronts the factory instrumentation, supplemented by a Ford Racing tachometer and auxiliary gauges mounted atop the dashboard. The digital odometer reads just 0.5 miles, underscoring the car’s minimal use.
Included with the sale are a Ford Racing certificate, a numbered build book, promotional literature, and a set of Cobra Jet-branded apparel including a shirt, jacket, and hat. Please note, this vehicle is not street legal, does not have a title, and is offered with a bill of sale only.
This rare, purpose-built 2008 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet is a unique opportunity for serious drag racing enthusiasts or collectors seeking a highly collectible race car with authentic Ford Racing pedigree.
