Vehicle Description
1994 Ford Mustang Cobra Convertible Pace Car
Only 3 times in the long history of the "Greatest Spectacle In
Racing" the Indianapolis 500, has there been a Ford Mustang acting
as the official pace car: 1964, 1979, and 1994. Each of these years
Ford capitalized on this event by building tributes, and this time
is doing so in a very limited edition of 1,000. Each an identical
Rio Red, everything is standard, and all convertibles, these Cobras
have no decals, (although included), but a single Indy 500-winged
emblem on its decklid.
For consignment, a 2,873 title verified actual mile '94 Mustang
Cobra Pace Car convertible, confirmed, and in very nice condition.
Number 948 of 1,000, fully functional, and coming to us as a 2
owner car that was passed to the son, our consignor, from his
father who was the original owner. This car comes with a Mustang
Cobra Pace Car go kart, the original sales invoice and the SVT
certificate. Folks it does not get much better than this.
Exterior
Rio Red with the winged Indianapolis logo adorning the deck lid,
the Cobra Snake logo on the fenders, and Saddle canvas convertible
top all scream power,style and prestige. Styling cues from yore are
noted with the hockey stick cove on sides ending at the front of
the rear quarter panel. A Cobra specific rear spoiler is attached,
and a foursome of 17-inch polished Cobra alloy wheels are seen.
Round fog lamps unique to this Cobra are embedded into the front
fascia. All self adhesive decals have been applied in their correct
locations and are looking factory fresh, because like the paint,
they essentiallyare on this low mileage snake.
Hissssssssssssssss
Interior
Stitched Saddle leather buckets flank a curvaceous center console
which undulates its way up to a two tone black and tan dash.
Inserted are a white field of gauges with black markings, and on
the odometer is the confirmed 2,873 original miles. Black threaded
embroidered Indianapolis logos are at the top of each tall bucket.
A small but comfortable 2 plus 2 style back seat in stitched
leather as well stretches from door to door. The gearshift boot and
knob are stitched black leather. Cobra carpet floor mats which have
seen very few feet on them, are installed in the front. A CD player
and an AM/FM Radio /Cassette Player are in the front console and
pump out beautiful sound from the MACH speaker sound system.
Drivetrain
An SVT, (Special Vehicle Team), engineered GT40 headed 5.0 Liter V8
sits in the factory condition engine bay. Electronic fuel injection
is onboard to keep the ponies galloping and attached on the back is
a Borg Warner T5 5-speed manual transmission, which puts power back
to a Ford 8.8" 3.08 TracLok rear end. All looking factory fresh
down to the rubber boot over the distributor.
Undercarriage
4 wheel antilock disc brakes are on all four corners, and the
unibody frame, floor pans and rockers are solid and like new and
the untreated components show some surface rust growing on these
surfaces. Evidence that this car was garaged and has seen some road
time. The underside is very clean and definitely invasive rust
free. Providing the slithering ride is an independent coil sprung
front suspension and in the back a 4-link system with coil springs.
The factory headers and dual exhaust with the OEM mufflers are on
for your auditory pleasure.
Drive-Ability
In a word very nice, in 2 words smooth and powerful, and in 3 words
comfortable, good handling, awesome! No issues we noted were on our
drive, which we kept short as to preserve the low mileage. While
Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at
the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions
will be working at the time of your purchase.Here's a classic car
you can drive!
Having a special edition car bought to be enjoyed but well cared
for and garaged all that time, then finally putting it out there is
definitely to the potential buyer's benefit. Low production
numbers, a matching go kart, full documentation, and a snake make
this a somewhat rare car. Come in and have a look at the
celebratory Pace Car edition of America's favorite car.
