1999 Ford Mustang Cobra SVT Convertible

Description

If you want a Mustang Cobra, the 1999 model year is the one to own. This sleek drop-top comes with a fully independent suspension, a five-speed stick transmission, and a 32-valve DOHC 4.6-liter engine churning out 320 hp. So it's amazing this much performance and such a distinct package can be so affordable.

Those who know Mustang Cobras, also know that 1999 is pivotal. This is the first year that Ford's Special Vehicle Team (SVT) got to do everything they've always wanted to put into a Mustang. So this is already instantly collectible, even before you know that they built less than 320 convertibles in this distinct Electric Green Metallic. It's a terrific color that has the kind of vibrant style that seems to radiate power, and this car is coming off of a decade of long-term ownership where you can tell it was properly respected. So not only is the paint believed to be the factory application, but also the relatively low odometer is believed to reflect the full actual mileage. It makes for a nice look with a proper fit and finish. That really helps showcase the Cobra's special pieces, like the front air splitter, full-width rear spoiler, snake-bitten badges, and a special hood. The final touch is the set of 17-inch SVT alloy wheels that are so cool, they actually are the wheel of choice for many Shelby Cobra replicas today.

The tan convertible top has a clean look and snug fit. So the green and tan color combo have a very cool presentation. And since it all goes so well together, we're especially happy to see there's a premium tan interior under the folding roof. The upholstery shows more of the well-respected style with its clean presentation, and the supple leather feels great on the supportive front sports seats. White-faced analog gauges, a leather-wrapped wheel, a tilt column, cruise control, power steering, and a power seat are all part of the performance package for the driver. Plus, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, power mirrors, keyless entry, dual airbags, and an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth (the original also comes with the sale) will keep everyone happy. But the features you're going to enjoy the most are the power windows and power convertible top. Together, they mean you don't even have to leave the driver's seat when you want nothing getting in the way of hearing that exhaust growl. Plus, you can enjoy this top-down experience long into the summer season thanks to R134a air conditioning with a newer compressor.

Since this car has been so well cared for thus far, it should be no surprise that the performance-bred V8 looks so good. It's correct, right down to the special SVT plaque on the valve cover (keen eyes will spot the upgraded air intake.) The DOHC 4.6-liter V8 is a thoroughly modern motor that has created a whole new generation of Mustang fans. The 32-valve setup means plenty of low-end power to get off the line, and the 320 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque mean there's still power on tap when getting up to triple-digit speeds. You have complete control over this stout powerplant thanks to the five-speed manual transmission. And speaking of control, this is the first and only of the fourth-gen Mustangs that came from the factory with a fully independent rear suspension. Massive four-wheel disc brakes with ABS were also part of the Cobra package to deliver a truly capable sports car.

This rare color benchmark Cobra has been treated with the respect you would want for your future classic. So at this affordable price, we know it won't be staying here for very long. Don't miss out, call today!!!
