Right now on AutoHunter, you can find this 1996 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra convertible, which is powered by a 4.6-liter DOHC V8 paired with a Borg-Warner T45 five-speed manual gearbox. Finished in Black Clearcoat and equipped with a black power convertible top over a Black leather interior, this 30,000-mile performance car is now offered by the selling dealer in Oregon with the original window sticker, top boot, a clean AutoCheck report, and clear title.
For the 1996 model year, Ford’s Special Vehicle Team (SVT) updated the Mustang Cobra with a new hood, rocker panels, tail lamps, spoiler, rear valance, and dual exhaust outlets. This particular Cobra comes in the sleek and sinister combination of triple black for the paint, convertible top, and interior. Exterior features include a Cobra-specific front fascia with fog lamps, hood vents, power mirrors with black caps, tinted windows, side scoops, and a heated glass rear window.
A set of chrome 17-inch five-spoke wheels with 245/45 BFGoodrich g-Force Super Sport A/S tires let this Mustang show just how special a vehicle it is.
Black leather covers the front buckets and rear seats. Comfort and convenience features include power windows and locks, cruise control, tilt steering column, air conditioning, and factory Mach 460 AM/FM/CD/cassette stereo.
Instrumentation consists of a 160-mph speedometer, 8,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the fuel level, temperature, voltage, and oil pressure — all with white dials. The odometer shows 30,275 original miles; the most recent mileage reading of 19,854 miles on the AutoCheck report was logged in July 2009.
Under the hood is a 4.6-liter DOHC V8 with four-valve heads that helped it hit factory ratings of 305 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and 300 lb-ft of torque at 4,800 rpm. Channeled through the Borg-Warner T45 five-speed manual, those figures enabled the SVT Cobra to reach 60 mph in 5.9 seconds and finish the quarter mile in 13.99 seconds and 101. 6 mph, according to the 1996 SVT Cobra’s brochure.
As part of its 1996 model year updates, Ford revised the SVT Cobra’s front suspension geometry to reduce dive, improve turn-in, and provide better communication through the power rack-and-pinion steering, which was equipped with new helically-cut gears for better precision and feel. Power reaches the road through an 8.8-inch rear end with a limited-slip differential and 3.27:1 gears. Four-wheel power disc brakes with ABS keep this Cobra from sinking its fangs into a ditch or a tree.
