Ford invested heavily in the Cobra to make it different from the GTand#44; and by 1999and#44; the Mustang Cobra was a world-class performance car with a silky-smooth 32-valve V8and#44; chiseled lines that were also traditionaland#44; and a leather-lined interior that looked like it belonged in a much more expensive car. Todayand#44; these are screaming bargainsand#44; offering 300-horsepower performance for pennies on the dollar. The truly shocking thing about this 1999 Cobra is that its almost completely unmodified. If youre familiar with Mustangsand#44; then youre familiar with the worlds biggest performance aftermarketand#44; and its downright amazing that none of those hop-up parts have found their way onto this car. With just one owner from new and only 21and#44;953 original milesand#44; this white Cobra keeps to the stock look and has obviously never been raced or abused. The paint is in decent conditionand#44; but a professional buff job would probably really wake it up and transform the car in a big way. Cobras received their own front and rear fasciasand#44; so theyre easy to identify on the rolland#44; and they werent so crazy low that the chin took a beating. This car has been well-keptand#44; and given the usual life of a Mustang of any typeand#44; thats a rare find indeed. The black leather interior is simply gorgeous. Is this really a Mustang? The nicely bolstered seats are grippyand#44; which is what you want in a car that can corner like thisand#44; and there are Cobra emblems everywhere you look (whatand#44; was this car built by Carroll Shelby?). Cobras came only one way: loaded. As a resultand#44; things like A/Cand#44; power windowsand#44; locksand#44; and drivers seatand#44; cruise controland#44; and a tilt wheel were standard equipment. Cobras also got special white-faced gauges from the factory and youll note the redline on that tach is way up there by 7000 RPM. The seats show very little wearand#44; again a testament to both the quality of the Cobra and the care it has received. Everything worksand#44; of courseand#44; and your new Cobra only came with a 5-speed manual gearbox in 1999. The back seat is reasonably-sized for adults and theres a nicely shaped trunk with plenty of roomand#44; making this a machine you can actually use as a real car. The 4.6-liter DOHC 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 bottom-end was virtually indestructible and the heavy-breathing heads made it feel like it could pull forever. And yesand#44; there is an insane number of performance upgrades availableand#44; none of which made it on to this car. That means no street racingand#44; no abuseand#44; no questionable workmanshipand#44; making this the right car for the guy who appreciates a great pedigree. The 5-speed manual transmission shifts easily and the 8.8-inch rear end will stand up to the 4.6 for years to comeand#44; as the aftermarket has proven time and again; these cars are hard to break. The chassis is a lot stouter than the old 5.0 you rememberand#44; and with that unusual limited production independent rear suspensionand#44; the Cobra rides rather well. Giant 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS take the drama out of all that horsepower and live behind some of the most gorgeous wheels ever fitted to a Ford. Those 5-spoke alloys carry stock-sized 245/45/17 performance radialsand#44; so its ready to rock. With just one owner and low milesand#44; this is an awesome way to get some big horsepower Mustang fun with big horsepower without breaking the bank. Call today! |
