1999 Supercharged Ford Mustang SVT Cobra - $18,000
QR Code Link to This Post
This car remained stock for the better part of its life, the previous owner to me did all the performance work and deserves a lot of the credit, shop owner and licensed tech, he spent almost ten years and over $50k on this build, only put on 11k miles of his own, he built more than he drove.
I’ve always wanted to experience the 4v Cobra, this one being supercharged and built by a knowledgeable tech sold it right there for me. My wife and i have had the pleasure of just owning and driving it, date nights and weekends. I don’t have much mechanical skills beyond an oil change so I’m glad this car was all done, very fun car indeed.

45k mi on rebuilt engine and driving

All parameters were checked by knowledgeable tech, laptop and program, all healthy and running correctly as they should
Independent rear suspension still in place, this car has not been solid Axle swapped
Paint has few stone tinks, overall 8/10 rating in my opinion. Interior 10/10. She’s very presentable and well street mannered. Seasonally driven, winters away, rain avoided.

*One quirk I do know of is the carbon fiber hood, it’s pretty but it’s just off a bit, it has the hoot strut kit and latches beautifully but it could be aligned better to make body lines equal. I don’t know how to adjust panels, I just drove the car for what she was and enjoyed it.
*second owner ran the car up a curb and damaged the front bumper, “collision” was reported, insurance claim for repair, new bumper and matched paint. No structural damages, Listed as “minor cosmetic”
