For Sale: 1997 Ford Mustang in Lavergne, Tennessee

This is the Cobra you want to get your hands on right now. The 1997 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra is from the era of big power with the 4.6-liter V8, and they made more than double the number of coupes this year as convertibles. So it's amazing this triple-black package is available for such an obtainable price.

The Cobra name should already make you weak in the knees, but take a moment to check out the whole package. After all, a power pony car in all-black is always quite alluring. We think you'll appreciate how this has a nice gloss in the sunshine (because that's where a convertible belongs) but it's the kind of presentation that makes it driver-easy and driver-ready. After all, the cars from SVT are made to be enjoyed to the fullest. What is SVT? That's Ford's Special Vehicle Team. They are the ones not only responsible for all the great design touches like the unique fascia, hood scoops, power dome, spoiler, and coiled snake badges, but they also engineered this convertible to have the performance to back up its sporty image.

The well-fitting black top powers down to reveal a full black interior. So the paint, roof, and interior deliver the ultra-desirable triple-black style. The Cobra was not only sporty, but it was also a loaded premium vehicle. So you get power locks, keyless entry, cruise control, and the premium factory AM/FM/CD/cassette stereo will keep everyone happy. This modern classic also lets you take advantage of safety features like dual airbags and anti-lock brakes. Best of all, the power windows and power convertible top mean you never have to leave the driver's seat to go from enclosed comfort to a wind-in-your-hair experience. And the cold-blowing air conditioning keeps you comfortable even with the top down in the summertime. The leather upholstery is quite inviting, and so you can really feel this is a driver's car. Plus, you get a great performance package that includes white-faced analog gauges, a leather-wrapped wheel, a contouring bucket seat, and an ideally placed shifter.

What makes the Cobra awesome is the motor. The DOHC 4.6-liter motor has the kind of versatile powerband that made this car an instant classic. The 32-valve setup gives this a terrific bottom-end, and the V8 grunt makes it feel like it could pull forever. There's a huge aftermarket supply, but this highly original package has been well-maintained to remain a representation of the finest from Ford. The five-speed manual transmission snaps through the gears easily, and the factory upgraded the chassis to make it worthy of the Cobra name. Helping corral all this performance is the power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, and BF Goodrich performance tires.

This drop-top has crossed the quarter-century threshold, and that makes it ready for vintage registration in many states. So it's being recognized as the new classic of true classics, which is why it's amazing you can get such a powerful Cobra convertible for such an affordable price. Call today!!!
