ARC Motors Rez Chowdhury (407) 803-1500 2286 West Fairbanks Ave Winter Park Florida 32789     1998 Ford Mustang Cobra Vehicle Information VIN: 1FAFP46V8WF179223 Stock: Mileage: 107,800 Color: Laser Red Tinted Clearcoat Metallic Trans: 5-Speed Manual Engine: 4.6L V8 32V MPG: 17 City / 26 Highway Drivetrain: RWD   Description You are bidding on a very beautiful Rare and outstanding 2-Owner 1998 Ford Mustang Cobra SVT Convertible with a 5-speed Manual Transmission and has 107K all miles are from the state of Florida. This Cobra is very rare and I mean rare because this 1 of 1 because the color combination and it did come with cloth seats from the factory but the Ford dealer had leather seats installed before it was sold. Please go down the page to look at the stats and yes these are real stats, they also come with the website link to verify. I do know a little history about the Cobra that it was bought Brand new from the state of Florida from Langford Ford in LaBelle, Florida and that the 2nd owner has owned it since 2000 when 20k in Orlando. It runs and drives very well with smooth acceleration and shifts good from gear to gear and clutch is nice and strong. Also its very loud when you rev it, like sounds like a monster because of the Flow Master Cat-Back exhaust system. This vehicle has only 107K Original Miles and for a Ford Engine it has many more miles to travel. I have personally put about 700 miles on it, just driving around town. Its very fast after 5k RPM and also it sounds very amazing. This is a true collector classic, as there are not that many around. It has no problem what-so-ever and everything works perfect. The SVT Mustang Cobra is the most exciting 1998 Ford model, with exclusive items such as a powerful V-8 that actually is hand-built. The SVT Cobra is reminiscent of the mid-1960s Shelby Mustang GT-350, which was a race-winning version of the first Mustang modified by legendary specialty car builder Carroll Shelby. In an adventuresome move, the Hertz rental car firm rented GT-350s to the public after painting them Hertz's corporate colors. The fast, noisy, rough-riding GT-350 was appreciated by auto buffs and racers, but came as quite a surprise to average car renters who happened to get one. In contrast, the SVT Cobra is smooth, quiet and civilized--and would have easily outrun the GT-350. It's the product of Ford's elite Special Vehicle Team (SVT), which has modified a limited number of Ford cars and trucks since 1993. The vehicles are sold through some 600 Ford dealers trained to sell and service them. The coupe version of the SVT Cobra has a $25,710 base price, while the convertible costs $28,510. About 35 percent of SVT Cobra sales are convertibles, but an increasing number of buyers want that model, said SVT spokesman James Sawyer. The convertible is built pretty tight, with few typical convertible shakes or shudders, and its power convertible top goes up and down quickly. But the car's big windshield is placed very close to front-seat occupants and thus robs some of the ~~open-air'' feel during top-down driving. Approximately 10,000 Cobra SVTs will be built this year. New for the 1998 model are alloy wheels similar to those on the 1995 limited-production Mustang Cobra R race car and new blue and yellow paint colors. Both the coupe and convertible are well-equipped, with everything from air conditioning and anti-lock brakes to power windows and speed control. Standard for the coupe and a $1,040 option for the convertible is an Electronics and Leather Trim package, which contains leather seats, upgraded sound system and anti-theft alarm. There's also a $195 rear spoiler for both models. But no automatic transmission is offered because this is a serious driver's car. The manual is rather notchy and works with a somewhat stiff, long-throw clutch. But one need not shift gears much to get good performance because the dual-overhead-camshaft SVT Cobra V-8 generates a neck-snapping 300 foot-pounds of torque. This 4.6-liter, 32-valve engine is a thing of beauty. It produces 305-horsepower and whisks the SVT Cobra from 0 to 60 m.p.h. in 5.7 seconds. Top speed is 152-m.p.h.