For Sale: 1997 Ford Mustang in Mesa, Arizona

Vehicle Description

This is the Cobra you want to get your hands on right now. The 1997 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra is from the era of big power with the 4.6-liter V8, and they made over three times more coupes this year than convertibles. So it's amazing this low mileage, loaded, and highly original triple-black package is available for such an obtainable price.


When you're looking for a future classic, you want it collector-grade like this convertible. Everything looks stock right down to the coiled snake badges on the front fenders. The factory black color still has a good shine. It shows some signs of use on a car that's approaching the quarter-century mark, but averaging under 3k miles annually tells you this was more about weekend drivers than the daily grind. More evidence of a cherished Mustang is seen in the Cobra-specific front and rear fascias that are complete. You even have a bra keeping the hood protected. And there are great premium details, like fog lights, dual stainless exhaust, a rear spoiler, and the 17" factory five-star alloy wheels.


The black convertible top looks great in place, and beneath it is a black leather interior. So yes, this is an ultra-desirable triple-black car. The Cobra is a premium car that has a long list of luxury features. So the driver gets a great performance package that includes white-faced analog gauges, a leather-wrapped wheel, and a contouring bucket seat that power adjusts to the ideal driving position. Plus, power locks, keyless entry, cruise control, and the premium Mach 460 AM/FM/CD/cassette stereo will keep everyone happy. This modern classic also lets you take advantage of safety features like dual airbags and anti-lock brakes. Best of all, the power windows and power convertible top mean you never have to leave the driver's seat to go from enclosed comfort to a wind-in-your-hair experience. And the cold-blowing air conditioning keeps you comfortable even with the top down in the summertime.


Under the hood is the numbers-matching performance-bred V8. The DOHC 4.6-liter motor has the kind of versatile powerband that made this car an instant classic. The 32-valve setup gives this a terrific bottom-end, and the V8 grunt makes it feel like it could pull forever. There's a huge aftermarket supply, but this highly original package has been preserved to be fresh, clean, and a well-maintained representation of the finest from Ford. The numbers-matching five-speed manual transmission snaps through the gears easily, and the factory upgraded the chassis to make it worthy of the Cobra name. Helping corral all this performance is the power steering, massive four-wheel disc brakes, and grippy BF Goodrich performance tires.


The sale comes complete with the original window sticker, owner's manual, and Ford SVT (Special Vehicle Team) certificate. There's even a car cover so you can continue to cherish this Cobra. It's amazing you can get such a powerful and preserved triple-black convertible for such an affordable price. Call today!!!
