For Sale: 2003 Ford Mustang in Mesa, Arizona

The 2003 Ford Mustang Cobra SVT was built to be an absolutely awesome machine, and this custom one turns up the heat to 830 horsepower! And while you're going to see some awesome upgrades to the supercharged V8, don't forget that these are all-around terrific drivers thanks to the rare fully-independent sports suspension. So this coupe is not only as dark as midnight, but it's even meaner, too.


This was the debut year for a new look to the SVT Cobra. They called these Terminator cars because they kept the rare independent suspension while also upgrading the power. We'll get to how this is a juggernaut on the streets in a moment. But first, it's important to understand how serious Ford was about creating something ferocious, and thus, why this one looks so mean. The Cobra package includes a beefy front bumper, new rear fascia, full-width rear spoiler, and a heat extractor hood for the beast underneath. And while this is an exceptionally dark total package there is still room for brightwork. These polished features are there just to attract more attention to performance pieces, like the upgraded 18-inch alloys, large exhaust tips, snake-bitten badges, and the COBRA lettering in the rear bumper.


The interior is ready for you to get down to speedy business, but because this is a modern classic, you also get to have all the best amenities, too. So there's a long list of desirable features, like cold-blowing air conditioning, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, power steering, keyless entry/alarm, dual airbags, and the factory AM/FM/CD changer stereo. The front bucket seats are excellent sports car pieces finished in leather with suede inserts. Yours even power adjusts to the ideal driving position. The leather-wrapped steering wheel is on a tilt column, and so you can get a nice view of the white-faced SVT gauges. Plus, as you look around, you can see some special performance upgrades. The A-pillar has handy readouts for fuel pressure and boost. There's a large AutoMeter tach w/shift light mounted front and center on the dash, and it goes well with the Hurst short-throw shifter.


This short two-year run on Terminator cars are sought-after for upgrading. That's because Ford's Special Vehicle Team (SVT) made the 4.6-liter V8 exceptionally strong. It makes them a good base for tapping into some serious power, and we have over $60k in receipts showing a big investment in upgrading performance of this coupe. It starts with that big and bright beacon at the heart of this engine bay. It's a Whipple 3.4-liter supercharger. The motor underneath was completely built to be enhanced and fortified. It includes a Crusher inlet tube, 85lb racing injectors, Alky methanol injection, and headers feeding an X-pipe dual exhaust. This machine runs on race gas, and so you get that unmistakable scent of high-octane power. We even have the dyno sheet that proves this is now a 830 horsepower machine! You are in full control thanks to the six-speed manual transmission upgraded with a McLeod twin-disc racing clutch. And speaking of control, the SVT cars are the only fourth-gen Mustangs that came from the factory with a fully independent rear suspension - now upgraded with G Force half-shafts. Plus, a massive four-wheel power disc brake package, subframe connectors, and a limited-slip rear end completes this total performance setup.


The sale comes with the owner's manual packet, build receipts, and dyno sheet. This is the awesome Cobra that you always knew was out there. So if you're ready to be the real Terminator, call today!!!
