A prototype version for the 2014 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer was sold last weekend at the Barrett-Jackson Auction Las Vegas’s sale for $200,000 (€147,200), with the Blue Oval handing over the proceeds to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
“Watching the car cross the block in support of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society was very rewarding,” said Dave Pericak, Mustang chief engineer. “It is an amazing competition-ready car that will make any team an instant force in its class. This Mustang Cobra Jet will be an inspiring reminder for anyone who sees it on the drag strip to continue working to combat the effects of MS.”
The Mustang racer with the unique serial number of #2014 BJMS CJXX1 sports a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 mated to a T4 racing transmission. Other parts include an optional traction “wheelie” bar, a chrome-moly safety cage, exclusive Cobra Jet-branded Weld wheels, three-link rear suspension, lightweight racing brakes, 9-inch rear axle, and custom Cobra-branded Recaro seats.
