For Sale: 1996 Ford Mustang in Concord, North Carolina

This 1996 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra is the debut year for the exceptionally more powerful 4.6-liter V8. So when you have a coupe that's sleek, fast, distinct, and loaded, it makes for a desirable collectible offered for a terrific price.

SVT and Cobra are some of the most desirable names in blue oval performance, so when you have them on the same car, you know you've got the right machine. The Crystal White paint shows all the right signs of being the factory application, and it has the high gloss style to highlight how the whole care has seen good care over the decades. And the big polished presentation is only heightened by the bright 17-inch SVT wheels. What is SVT? That's Ford's Special Vehicle's Team. They are not only the ones responsible for all the great design touches like the unique fascia, hood scoops, and coiled snake badges, but they also engineered this coupe to have the performance to back up its sporty image.

Step inside, and this Cobra gets to show you its dark side. The combination of black leather with the white exterior is a timelessly attractive combo. It's a well-kept total style. In fact, while the odometer represents the full actual mileage, you have investments in updates, like fresher leather on the front bucket seats. The Cobra got just about every comfort and convenience option in the Mustang catalog as standard equipment from the factory. So the driver gets a great performance package that includes white-faced analog gauges, a leather-wrapped wheel, cruise control, a power seat, and a five-speed now with an upgraded shifter. Plus, there's cold-blowing air conditioning, power windows, power locks, keyless entry, and the upgraded premium factory AM/FM/cassette stereo with a separate CD player. This modern classic also lets you take advantage of safety features like dual airbags and anti-lock brakes.

All-new for 1996, the DOHC 4.6-liter V8. This is the ideal motor for terrific low-end power and plenty of muscle left in reserve to get you well above triple-digit speeds. This new powerplant was a significant leap over the already celebrated 5.0. That's why this is a milestone classic, and it's nice to see this looking so stock. There's a huge aftermarket to add even more power to the factory's 305 hp rating, but quite frankly, we're much more impressed with how tidy the well-respected engine bay is. The five-speed manual transmission snaps through the gears easily, and the factory upgraded suspension delivers true performance car handling. Helping corral all this performance pony is the power steering, massive four-wheel disc brakes, and grippy Toyo tires.

Complete with owner's manual, this is the collectible Cobra that you'll also love to drive. So it makes for a great modern classic offered for quite a nice price. Call now!
