"Cobra Jet" Book Review: A Fascinating Chronicle of Ford’s 428 Legacy (The News Wheel)
Today, we know Ford’s performance capabilities through the Mustang’s legendary reputation and its famous iterations like the Shelby GT500. However, Ford wasn’t always a “cool” brand beloved by young thrill-seekers and trendy joy-riders. Its performance at the track was mediocre, and that didn’t translate to high public sales of its sporty models.
Throughout the 1960s, Ford’s Total Performance racing program worked hard to change that image, and the brand made history with the debut of the 428 Cobra Jet-equipped Mustang in 1968.
Automotive experts and experienced writers Rob Kinnan and Diego Rosenberg team up to chronicle the revolutionary impact of the Cobra Jet in their new book, Cobra Jet: The History of Ford’s Greatest High-Performance Muscle Cars.
