Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/ Austin is proud to present
this 1999 Ford Mustang Cobra in Ebony. In 1993, Ford decided to
unveil a new mustang, one that would set a modern precedence for
performance and so the SVT Cobra was born. In 1999 Ford redesigned
the Mustang using the new Edge design language that focused on
surface tension by adding creases to soft aerodynamic shapes,
essentially combined intersecting arcs. This led to a very
aggressive style for the mustang. For the first time independent
rear suspension had been fitted to a mustang, which changed the
route of the exhaust pipes, forcing them to go under the axle which
provided a unique look compared to the base and GT models. Power is
delivered via the DOHC 4.6-liter V-8 that was factory rated at 320
horsepower and 317 ft lbs. of torque to the rear wheels, all
passing through a Tremec 45 five-speed manual transmission and a
Traction-Lok limited-slip differential. SVT-specific suspension
components consist of linear-rate springs, gas-pressurized front
struts, and rear shocks. The stopping power comes from four-wheel
disc brakes with Cobra-branded calipers up front, and the car is
equipped with a traction control system. The cabin features
articulated front sport seats upholstered in Dark Charcoal leather
with gray suede inserts and Cobra-embroidered seat backs. Amenities
include a power-adjustable driver seat, air conditioning, cruise
control, power windows and mirrors, and a factory Mach 460 audio
system. The leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel fronts a
160-mph speedometer, an SVT-branded tachometer with a 6,800-rpm
redline, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, oil
temperature and coolant temperature. With only 1,755 Ebony SVT
Cobra made in 1999, this Cobra is one rare pony!
