Ford Mustang Cobra Jets (FR500CJ)DETROIT : December 21, 2008 - The first of the highly anticipated 40th Anniversary Mustang Cobra Jets (FR500CJ) rolled off the assembly line today completing an eight-month migration from an idea to reality. Brian Wolfe, Director of Ford Racing Technology, presented the keys to the first Cobra Jet to Brent Hajek, owner of Hajek Motorsports, who will enter four of the new CJ’s at the 2009 Winternationals at Pomona, Calif. in February.
In 1968, Ford took the NHRA Winternationals by storm with the Cobra Jet Mustang. Only 50 factory lightweights were built, and in its first appearance, the Cobra Jet won. Forty years after this historic event, Ford Racing is happy to announce that the legend continues with a new NHRA-legal race car – the 2008 Cobra Jet Mustang!
