Vehicle Description
1994 Ford Mustang Cobra Indy Pace Car
Only 3 times in the long history of the "Greatest Spectacle In
Racing" the Indianapolis 500, has there been a Ford Mustang acting
as the official pace car: 1964, 1979, and 1994. Each of these years
Ford capitalized on this event by building tributes, and this time
is doing so in a very limited edition of 1,000. Each an Identical
Rio Red, everything is standard, and all convertibles, these Cobras
have no decals (although included) but a single Indy 500 winged
emblem on its deckled.
For consignment a 50,432 mile '94 Mustang Pace Car, confirmed, and
in very nice condition. Number 402 of 1,000 purchased and held all
this time by 1 owner. Folks it does not get any better than
this.
Exterior
Rio Red with the winged Indianapolis logo adorning the deck lid,
the Cobra Snake logo on the fenders and tan canvas convertible top.
A rear spoiler is attached, and a foursome of 17 x 8 inch 5 spoke
alloy wheels are seen. Round fog lamps unique to this Cobra are
imbedded into the front fascia. Decals and convertible top boot are
missing.
Interior
Stitched tan leather buckets flank a curvaceous center console
which undulates its way up to a two-tone black and tan dash. Inset
are white field gauges with black markings, and the odometer shows
50,432 original miles. Black threaded embroidered Indianapolis
logos are at the top of each tall bucket. A small but comfortable
2+ 2 style back seat in stitched leather as well, stretches from
door to door. The gearshift boot and knob are stitched black
leather. Cobra carpet floor mats which have seen some use, are
installed in the front. A CD player and an AM/FM Radio/Cassette
Player are in the front console, and pump out beautiful sound from
the MACH speaker sound system. Noted there is something sprayed on
the instrument cluster plastic front, and we could not remove
it.
Drivetrain
An SVT (Special Vehicle Team) engineered GT-40 Fortified 5.0 Liter
V8 sits in the factory condition engine bay. Attached is a
Borg-Warner T5 5-speed manual transmission, which puts power back
to a 3.08:1 Traction-Lok rear end.
Undercarriage
4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes are on all four corners, and the
Unibody frame, floorpans and rockers, show some surface rust
growing on these surfaces. Evidence that this car was garaged and
has seen some road time. The underside is very clean and definitely
invasive rust free.
Drive-Ability
In a word very nice, in 2 words smooth and powerful, and in 3 words
comfortable, good handling, awesome! A few issues we noted were CD
stuck in player, power driver's seat in-op. No convertible top boot
and right rear window needs to be raised by hand.
Having a special edition car bought to be enjoyed but well cared
for and garaged all that time, then finally putting it out there is
definitely to the potential buyers benefit. Low production numbers,
and a snake make this a somewhat rare car. Come in and have a look
at the celebratory Pace Car edition of America's favorite car.
