Overview of 1997 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Convertible For Sale by Owner

Ford’s fourth-generation Mustang ran for much of the '90s and early '00s. Initially, it wasn’t considered a highlight of the Mustang’s saga, but as time passed by, the fourth gen started to garner some attention. We’ve seen a similar thing happen with the third generation, or Fox Body. Today, a fourth generation Mustang in performance guise, such as this 17,556-mile 1997 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra is a fine choice for the discerning enthusiast who wants something unconventional. We’re told that all maintenance is up to date on this slithery snake, making it a car that you don’t need to protect with mothballs and bubble wrap, but one that you can engage in proper driving thrills on your favorite road.

Exterior and Interior

The design of the fourth generation Mustang is slowly becoming appreciated, as the smooth lines and curvy silhouette become signature '90s calling cards. Here, they’re truly showcased with panache on this 1997 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra and its green outlook. Since the car is a convertible, it comes with a black convertible top. Furthermore, it rolls on a nice set of 17-inch alloy wheels in silver, with a pleasing machined-effect finish. The current owner reports that the tires are new too. You’ve also got a rear deck lid spoiler for a sporty touch. The tan interior of this 1997 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra is able to accommodate up to four adults and comes with leather-upholstered seating. You’ve got air conditioning, power mirrors, power windows and power door locks. Then, the center stack hosts the original Ford-branded radio with cassette tape player. That’s not all; look beneath it and you’ll find a matching Ford-branded CD player too. Meanwhile, the steering wheel hosts buttons for the car’s cruise control system. Finally, we must point out the sporty white-faced gauge cluster with Cobra motifs in the dials for added drama.

Engine

Packing a 4.6L Modular V8 with 305 hp and 300 lb-ft, this 1997 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra can do a sub-6 second 0-60 sprint if you’re handy with its 5-speed manual gearbox. This was truly fantastic for its time, and with the car’s rear-wheel drive layout, meant that you could have plenty of fun. You still can, and there are disc brakes on all four wheels to help reign in your exuberance.

1969 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350H

Current Ask
$99,999

By 1969, the Shelby GT350 had evolved from the raw, competition-minded Mustang of the mid-1960s into something broader in character: still unmistakably performance-focused, but now with the presence and comfort of a true high-speed grand tourer. This 1969 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 shows approximately 80,436 miles and wears Black Jade over a Black interior with red seat accents, a combination that suits the car’s more mature personality especially well. Its Shelby identity is everywhere, from the functional twin-scoop fiberglass hood and Cobra-branded grille to the side scoops, GT350 graphics, rear decklid spoiler, Shelby Automotive identification plate, and Carroll Shelby signature across the passenger-side dash. Underneath, the 351ci Windsor V8, SelectShift Cruise-O-Matic automatic, and 3.25:1 Traction-Lok rear axle give it the kind of effortless V8 pace expected from a late-1960s Shelby, while power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, and air conditioning make this example as much a road-going GT as it is a muscle car. It is a fitting snapshot of the moment when Shelby Mustangs became less about stripped-down competition and more about combining speed, style, and long-distance usability.

The Fox-body Mustang has become one of the defining American performance cars of the 1980s, and the GT Convertible remains one of the most recognizable versions of the formula.

The red bodyside accent stripe ties directly into the vivid interior, while a JVC audio head unit adds a small modern update. It is a classic late-1980s Mustang configuration with plenty of visual attitude and the V8 character enthusiasts expect from a Fox-body GT.

1930 Ford Model A Coupe Street Rod

Current Ask
$55,000

This 1930 Ford Model A Coupe Street Rod is the kind of build that rewards a closer look, because the craftsmanship underneath is every bit as important as the period hot-rod silhouette above it. Showing approximately 1,788 miles, this custom rotisserie-built coupe pairs a 350ci Goodwrench V8 crate engine with GM electronic fuel injection and a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission, giving the car the response and reliability of a much newer setup without taking away from its traditional street-rod character. The chassis has been thoroughly reworked with a custom fully boxed frame, Ford 9-inch rear end, rack-and-pinion steering, power front disc brakes, and rear 4-link suspension with coilovers. Finished in two-tone Gray and Silver over a Gray and Charcoal interior, it also wears Magnum 500 wheels with Coker Classic whitewalls and carries a red-accented undercarriage that turns the underside into part of the show.

1932 Ford Model 18 5-Window Coupe Hot Rod

Current Ask
$74,700

This 1932 Ford Model 18 5-Window Coupe Hot Rod is an all-steel, heavily customized build that combines authentic early-Ford architecture with the unmistakable performance character of a 1969 Corvette-sourced 427ci Big-Block Chevrolet V8. Showing approximately 6,977 miles, the car was conceived as a one-of-one creation rather than a conventional street rod, with virtually every major component selected or engineered around its distinctive combination of vintage Henry Ford steel and big-block Chevrolet power. Its all-steel 1932 Ford 5-window body has been given a dramatic 4-inch roof chop, producing the low, aggressive profile at the heart of the build, while the fenderless front end, exposed suspension, deep-dish Cragar S/S wheels, front skinnies, and substantial rear performance rubber reinforce its traditional hot-rod attitude. Beneath the body is a custom fully boxed aftermarket frame designed to cope with the torque of the 427, backed by a heavy-duty TH400 automatic and Ford 9-inch rear axle. According to the seller, the car has also received significant publicity and attracted attention from collectors, further separating it from the typical home-built street rod.
