The 1996 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra is the car for those who like to drive. This was the first year for the hand-built performance 4.6-liter V8. Combine this numbers-matching DOHC motor with the five-speed manual and the luxury interiorand#44; and its an irresistible package that youd expect to pay much more for in this exceptionally affordable coupe. What youre going to notice about this Mustang Cobra is how all the important original components are in placeand#44; but then there are also plenty of upgrades. The paint is a good example. This is the factory-correct Crystal Whiteand#44; but it has been given a recent respray to make sure youve got plenty of great gloss when the sunshine hits it. This one still carries all the great Cobra touches up frontand#44; like the unique fasciaand#44; hood scoopsand#44; and coiled snake badges. But as you move down the carand#44; you start to notice the more aggressive body kit running down the side. It ends with crystal clear taillights and a wide spoiler that aggressively hugs the trunk. One piece that definitely did not need an upgrade is the set of shiny 17-inch Cobra factory wheels it still rides on. Theres a premium feeling on the insideand#44; too. The SN-95 redesign finally gave the Mustang a world-class cockpitand#44; and the Cobra got every comfort and convenience option in the Mustang catalog as standard equipment from the factory. For you it starts with those supremely comfortable tan leather power front seats. The performance buckets are deeply bolsteredand#44; which is a good idea considering this cars performance. White-faced analog gaugesand#44; a leather-wrapped wheeland#44; cruise controland#44; and a five-speed stick were also all part of the performance package for the driver. Plusand#44; power windowsand#44; power locksand#44; keyless entryand#44; an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereoand#44; and ice-cold air conditioning will keep everyone happy. Since this is a modern future classicand#44; you also get to take advantage of features like dual airbags and anti-lock brakes. All-new for 1996and#44; the DOHC 4.6-liter V8 rips through the gears with a zeal that the old 5.0 could only dream of. Smooth and willing to revand#44; it was highly developed by Ford to represent the very best powerplant they could muster. The 32-valve setup gives this a terrific bottom-endand#44; and the V8 grunt makes it feel like it could pull forever. Theres a huge aftermarket supplyand#44; and youll spot a few subtle upgrades like the cold air intakeand#44; performance spark plug wiresand#44; headersand#44; and a ferocious Flowmaster dual exhaust. This is a numbers-matching blockand#44; but the total package should give you a nice boost over the factorys 305 HP rating. The five-speed manual transmission snaps through the gears easilyand#44; and the factory upgraded the chassis to make it one the best handling American cars of its era. Helping corral all this performance is the power steeringand#44; massive four-wheel disc brakesand#44; and grippy Falken tires. Complete with a Marti Reportand#44; you know this SVT Cobra is pure desire on wheels. And that was before you saw the value price.
