The Cobra SNAKE emblem was used on some of the 60s Shelby's logo, but the cars were never called Cobras. In 1968 1/2, there was a "Cobra-jet" Mustang, which was designated for the use of the new 428 CJ engine. The Boss 351 used the 351 CJ engine as well, but the car was not called a Cobra. No Mustang wore the Cobra name until 1976.

As for the big cars, the Torino was like the 68 Mustang, in that you could order a Cobra Jet motor when they came out. But the actual Torino COBRA came out in 1970, with the introduction of the 429CJ and 429SCJ motors.

I do not believe any other Fords wore the Cobra name back then (but I could be wrong).
