Finished in timeless Black over a matching Black leather interior with a Black convertible soft top, this Cobra offers an aggressive yet sophisticated appearance that has aged exceptionally well. Backed by a clean CarFax report, this two-owner example has remained with its current owner for the past 12 years and shows 99,000 miles. Under the hood is Ford's hand-assembled 4.6-liter DOHC \"Modular\" V8, factory rated at 305 horsepower and paired with a desirable five-speed manual transmission sending power to the rear wheels. The SVT Cobra featured numerous performance upgrades over the standard Mustang GT, including unique cylinder heads, intake manifold, suspension tuning, and four-wheel disc brakes, making it one of the most capable Mustangs of its era. This example has also received an IMRC delete and professional tuner, enhancing drivability while maintaining the car's unmistakable Cobra character. This Mustang has been thoughtfully maintained throughout its life with several notable service updates. A new convertible top and clutch were installed in 2015, followed by new tires along with shocks and struts in 2021 to keep the car driving as intended. Most recently, it received a Mobil 1 oil change in July of 2025, and the air conditioning remains fully functional, making this Cobra equally enjoyable whether cruising on warm summer days or tackling winding back roads. The black convertible top folds neatly away to provide an exhilarating open-air driving experience, while the well-preserved interior reflects the care this Mustang has received over the years. As one of SVT's most recognizable creations, the 1996 Cobra delivers an ideal blend of everyday usability, V8 performance, and collectible appeal that continues to attract enthusiasts nearly three decades after its introduction. Whether you're looking for an affordable entry into SVT ownership, a fun weekend cruiser, or a future collectible from Ford's performance division, this 1996 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Convertible checks all the right boxes. With long-term ownership, documented maintenance, tasteful performance enhancements, a clean history, and classic black-on-black presentation, this Cobra is ready to be enjoyed by its next enthusiast owner.
