Vehicle Description
2001 Ford Mustang Cobra
The Ford SVT Mustang Cobra is a high-performance Mustang that has
been heavily modified by Ford's Special Vehicle Team (SVT).
Available in either coupe or convertible, the SVT Cobra's main
calling cards are a totally different engine, a revised suspension,
and an improved interior.
For consignment, a 2001 Mustang Cobra who's firepower comes from a
4.6 liter, 32-valve DOHC V8. While based on Ford's family of
modular V8s, the Cobra's engine is considerably more advanced. The
engine produces 320 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 317 ft-lbs. of
torque at 4,750 rpm. And it's a convertible!
Exterior
All bathed in B7 Zinc Yellow this car is not going to get lost in a
parking lot. A big front splitter goes mean and low to the ground
and frames the otherwise Mustang front grille with galloping horse
in its center. Rocker flared fairings hover below the throwback
hockey stick cover above in the doors and rear quarter, and on back
a high spoiler keeps things grounded. In lieu of chromed trimmings
all is either body color or black as with the glass trimmings. A
black canvas convertible top in like new condition is on top. Just
above the rockers is a black stripe with a C O B R A badge inside
of it. On back the triple taillights, now nice aero designed above
a body matching neoprene crash bumper. Large polished stainless
exhaust tips peek out from either side under the bumper. Satin
silver 17-inch Cobra wheels are all around, and you can see the big
brakes within the spokes.
Interior
Dark Charcoal sculpted high buckets are flanking a rounded center
console in lighter gray. These chairs have a light gray tuck and
roll snarling cobra stitched suede for their inserts. A small 2
plus 2 rear seat is shoehorned in. In the console we see a Hurst
shifter mounted, and as the center console rises to the dash it
takes the edge lines and forms them into dual curved "eyebrows" for
the dash. One side houses the instruments, and the other a small
curved shelf and glove box below. This is all original equipment.
Factory condition black carpeting is flooding the floors. Nicely
sculpted door panels are in black on either side. All looking good
and original.
Drivetrain
A 4.6 Liter DOHC 32 valve V8 which produces a whopping 320hp is in
and is fed by EFI. A Tremec 3650 5-speed manual transmission is on
back, and Ford provides the 8.8 inch 3.27 limited slip rear
axle.
Undercarriage
Slightly patina cast aluminum aplenty and all looking just fine.
Floor pans are excellent and a Bassani cat back exhaust system is
noted coming from the engine on to the back exit. Independent coil
spring suspension is on all 4 corners. Power disc brakes are up
front and also on back.
Drive-Ability
A quick startup, lower the top and off to the test track I went in
a yellow flash. Here it handles very nicely, you can feel the 320
horses pushing you along, and braking brings all this fun to halt.
All functions were working just swimmingly.
For its day it was a definite powerhouse. Today it's a mere classic
with 320hp, a convertible top, and that steaming yellow paint is
all excellent. All you have to do now is "pony" up the dough!
