Considering prior year Cobra Jets were in excess of $99k, it would not surprise me if the 2018 was in excess of $150k, fully loaded with every Ford Performance goody available from the factory.
The CJ cars already come "loaded" with all the drag racing goodies. What other options can you add? Its a drag car so there is no interior.

What makes the car not street legal? Emissions? Tires? Suspension? Clearance? Do the doors even open? No insurance in their right mind will cover it? Will it bounce off a normal road?

Lack of air bags, the engine won't be emission certified. No cup holders or stereo gear for the softies. It's a door slammer so it is based on a normal bodied car. Probably a small fuel cell, not a regular sized tank.
I'd take it to the grocery store, but most here wouldn't.

It’s strictly a drag racer. If I remember, I don’t think the Cobra Jets come affixed with a VIN plate (and is sometimes referred to as a “body in white”).

Main thing is NO VIN number, and they start life as a "Body in White" all of which have NO VIN and are sold with a Bill of Sale.

Maybe they'd let you register it in Dubai if you were a rich member of the ruling family. :headbonk:

Nobody mentioned that it looks like it has the 2018+ updated front fascia, with one huge raised cowl hood.

They do have a serial number where the VIN normally resides on the dash.

So, what you do is buy a base model beater, and switch VIN's...no, wait that would be illegal...

We need a street version of this car!
What we don't need is another road course car.
We need a Demon slayer, We need this!
Who said road course car?

Updated front fascia? What is it that you are seeing?

50TH ANNIVERSARY COBRA JET NOW AVAILABLE FOR ORDER

DEARBORN - Ford Performance has begun accepting orders for the new 50th Anniversary 2018 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet. Place your order at your local Ford dealership to begin the ordering process.

Powered by a supercharged 5.2-liter Coyote V8, the new 50th Anniversary 2018 Ford Mustang Cobra jet will be capable of running the quarter-mile in the mid-8-second range.

Engineered by Ford Performance Parts, the purpose-built drag racer developed on the 2018 Ford Mustang platform is limited to 68 non-VIN production cars. It includes a supercharged 5.2-liter Coyote V8 and unique four-link rear suspension, along with a Ford 9-inch solid rear axle from Strange Engineering. Race add-ons include NHRA-certified roll cage, Racetech FIA seats, and a drag race-specific coil-over suspension with specially designed Weld Racing wheels with 50th anniversary badging.

The result is a turnkey racer that showcases many performance add-ons available from the Ford Performance Parts catalog for Mustang dating back to the original 1968 Cobra Jet. Offered in either Race Red or Oxford White, the 2018 Mustang Cobra Jet features an available commemorative 50th anniversary graphics package and anniversary badging.