--if you can find a race track. The most horsepower from a regular Mustang is 225 in the GT V-8 model. And the GT V-8 isn't hand-assembled, as is the SVT Cobra V-8; it gets a metal plate engraved with signatures of the two-person team who built it. Nobody buys a car like the SVT Cobra for high fuel economy, but this Mustang delivers a decent 17 m.p.g. in the city and 26 on highways. The V-8 loafs at about 2,000 r.p.m. at 65 m.p.h. in fifth gear, although a downshift to fourth is needed for a fast 65-75 m.p.h. passing maneuver. There's more to the SVT Cobra than the special engine. For instance, the Special Vehicle Team modifies the regular Mustang suspension for better handling and adds massive disc brakes and big, high-performance tires. There are unique gauges that are easily scanned, custom fog lights, Cobra fender emblems and an SVT badge on the trunk. There's also a traditional performance car dual-exhaust-pipe setup that emits a delightfully sporty sound. Steering is quick with good road feel, and handling is excellent. The ride is comfortable, despite a fairly short wheelbase and rather firm suspension. Braking is outstanding, although the pedal feels somewhat stiff. As with all Mustangs, the racy looking SVT Cobra has just average front room for two tall occupants--and a 6-footer will find the driver's seat doesn't slide back far enough from the pedals. The backseat is strictly for kids. Although small, the usefully shaped trunk will swallow a fair amount of soft luggage for weekend getaways. The SVT Mustang Cobra is one of those cars that makes owners look for excuses to take such trips. New wheels were the largest change for the 1998 Cobra. These were identical to those used on the '95 Cobra "R", except the wheel cutouts were now painted grey. New in the interior was a new leather pattern as well as the console being redesigned. The clock pod that was found on previous years was removed, and the clock could now be found on the radio display. A CD player was now standard. http://www.mustangspecs.com/years/98cobra.shtmlREAL PRODUCTION NUMBER THIS COBRA IS ONE OF ONE Production Numbers: Cobra Coupe: 5,174 Cobra Convertible: 3,480 Total: 8,654 Available Engine: 4.6L DOHC EFI V-8 305 hp Available Exterior Colors ColorCodeCoupe Conv.Black Clearcoat UA 1,7081,256Laser Red Tinted Clearcoat E9 1,236842Crystal White ZR 958578Atlantic Blue Clearcoat PS 563249Canary Yellow Clearcoat BZ 709555Retail Prices: Cobra Coupe, P47: $25,710 Cobra Convertible, P46: $28,510 Interior Trim Colors and ProductionCoupeInterior ExteriorProductionBlack cloth Black6Black cloth Laser Red5Black cloth Crystal White8Black cloth Atlantic Blue10Black cloth Canary Yellow5Black leather Black1,344Black leather Laser Red675Black leather Crystal White506Black leather Atlantic Blue553Black leather Canary Yellow704Saddle cloth Black2Saddle cloth Laser Red5Saddle cloth Crystal White10Saddle cloth Atlantic Blue-Saddle cloth Canary Yellow-Saddle leather Black356Saddle leather Laser Red551Saddle leather Crystal White434Saddle leather Atlantic Blue-Saddle leather Canary Yellow-ConvertibleExteriorTop ColorIntProductionBlackBlackBlack Leather967BlackSaddleLeather61SaddleBlackLeather11SaddleSaddleLeather215WhiteBlackCloth1WhiteBlackLeather1Laser RedBlackBlack Cloth1Black BlackLeather340BlackSaddleLeather12SaddleSaddleCloth2SaddleSaddleLeather484WhiteBlackLeather3Crystal WhiteBlackBlack Leather218BlackSaddleLeather6BlackSaddleCloth1SaddleSaddleLeather267WhiteBlackLeather46WhiteSaddleCloth1WhiteSaddleLeather40Atlantic BlueBlackBlack Cloth1BlackBlackLeather224WhiteBlackCloth1WhiteBlackLeather23Canary YellowBlackBlack Cloth5BlackBlackLeather542WhiteBlackLeather 8 Vehicle Identification Numbers 1FA - Ford Motor Co.
