2019 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Is A Ray Of Sunshine

2019 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Is A Ray Of Sunshine





It鈥檚 really rocking that yellow paint job. The Ford Mustang SVT Cobra was a pony car built from 1993 to 2004 in limited productions. It was a high-performance version of the Mustang and considered top-of-the-line, as it was positioned above the GT and Mach 1 during its production era. With that being said, Classic Auto Mall is pleased to announce this 1996 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra for sale. The biggest change for the 1996 SVT Cobra was the move to a brand-new, unique powertrain - a hand-assembled, all-aluminum, dual-overhead cam (DOHC) 4.6-liter modular V8 engine. Ford had chosen to build the DOHC power plant off-line using a dozen two-member teams, rather than mixing the thoroughbred Cobra V8 motor among lesser ones at the Romeo, Michigan facility. Each team would build one DOHC engine from start to finish and then sign off on their project before sending it on its way. The personalized touch is also a practice at Aston Martin, the most exotic nameplate owned by the Ford Motor Company. This 1996 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra produces 305 horses, a 65-horsepower increase over the previous year.





It鈥檚 good for a 5.9-second 0 to 60 time, a 13.9-second quarter-mile, and a top speed of 152 mph. 10,000 worth of improvements under the hood that were installed by a Ford Master tech, so you can rest assured that this bad boy runs extremely well. The power goodies include a Kenne Bell supercharger kit, JLT cold air intake, upgraded runners, and BBK chrome headers, among others. A Stage 2 clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel work with the 5-speed manual transmission to handle all the extra power. Apart from its impressive performance figures, this stunning SVT Cobra started its life out from the factory in Laser Red paint. It has since been resprayed in yellow as far as the eye can see, except for the badging. The car sports a rear spoiler, correct SVT and Cobra badging, and custom staggered American Racing wheels on all four corners. The interior features Corbeau Racing style seats have cloth-stitched inserts and vinyl bolsters with body-hugging contours that keep you snug in the seats and comfortable during long rides. The iconic Mustang twin eyebrow dashboard is a deep black color and has white-faced gauges for a nice accented appeal. The floor mats include the Cobra logo embroidered in gray with black backgrounds that keep the black carpets nice and clean. The undercarriage of this car is rust free and very clean, as well. All in all, this 1996 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra has all the power and looks that a muscle car should have in a bright yellow hue that will turn heads before you even start it up. Make it yours today and bring some added sunshine into your life.





At the Barrett-Jackson auction in 2012, Shelby American announced the release of the GT500 Super Snake. The Super Snake is offered in two supercharged engine packages which have power outputs of 662 hp (494 kW) and 850 hp (634 kW) respectively. The first fifty vehicles sold were available in limited edition colors, either in black with a triple gold stripe or white with a triple gold stripe. The 2013 GT500 Super Snake marked the discontinuation of the Shelby "Alcoa" Super Snake Wheels. New, lightweight forged aluminium wheel were produced and used instead. These wheels were also used on any GT500 (even 2007-2012 models) that entered the Shelby American Facility to be converted into a Super Snake version. The 2013 Super Snake was also offered with a wide body option. The WELD edition Super Snake had new wheels designed specifically and exclusively for Shelby and will be used on the next generations of Shelby Mustangs.





This car was in the Weld wheels SEMA show display. The hood of this WELD Super Snake is an all carbon fiber Super Snake hood. It also has carbon fiber trim parts, included side rocker panels, rear diffuser, spoiler and rear fenders. This car was the first of the latest generation wide body Super Snakes. This demonstrator of Shelby American was used as part of a ride-n-drive to help show drivers the primary difference between the stock GT500 and the GT500 Super Snake. The conversion includes 850HP, courtesy of a 4.0L Whipple Supercharger, and comes with the optional Watts link and upgraded interior. The 2013 Shelby 1000 was officially unveiled at the New York International Auto Show, under once again a Street Package, and a Track Package (S/C). The 2013/14 Shelby 1000 had the 5.8 L (1.3 imp gal; 1.5 US gal) V8 engine from the 2013/14 GT500. Like the 2012 Shelby 1000, the 2013/14 needed significant under-body and chassis strengthening modifications to handle the extra power from the engine. Driveshaft tunnel braces and billet-aluminium supports and suspension parts were used. 1966 Shelby Mustang GT-350 Paxton Comp. 1967 Shelby GT500 Convertible - Letter from A.O.





Just because, as an example, the demonstrator's paint is flawless that doesn't mean the car you get will be (and vice versa). I agree that it is nice to at least test drive a car with the same options, but even that can be challenging (as it is with most car makers). As an example there, back when I bought my Model S they had coil and air suspensions and cars with 19" rims vs. 21". I am very sensitive to the ride quality / sport handling balance of a car. It was a chore finding Teslas that had different combinations of these. Every new vehicle I have bought has been sight unseen (even 2 used ones). I had 4 Ford trucks and 3 Corvettes special ordered. I never drove a C6 or C7 before buying one. My deals are all done before I get to a dealership. Test drives are over rated. The big difference is neither Ford or Chevy ever gave me unrealistic statements of when my car would be ready.
