1994 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra

1994 Ford Mustang Cobra Convertible Pace Car Only 3 times in the long history of the Greatest Spectacle In Racing the Indianapolis 500, has there been a Ford Mustang acting as the official pace car: 1964, 1979, and 1994.  Each of these years Ford capitalized on this event by building tributes, and this time is doing so in a very limited edition of 1,000.  Each an identical Rio Red, everything is standard, and all convertibles, these Cobras have no decals, (although included), but a single Indy 500-winged emblem on its decklid. For consignment, a 2,873 title verified actual mile '94 Mustang Cobra Pace Car convertible, confirmed, and in very nice condition.  Number 948 of 1,000, fully functional, and coming to us as a 2 owner car that was passed to the son, our consignor, from his father who was the original owner.  This car comes with a Mustang Cobra Pace Car go kart, the original sales invoice and the SVT certificate.  Folks it does not get much better than this. Exterior Rio Red with the winged Indianapolis logo adorning the deck lid, the Cobra Snake logo on the fenders, and Saddle canvas convertible top all scream power, style and prestige.  Styling cues from yore are noted with the hockey stick cove on sides ending at the front of the rear quarter panel.  A Cobra specific rear spoiler is attached, and a foursome of 17-inch polished Cobra alloy wheels are seen.  Round fog lamps unique to this Cobra are embedded into the front fascia.   All self adhesive decals have been applied in their correct locations and are looking factory fresh, because like the paint, they essentially are on this low mileage snake.  Hissssssssssssssss Interior Stitched Saddle leather buckets flank a curvaceous center console which undulates its way up to a two tone black and tan dash. Inserted are a white field of gauges with black markings, and on the odometer is the confirmed 2,873 original miles.  Black threaded embroidered Indianapolis logos are at the top of each tall bucket.  A small but comfortable 2 plus 2 style back seat in stitched leather as well stretches from door to door.  The gearshift boot and knob are stitched black leather.  Cobra carpet floor mats which have seen very few feet on them, are installed in the front.  A CD player and an AM/FM Radio /Cassette Player are in the front console and pump out beautiful sound from the MACH speaker sound system. Drivetrain An SVT, (Special Vehicle Team), engineered GT40 headed 5.0 Liter V8 sits in the factory condition engine bay.  Electronic fuel injection is onboard to keep the ponies galloping and attached on the back is a Borg Warner T5 5-speed manual transmission, which puts power back to a Ford 8.8 3.08 TracLok rear end.  All looking factory fresh down to the rubber boot over the distributor. Undercarriage 4 wheel antilock disc brakes are on all four corners, and the unibody frame, floor pans and rockers are solid and like new and the untreated components show some surface rust growing on these surfaces.  Evidence that this car was garaged and has seen some road time.  The underside is very clean and definitely invasive rust free.  Providing the slithering ride is an independent coil sprung front suspension and in the back a 4-link system with coil springs.  The factory headers and dual exhaust with the OEM mufflers are on for your auditory pleasure. Drive-Ability In a word very nice, in 2 words smooth and powerful, and in 3 words comfortable, good handling, awesome!  No issues we noted were on our drive, which we kept short as to preserve the low mileage.  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. Here's a classic car you can drive!   Having a special edition car bought to be enjoyed but well cared for and garaged all that time, then finally putting it out there is definitely to the potential buy
