Gateway Classic Cars proudly presents this 1999 Ford Mustang SVT
Cobra Convertible, a true modern muscle icon and one of the most
desirable New Edge Mustangs ever produced. Finished in sleek black
over a matching black interior and paired with the highly
sought-after 5-speed manual transmission, this Cobra represents
everything enthusiasts love about Ford's Special Vehicle Team
engineering.
What sets this Cobra apart from an ordinary Mustang GT is what's
under the hood. While the standard Mustang GT of the era was
equipped with Ford's 4.6-liter SOHC 2-valve V8, the SVT Cobra
received a hand-assembled, performance-bred 4.6-liter DOHC 32-valve
V8. Featuring four valves per cylinder, dual overhead camshafts,
improved cylinder head flow, and a much higher-revving nature, the
Cobra engine was engineered to breathe significantly better than
its 2-valve counterpart. The result is a powerplant that delivers a
more aggressive top-end charge, sharper throttle response, and a
distinctly exotic exhaust note that separates it from the everyday
Mustang GT.
This example remains all original and completely bone stock, a
rarity in the Cobra world where modifications are often the norm.
For collectors and enthusiasts alike, finding an unmodified SVT
Cobra is becoming increasingly difficult, making this car
especially appealing. The factory-engineered combination of the
high-performance 32-valve V8 and the driver-focused 5-speed manual
transmission offers the pure Mustang experience exactly as SVT
intended.
The independent rear suspension, exclusive to the Cobra, further
distinguishes it from the solid-axle GT, providing improved ride
quality and handling characteristics. Combined with SVT-specific
styling cues, Cobra badging, performance brakes, and unique wheels,
this Mustang carries a level of exclusivity that continues to drive
collector interest.
Whether you're looking for a weekend cruiser, a future collectible,
or a piece of Ford SVT history, this 1999 Mustang SVT Cobra
Convertible checks all the boxes. Unmodified, highly original, and
equipped with the legendary 32-valve 4.6-liter V8 and 5-speed
manual transmission, this Cobra stands as a reminder of an era when
Ford's SVT division built some of the most exciting performance
cars on the road.
