Vehicle Description
One-owner convertibles are always desirable. But it gets to a whole
new level of rarity and desire when you find it on a 1994 Ford
Mustang SVT Cobra that's also an official Indy 500 Pace Car
Edition. So the attractiveness here goes well beyond the value
price.
1994 was the debut year for the new Mustang styling, and this style
arguably started a revolution second only to the original cars
launched three decades earlier. So a benchmark Mustang like this
needs to have all the right touches in place. The Rio Red paint is
largely original to this car. It has been treated with the proper
care, and so it shows the less use you'd expect on a one-owner car
that has only averaged around 2,100 miles annually. There's
excellent panel fit, shining SVT alloys, and an overall look of
quality that has endured for the decades. And that makes for the
right kind of distinction for a car preparing for full classic
status. After all, it's eligible for vintage plates/benefits in
many states, and a few more are just a couple of years away. The
reason why something like this would be treated so special is
because of its provable true lineage. Ford had not made a Mustang
Cobra convertible in decades, and there were only a select few that
were crafted to commemorate the 1994 Indy 500 pace car. There were
only 1,000 examples produced, and so all the Cobra ragtops were
made to be just like it (the new/unused Indy 500 Pace Car exterior
decals even come with the sale in their official box!)
If you think the tan roof looks attractive against the bright red
paint, then you'll love the tan interior beneath it. Special
edition cars like this come loaded, and the premium feeling starts
with the seats. These are covered in supple leather, and the
driver's side power adjusts to the ideal comfort position. The
car's respected feeling is reflected in the well-preserved
condition of these bucket seats, and that's a good thing because
the special edition traded in galloping pony in the seatbacks for
the exclusive Indy 500 logos. This has all the best luxury
features, like power locks, keyless entry, power steering, tilt
steering column, cruise control, dual airbags, anti-lock brakes,
and the premium AM/FM/cassette/CD stereo. Power windows and a power
convertible top mean never having to leave the driver's seat when
opening this one up to the world, and cold-blowing air conditioning
means staying cool even in the summertime. And you know you'll want
to hit the road in this modern classic. A leather-wrapped steering
wheel, sporty white-faced gauges, and the crisp action of the stick
shift will get your enthusiast's heart pumping.
Ford's iconic and powerful 5.0-liter V8 was revised and upgraded
for 1994, giving the Cobra a total of 240 horsepower. The cast
aluminum intake manifold was unique to this model, along with GT40
iron heads, roller rockers, and valve springs. And the one-owner
care means this one retains a fully stock style, right down to the
decals and the rubber boot over the distributor. So it's easy to
believe this is an all-original setup. The exceptional performance
of a fuel-injected V8 and the excellent control of the five-speed
manual transmission come together to make sure this one is always
ready for fun. Handling is also worthy of the Cobra name thanks to
the more sport tires, sway bars front & rear, and four-wheel power
disc brakes.
The admiration for a low-volume specialty Cobra only grows with
time, and so this is a rare opportunity to get a one-owner example
for a value price. Call today!!!
