BaT Auction: 7,200-Mile 1998 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Convertible

This 1998 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra convertible was purchased new by the seller and shows 7,200 miles. The car is finished in Laser Red over Saddle leather and is powered by a 4.6-liter V8 linked with a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Additional equipment includes a Saddle soft top, a rear spoiler, air conditioning, an anti-theft system, a Mach 460 audio system, and 17″ SVT alloy wheels. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale. This SVT Cobra is now offered with manufacturer’s literature, a car cover, memorabilia, a clean Carfax report, and a clean New York title in the seller’s name.

The body is finished in Laser Red (E9) and features a Saddle convertible top. Additional exterior equipment includes a domed hood with air intakes, a rear spoiler, fog lights, and dual polished exhaust finishers.

17″ SVT alloy wheels are wrapped in 245/45 BF Goodrich Comp T/A tires. The suspension features gas-pressurized dampers with variable-rate springs, and braking is from discs at all four corners with SVT-branded calipers up front.

The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in Saddle leather along with a matching lower dashboard, carpets, and door panels. Additional interior equipment includes air conditioning, cruise control, an anti-theft system, a Mach 460 sound system, and an AM/FM cassette stereo with a CD player.

The leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and additional gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, voltage, and oil pressure. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows just under 7,200 miles.

The 4.6-liter DOHC V8 was factory rated at 305 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. The oil was changed in preparation for the sale.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Additional images of the underside are presented in the gallery below.

Manufacturer’s literature, Mustang memorabilia, enthusiast publications, and service records are pictured above and included in the sale.

The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and history in New York.
