Details
This 2003 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra has been completely restored and exudes classic Mustang performance with its exclusive body trim and integrated functional air intakes. As the fourth generation evolved, this 2003 model convertible gained a supercharger and 32-valve Dual Overhead Cams that boosted power on the 4.6L V8 to 390 hp. This power is delivered to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. The SVT Cobra includes exclusive performance suspension and interior trim to remind you this is not your base Mustang convertible.
This Mustang shows 108,180 original miles on the odometer and received extensive servicing and restoration that included a host of new components to ensure performance for years to come. This work included a repaint in its original Redfire Clearcoat, a replacement black convertible top and a new interior complete with charcoal and graphite leather, carpets, steering wheel and an SVE 2000 Cobra style shifter. Mechanical work included rebuilding the transmission and replacing the shocks and radiator. Please note additional details below.
This convertible was purchased in Florida by the seller’s father and remained with its owner in Florida until 2023 when it was inherited by the seller and relocated to North Carolina. The included CarFax report notes detailed service records and a third-party inspection attests to the current condition and care taken to restore this vehicle to its original condition.
This Mustang SVT Cobra convertible is now available in North Carolina as a Premium Listing on CLASSIC.COM and is being offered by Parker Frazier.
About the model
The Ford Mustang SVT Cobra was a high-performance model that was part of the SN-99 "New Edge" Fourth Generation Mustang that continued on the preceding SN-95 SVT Cobra platform. Introduced for the 1999 model year, it featured updated exterior styling, a more powerful engine, and, for the first time, fitted to a Mustang, independent rear suspension. These cars were offered in coupe and convertible body styles, and featured a range of distinct styling touches. The interior was essentially unchanged from the previous SVT Cobra, however, cloth seats were no longer available, and minor updates were made over the generation. Ford claimed that the 4.6L V-8 had 320 horsepower; however, independent tests proved it to be less. The year 2000 saw an absence of the Cobra as Ford changed the engine from the Teksid block to the Windsor Aluminium Plant block for 2001, providing more accurate performance ratings. In 2003 Ford added a supercharger and 32-valve Dual Overhead Cams on the 4.6-liter engine, raising it to 390hp, with these cars commonly known as "Terminator." The Fourth Generation Mustang was the last to feature the SVT Cobra, being replaced by the Fifth Generation Mustang and its optional performance trims.
