For Sale: 2003 Ford Mustang in Lithia Springs, Georgia

Say hello to the Terminator. It was the nickname Ford gave the 2003 Ford Mustang Cobra Convertible. This was the debut year for a unique car that had both a supercharged V8 and a fully independent suspension. That means this pony car is fast, sharp, and absolutely dominant. That's why this one-owner car has the low mileage, great care, and correct paperwork that you get on an instant collectible.

This car has an awesome style. Deep vents in the hood, a special spoiler, plenty of coiled Cobra badging, and big exhaust tips give it an attitude from every angle. The Torch Red paint has a terrific glow you want in a sunshine-friendly convertible. It's the factory-correct color and factory-applied finish. It continues to look so good today because you have a car that has averaged less than 750 miles annually. We also like the bright red because it provides a nice contrast to draw attention to this car's dark side. The front end has a special bumper that lets this monster inhale deeper, the headlights have smoked backgrounds, and you've got a crisp black convertible top. It creates the right total style for a very mean machine like this.

While we like how the roof added to the dark overall package, with the flip of a switch, it powers down to reveal an even more attractive interior. The graphite and gray still go with the dark style, but it adds sophistication to go with the speed. These are leather seats with suede-like inserts that have an upper-class appearance, especially because the whole interior looks and feels brand new. This is loaded with the best features, like power windows, a power driver's seat, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, cruise control, dual front airbags, ABS, and a premium AM/FM CD changer stereo. And it's always nice to have cold-blowing air conditioning in a convertible. And the SVT Cobra adds special pieces, like the white-faced gauges, upgraded pedals, and Cobras embossed in the seatbacks. And the only upgrade you're likely to notice in the full stock-style setup is a roll bar, and that's just a nice piece to add strength to the chassis in this true driver's drop-top.

The Terminator name has everything to do with the motor, and this low mileage example loves to keep it clean to put on full display. The DOHC 4.6-liter V8 is a 32-valve motor with the Special Vehicle Team (SVT) added an Eaton supercharger on top. And don't forget to point out the SVT plaque on the valve cover that tells you who built the specialty motor (see, Mercedes AMG cars are not the only ones who have this!) You take full control of this full 390 horsepower power package thanks to the six-speed manual transmission. And speaking of control, the SVT cars are the only fourth-gen Mustangs that came from the factory with a fully independent rear suspension. Plus, a massive four-wheel power disc brake package and grippy BF Goodrich gForce Sport tires on the special SVT 17-inch wheels mean you won't be able to resist adding to the low odometer.

The sale comes complete with the SVT certificate, original window sticker, and paperwork from the Mustang 40th anniversary that this car attended. This is the one-owner convertible that you can really tell has been treated as a collectible from day one. So if you're looking to own a legacy, don't miss this Cobra. Call today!!!
