The 1969 Ford Fairlane Cobra 428 was the carmaker’s reply to the low-budget, midsize Plymouth Road Runner. See more muscle car footage. 2007 Publications International, Ltd. Ford in the 1960s had a bona-fide winner’s fame, but it was earned on the ovals of NASCAR, in international sports-automobile competitors that included LeMans, in the open-wheel crucible of the Indy 500, and in organized drag-strip motion. Ford muscle cars counted among their ranks some of the better all-around performance machines of the supercar period, but it surely took a while for the blue oval boys to put it all together. On the road, however, Ford’s early muscle vehicles have been usually heavier and underpowered in comparison with the very best from GM, Dodge, and Plymouth. Not that Ford was fully ailing geared up for Main Street tussles. But that success wore thin because it became apparent that a fame in stoplight road racing could translate into much more showroom sales. Its full-size Galaxies of the early ’60s matched power rankings with their GM and Mopar counterparts.
The Galaxie provided a high-efficiency 352-cid V-eight in 1960. A 401-bhp triple-carb 390 in 1961. Displacement rose to 406 cubes in 1962, bringing with it 405 horses. In 1963 got here the thundering 425-bhp 427 Galaxies. The true hole in Ford’s mid-’60s lineup was within the midsize-car ranks. A ’66 Fairlane with the hello-po 289 or even the 335-bhp 390 V-8 was little match for a contemporary Chevy Chevelle SS 396 or, heaven forbid, a Hemi-powered Plymouth Satellite. Ford made a recreation response with a small batch of 427-powered Fairlanes, but they have been very expensive and hardly ever seen. That is the place the heaviest street motion was. In 1968, Ford fitted a couple of Mustangs with a 390-horse 427, then changed that engine at midyear with the 428 Cobra Jet V-8. When Ford lastly cracked the muscle-car code, it made up for lost time. Rated at a conservative 335 bhp, the Cobra Jet was an aggressive powerplant with good avenue manners and an affordable worth.
