This 1970 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet is one of the rarest examples in the world and has held up incredibly well, albeit with a new Wimbledon White paint job hiding its triple-black identity.
Ford released the first Mustang all the way back in 1964, and it’s still in production today, making it the marque’s longest-running nameplate.
Since then, more than 10 million Ford Mustangs have been sold, but that’s not to say there aren’t some super–rare examples out there.
Like this 1970 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet that has recently been snapped up by a collector.

Why this 1970 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet is a super rare find
The Cobra Jet was fitted with a powerful 7.0-liter engine and was a rarer option than your stock standard ‘Stang.
Ford pulled the plug on the Cobra Jet in 1970, with just 3,489 models being sold that year.
Of those, only 203 were convertible, like this example that recently appeared on Nate’s Classic Cars YouTube channel.
Making this particular model even rarer is the fact that it comes with air conditioning, something Nate says makes it one of only two such cars ever produced.
However, it also comes with a triple black color scheme: black paint, black top, and black interior – making it a one-off.
In the clip, Nate revealed that the car has been restored and repainted, and these days is finished in Wimbledon White.
Aside from the new coat of paint, the Mustang is pretty much all original, including its Cobra Jet engine.
Not only that, but it still runs and drives, making it an even more incredible find.
What’s next for the rare Cobra Jet?
The one-of-one 1970 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet was discovered in a garage in Indiana, alongside some other highly desirable vehicles, including a Shelby GT500 convertible.
Nate snapped it up, but unlike his usual finds, which end up being sold on, he’s decided to hold onto the Cobra Jet, and who can blame him?
The car enthusiast plans to restore the Mustang to its factory specifications, including its triple-black color scheme.
We’re just glad such a rare and stunning Mustang has ended up in the hands of someone willing to give it the attention it needs.
