The Ford Mustang 351 Cobra Jet holds a special place in the 60 year history of the Ford Mustang. Introduced in 1969 as a high-performance option, with its sleek design and formidable power, the Mustang 351 Cobra Jet quickly gained a reputation as a street racer's dream. Underneath the bonnet laid a potent 351cui Cleveland V8 engine, tuned to deliver an impressive output of over 300bhp. This robust powertrain, combined with other performance enhancements such as upgraded suspension and Ram-Air, made the 351 Cobra Jet a force to be reckoned with on both the drag strip and the open road.
With its long bonnet, broad stance and unmistakable pony grille, this Ford Mustang Convertible captures the exuberance of American motoring. Presented in red with matching upholstery and a contrasting black folding hood, it combines imposing proportions with the appeal of open-top V8 motoring. The exterior is enhanced by Mach 1 graphics, with black stripes extending along the flanks and matching lettering across the boot lid. A twin-scoop bonnet with retaining pins adds to its sporting appearance, complemented by chrome bumpers, bright sill trims and multi-spoke wheels fitted with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tyres bearing white sidewall lettering. Twin exhaust outlets complete the purposeful presentation.
Inside, the left-hand-drive cabin features red high-backed front seats and a matching rear bench, accompanied by red door trims and contrasting black carpets. The black dashboard houses deeply recessed instruments, while a centre console accommodates the floor-mounted automatic gear selector. With the hood lowered, the bright interior provides a particularly striking complement to the exterior colour scheme.
Under the bonnet sits a V8 engine fitted with a Ford Motorsport-branded air cleaner and bright rocker covers. The odometer displays a recorded 65,021, and the automatic transmission adds to the car's appeal as a relaxed cruiser for summer outings and enthusiast events.
Purchased for a large and prominent collection, this example has been housed indoors throughout its time in the collection, regularly maintained by the custodian's mechanics and taken to local shows annually. The vendor describes the Mustang, along with the other cars offered from his collection, as running and driving for its next owner. A bold colour combination, sporting detailing and convertible bodywork give it considerable presence, offering an appealing opportunity for an enthusiast seeking a characterful American V8.
