Who doesn't like a red convertible sports car with plenty of power?
This 1998 Ford Cobra SVT Convertible Supercharged rascal checks all
the boxes for coolness and speed. With just 37,059 actual miles, it
presents well inside and out. The aggressive hood with ram-air
scoops, clean black power convertible top, rear spoiler, and
factory Cobra SVT wheels give this Mustang the right performance
look.
All of the glass is in good condition, and the light lenses are
clean and illuminate properly. The correct Cobra badges are present
and placed where they belong, including the black Cobra lettering
across the rear bumper. Polished dual exhaust tips exiting
underneath finish the rear view just right and hint at the
performance waiting under the hood.
Inside, the black interior remains mostly stock and well-kept.
Aside from light, typical wear, the cabin presents very nicely. The
leather seats, door panels, carpets, and dashboard all show well
with no rips or tears. The center console houses the stick shift,
cup holders, and extra storage, and it remains in excellent
condition.
The stock steering wheel still feels right in place, while a boost
gauge mounted on the steering column keeps an eye on the added
forced induction. The factory gauge cluster remains clean and easy
to read. Cobra floor mats, clean door jambs, and a surprisingly
spacious and clean trunk for a convertible round out the
interior.
Under the hood sits a stout 4.6-liter DOHC 32-valve V8 topped with
a Vortec supercharger, delivering serious performance. Power is
sent through a Tremec T-45 5-speed manual transmission to a durable
8.8-inch rear axle with 4.10 gears, making this Mustang both
responsive and exciting to drive.
The suspension remains largely factory-style but benefits from
Maximum Motorsports strut tower mounts, an added K-member, and
upgraded rear suspension arms for improved handling and stability.
17-inch SVT wheels sit at all four corners wrapped in 255/40R17
tires. Power anti-lock disc brakes bring everything to a confident
stop, while dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers lets the
supercharged V8 breathe and sound the part.
