RE: 1968 428 Fairlane 500
By Mike McQuesten - 12/31/2001 1:12:54 AM; IP 63.50.124.212
Thank you Dan! That is a fabulous '68 Formal Roof 428 Cobra Jet Fairlane! I've never seen another like it anywhere, Magazines or for sure in person.

So this was a very early production CJ '68 that basically got demoted before it had a chance? Is it a 4 speed or auto. car?

I must admit my preference for the formal roof styling. It's just my preference and I don't dislike nor would I not own a SportsRoof '69 Cobra. I'd take a '69 Cobra any style now. Back in '69, I was a gofer/lot lizzard with a little tiny bit of influence at a podunk farm Ford dealership. I talked them into ordering a '69 Cobra Formal Roof w/drag pack & 3.91s/ram air too. I wanted to go 4 speed but they wouldn't allow that. The sales manager wanted to drive it once in awhile and he was not proficient with the ol'clutch. Unless it was a tractor or an F250.

Thanks again for those pics - I'm turning on the printer for those.
