2004 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Convertible

For consignment, a 2004 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra convertible with a title verified 60,694 actual miles. This is Cobra #1417 of 1,896 convertible Cobras built in 2004 and one of 209 droptop snakes in red.

Exterior
If youre not careful, youll call this Read me my rights Red but most enthusiasts know it as Torch Red, with full monochromatic coverage contrasting sharply with the sandwich of black provided by the canvas tip and 40 series tires wrapped around the 17-inch SVT Cobra wheels. The coveted Cobra emblem is on the fenders and the floating horse up front has been replaced with a coiled snake. Indents in the hood are capped by heat extractors and while upfront we note the distinctive oval bezel that houses the fog lights which no mortal GT has. If you squint after this car blows by you, youll see the Cobra name stamped large in the rear valance and angle cut exhaust tip kicking sand in your face. Imperfections include hazy headlights, various chips, scratches, scuffs, loose seams on the canvas top, drip like inclusions, a ding on the windshield frame, paint giving way to surface rust in a wheel opening, edge wear, rock spray, orange peel, and curb rash.

Interior
Nothing about the door panels differ from your standard GT and includes the same, swoopy features in charcoal plastic and carpeted insert, both sides presenting cleanly. Leather bolster and suede inserts create attractive and supportive seats and this time, theres designation in the form of embroidered Cobras on the back rest. We have some minor wear on the drivers seat but the passenger and rear 2+2 are in great shape. Ahead of the Dark Charcoal steering wheel reside white faced and distinctive SVT gauges while the center stack reverts to normalcy with an A/C panel over the factory AM/FM/6 CD radio. Fords crook necked shifter is in place and dressed in a leather boot amid textured plastic chided for its likeness to an Igloo cooler and just as easy to clean! Gray carpet floods the floor and is found in the finished truck as well, and all present cleanly.

Drivetrain
Under the hood is the impressive 4.6 liter DOHC 32 valve supercharged V8 pumping out 390 horsepower and bearing the engraved signatures of the engine builders. This one retains the rarely seen pulley guard up front, which could use some restoration. The engine is mated to a Tremec T56 6-speed manual transmission sending power to back with 3.55 gears and TracLoc. The bay is clean and the cam covers make for an engine with impressive girth.

Undercarriage
Clean and dry but also exhibiting plenty of surface rust throughout. Naturally, for a purebred performer like this, four wheel power disc brakes are supplied. Coil springs are on the front and rear independent suspension and dual exhaust features an H-pipe, then a straight shot to the rear exit.

Drive-Ability
An unmuffled roar rocks through the building as we start this performance car up, then row the gears to get it on the test loop. Theres obvious power here but were not ripping any corners on 16 year old tires. We note some noise from the throw out bearing, the left rear power window is not working and the right power mirror does not have left/right movement. Beyond those things, everything on board works as intended. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

Nine out of 10 herpetologists agree, this is one snake you WANT in your garage. The tenth dude is a Chevrolet guy. Fun, fast, and capable of opening up to the sky, this vibrant Cobra is one thats probably been on your wish list for a while. Its time to allay your fear of snakes, spouses, and spontaneity and get the car of your dreams!
