1968 Mustang Fastback Cobra Jet 135
Called a 135, there were 50 built in December 1967 by the Ford factory for NHRA racing. They were sold to select racing teams for one dollar and the cars won the Winter Nationals, placing 1st and 2nd. These were the first Cobra Jets. There are only 35 of the original 50 cars known to exist. This is probably the last 135 to be found and restored. They were all built white in color with black interior and no radio or heater.
This has gone through a one-year full time restoration. Unlike many, it was never tubbed and completely rust free. This has all 1968 Cobra Jet motor, bell housing, transmission and rear end but not date coded. Intake manifold and carburetor are not correct. It retains it’s original 8000 RPM tack, hood scoop and ram air cleaner. It is believed to be 8,000 miles.
Unknown race history probably on the west coast. It is known to have gone to Holman-Moody for prep. Delivered new at Mel Burns Ford. Substantial reward for proof of original race team. 100-mile break in test since just completed.
