Vehicle Description
This one was stored away to be an extraordinary car. After all, the
1996 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra was the debut of new power-packed DOHC
4.6-liter V8, and this is a very exclusive color only used to
launch this special pony car. So if you know how extraordinary this
one is, then you'll get excited about this 391 actual mile
survivor.
The reason why this one can grab your attention so quickly is
because the original Mystic Clearcoat Metallic is a special
color-shifting paint that was only offered in '96. Ford
specifically announced only 2,000 examples before shutting the
books on this chameleon paint. And with so few miles on this car,
you know the gloss it has in the pictures is no accident. In fact,
the only thing that shines brighter are the special 17-inch SVT
wheels. What is SVT? That's Ford's Special Vehicle Team. They are
the ones responsible for all the great design touches like the
unique fascia, hood scoops, and coiled snake badges, and they also
engineered this coupe to have the performance to back up its sporty
image.
There's a premium feeling on the inside, too. The SN-95 redesign
gave the Mustang a world-class cockpit, and the premium Cobra meant
a long list of comfort and convenience options. It starts with
those supremely comfortable black leather seats. The performance
buckets up front are deeply bolstered, which is a good idea
considering this car's performance. And yours power adjusts to give
you the ideal driving position. White-faced analog gauges, a
leather-wrapped wheel, and a five-speed stick were also all part of
the performance package for the driver. Plus, power windows, power
locks, keyless entry, cruise control, an upgraded AM/FM/cassette/CD
stereo, and ice-cold air conditioning will keep everyone happy.
Since this is a modern classic, you also get to take advantage of
features like dual airbags and anti-lock brakes. And as you look
over all the pictures, you begin to understand what kind of
tucked-away classic this is just by the details - like how the
Cobra trunk mat still looks brand new.
Since this car has been so preserved thus far, it should be no
surprise that it has its original performance-bred V8 under the
hood. This was the debut year for the DOHC 4.6-liter motor, and
it's 305 hp output really returned the Mustang Cobra to top-dog
status (it's significance is why we're not surprised someone tucked
away a first-year example like this.) And the originality on
everything from the factory decals to the Cobra-embossed intake
solidifies its collector-grade status. While this has averaged less
than 18 miles annually, it might be hard for the next owner to
resist adding to the odometer. After all, this was the pet project
for Ford's performance-loving engineers, so they tuned the
suspension for enthusiasts to have fun. Helping corral all this
performance is the power steering, sway bars front & rear, and
massive four-wheel disc brakes.
Complete with full owner's manual packet, this is the dream of a
modern Mustang collector. If that's you, don't let this
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip away. Call today!!!
