Vehicle Description
The 1993 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra was the first factory performance
Mustang of the modern era and is now one of the most collectible
Fox body Mustangs, second only to the SVT Cobra R. Created by the
dedicated driving enthusiast engineers from Ford's Special Vehicles
Team, the SVT Cobra was built to satisfy the desires of the
knowledgeable driving enthusiast. Launching at the 1992 Chicago
Auto show, the SVT Cobra was destined to be a one year only model,
with just 4,993 units produced. Available only in the hatchback
body style, and only with a manual transmission, the SVT Cobra was
a comprehensive performance package. Starting with the engine, SVT
engineers utilized the GT's H.O. 302CI short block but added a
roller camshaft with roller rockers produced for Ford by Crane
Cams, GT40 cast iron heads and intake, a 65mm throttle body, and a
larger mass air flow sensor, and 24lb/hr. fuel injectors. These
changes resulted in a net increase of 30hp over the stock GT's
205hp, and an engine that felt noticeably livelier in the upper RPM
range. This fully awakened 5.0L V-8 was then mated exclusively to
the Borg Warner T-5 five speed manual transmission. The driveline
was beefed up with a heavy-duty clutch and driveshaft, and the
standard Ford 8.8-inch rear axle was available only with the 3.08:1
ratio. The SVT Cobra chassis was improved with specially valved
shocks and struts courtesy of Tokico, bushings were stiffened in
the upper control arms while the front springs were softened
slightly to overcome the stiffer sidewall of the upgraded
P245/45ZR17 Goodyears wrapped around SVT Cobra specific 17 aluminum
directional wheels. On the outside, the SVT Cobra received very
subtle changes. Paint colors were limited to Vibrant Red, Teal
Metallic, and Black, with SVT Cobra specific front grille, rear
tail lamps with amber turn signals, and Cobra snake emblems on the
front fenders replacing the GT's 5.0 badge. The interior of the
Cobra was limited to either grey or black with cloth or leather
seats, and the only SVT Cobra specific item was the now super rare
Cobra floor mats. The sunroof became an available option after
February of 93' and can be found on this fully loaded March 93'
built Vibrant Red Cobra. Sold new at Russell Barnett Ford-Mercury
(Remember Mercury?) in Tullahoma, TN, this beautiful SVT Cobra is
equipped with the Preferred Equipment Package 250A($1,455),
Clearcoat Paint ($91.00), Flip-Up Open-Air Roof ($355), 4-Way Power
Driver's Seat ($183), Rear Window Defroster ($170), and Premium
AM/FM Stereo ($321). All these items plus destination and delivery
charges brings the grand total to $21,055.00 for this
top-of-the-line performance Mustang. If only we knew now what we
didn't know then right? The fox body Mustang has exploded in value,
and the SVT Cobra is top of the money mountain with good reason.
This SVT Cobra shows only 25,313 miles on the clock and drives
exactly like it did the day it was driven off that Tennessee Ford
dealer's lot. The steering is devoid of play, the body is tight and
rattle free, and the transmission shifts so smooth from one gear to
the next you need only use a fingertip. Pop your Pearl Jam CD in
the stereo, crank it up, put your best shades on, and all of a
sudden, it's the summer of 93' again and all is right in the world.
This is truly a time machine back to the good ol' days! This SVT
Cobra comes with all original documentation, including owner's
manuals, locking lug nut kit, original window sticker, SVT Birth
Certificate and original leather sunroof bag. Believed to be 1 of
only 48 Vibrant Red, Opal Cloth, sunroof Cobras produced, this is a
blue-chip investment vehicle that will only continue to appreciate
for the foreseeable future. Act fast before this snake slithers
