Vehicle Description
When it comes to the new group of young classics, a Cobra like this
is king. The 1993 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra packs rarity, power, and
poise in a well-preserved package. So it's time to grab this bright
and loaded specialty machine while it's still affordable.
The third-generation Mustang was having its swan song in 1993, but
the Special Vehicle Team (SVT) at Ford decided to send it off with
something extraordinary. They made this final year the one and only
time for the Cobra package. The exterior was given subtle upgrades
with a new grille up front, vintage pony emblem in place of the
blue oval, and chrome cobras on the fenders. The rear has some
interesting features such as a unique SVT spoiler, and a new light
arrangement not seen since the rare Mustang SVO. The 7-spoke,
17-inch aluminum wheels are unique to these one-year only Cobras,
and so it's great to have them looking so sharp. This is a factory
Teal car, and that just seems to represent its era nicely. Of
course, that shine is also courtesy of a quality respray later in
life. A car like this deserves to have a good shine, because you
want it to attract attention so you can talk about its rarity.
There were only 4,993 Cobras in this single-year batch, and only
1,335 were finished in Teal.
The odometer is believed to reflect this car's full actual mileage
(averaging less than 3k miles annually.) That means less use than a
daily driver, and the well-preserved interior really highlights
this care. Ford had one of the best bucket seats of the era to hug
your body, and these are not only finished in a comfy gray cloth,
but also there's power bolstering for all-day comfort. And speaking
of all-day comfort, the factory air conditioning makes this easy to
enjoy any time of year. There are a ton more desirable features,
like power windows, power locks, power mirrors, rear defroster, cup
holders, tinted windows, the factory AM/FM/cassette stereo, a
driver airbag, and a sunroof.
What makes the Cobra so special is the extra engineering. The SVT
department started out with the trusty 5.0-liter V8 block, and then
did some in-house shopping at Ford Motorsports. This includes the
larger valves of the GT-40 cylinder head package, high-flow fuel
injectors, performance camshaft, revised computer programming, and
a GT-40 intake. The result was one of the meanest cars Ford slipped
out the back door, and you take full control of it all with Borg
Warner T-5 five-speed manual transmission. This is a
correct-looking package right down to the decals. In fact, even the
suspension pieces appear to still have markings. And while you're
looking at the undercarriage photos, also take note of the
suspension upgrades such as sway bars front & rear, improved rear
springs, and four-wheel disc brakes. The was even given an engine
bay brace and frame connectors to keep it feeling solid on the
road.
This is the legend of the single-year Cobra, and you're looking at
the rarest color. So you know you can't miss this solid all-around
stunner. Call now!
