Vehicle Description
We love the 1999 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra because it was a truly
specialty machine with a hot V8 and a fully independent suspension.
So a low-mileage example like this is instantly attractive -
especially when it's so well documented.
There's just something instantly attractive about a Mustang
finished in a sleek black. Since this is a car that has averaged
about 1800 miles annually, there's a shine on what's believed to be
the factory finish that tells people it has been treated with
respect. And we can understand why a car like this would remain
looking so good as it approaches the age of vintage car plates.
This was the debut year for the new generation Cobra, which is
always good for collectability. It gave the already
aggressive-looking New Edge Mustang a more intimidating look with a
sculpted front fascia, heat extractor hood, large rear spoiler, and
iconic coiled snake badging. Plus, a cool detail is the set of
Borbet Sport wheels that look like the SVT alloys of earlier pony
cars.
The dark charcoal interior continues the kind of dark and mean
style that fits with a true Cobra. But what's most appealing is
that the interior has been treated with the same respect and care
as the exterior. The panels are nice and complete, the carpeting
remains plush, the leather feels supple, and so you're quite happy
to spend time in this modern classic. It's also great because this
is loaded with features. You get cold-blowing air conditioning,
power windows, keyless entry/alarm, power locks, cruise control, a
cup holder center console, dual airbags, ABS, and a premium Mach
460 AM/FM/cassette stereo with separate CD player. Plus, it's a
proper driver. The high-back bucket seat power adjusts to your
ideal position. Your left hand loves the leather-wrapped steering
wheel, your right one is instantly attracted to the upgraded Hurst
shifter, and those crisp white-faced gauges are pure sports car
cool.
Since this car has been properly respected thus far, it should be
no surprise that the performance-bred V8 looks so good. It's
correct, right down to the special SVT plaque on the valve cover.
The DOHC 4.6-liter V8 is a thoroughly modern motor that has created
a whole new generation of Mustang fans. The 32-valve setup means
plenty of low-end power to get off the line, and the 320 hp and 310
lb-ft of torque mean there's still power on tap when getting up to
triple-digit speeds. You have complete control over this stout
powerplant thanks to the five-speed manual transmission. And
speaking of control, this is the first and only of the fourth-gen
Mustangs that came from the factory with a fully independent rear
suspension. Massive four-wheel disc brakes with ABS were also part
of the Cobra package to deliver a truly capable sports car.
Another sign of this coupe's respect is the level of paperwork that
comes with the sale. It includes the original window sticker, an
SVT letter of authenticity, maintenance records, and the owner's
manual packet. This SVT coupe is just a year away from being ready
for vintage license plates in many states, and the full midnight
example has the power, pedigree, and preservation to be a true
classic right now. Call today!!!
