2001 Ford Mustang Cobra SVT

Description

If you want a Mustang Cobra, this is the one to own and drive. This 2001 coupe comes with a fully independent suspension, five-speed transmission, and the 32-valve DOHC 4.6-liter V8 under the hood. And with a well-respected presentation, it's incredible a total package like this can also be so affordable.

Those who know Mustang Cobras, also understand that this generation is pivotal. This is when Ford's Special Vehicle Team (SVT) got to do everything they've always wanted to put on a Mustang. Understanding this significance must be why this coupe has been treated with added respect. The Cobra got unique pieces, like the front air dam, full-width rear spoiler, snake-bitten badges, and a unique domed hood - all looking quite nice today. The panels align well, and the black-painted SVT wheels look terrific against the deep blue paint. This True Blue factory color was only around for a few years, so it's pretty distinctive. You may choose to give it another respray if you're looking to keep this as a collector car. But we like the idea of getting a fun car that can be genuinely driven on day one, and then the value price leaves room in the budget for future improvements.

The odometer is believed to reflect the total actual mileage, and while that's only averaging about 4k miles annually, the condition of the interior makes it feel even less. The two-tone tan looks terrific against the deep blue paint, creating a full premium feeling inside. For you, it starts with those supremely comfortable seats. The performance buckets up front are deeply bolstered, and your power adjusts. They are trimmed in leather with a soft suede-like insert and Cobra stitching. White-faced analog gauges, a leather-wrapped wheel, a tilt column, power steering, and an ideally-placed stick shift were also all part of the performance package for the driver. Cold-blowing air conditioning, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, keyless entry, dual airbags, cruise control, and the factory AM/FM/cassette/CD stereo will keep everyone happy. It's a very relaxed and highly stock style. The only upgrade you may notice in this loaded and preserved coupe is the tint on the windows.

The engine bay is filled with good V8 power. It looks highly stock, including the tag that tells you who built this particular SVT motor. The DOHC 4.6-liter V8 is a thoroughly modern powerhouse 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 factory-rated 320 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque mean there's still power on tap when passing triple-digit speeds. You have complete control over this stout powerplant thanks to the five-speed manual transmission. And speaking of control, these SVTs are the only 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, and you'll love the upgraded exhaust note. So it's a powerful pony car with confident moves and an extra growl.

The sale comes complete with the owner's manual packet. Style, power, and substance all come together in this modern classic. So you know you don't want to miss it while it's affordable. Call now!
