1997 Ford Mustang Cobra review

27 year old SVT Cobra Convertible

I'm the 2nd owner of this car bone stock, I love the car other than the audio controls are a bit cumbersome when driving. Have 86 thousand kilometers on her and have never had any trouble. Rides like new, shifts, better than new as I changed the stock shifter to a Hurst. New BFG tires and ceramic brake pads. Confident enough to drive any where.

1997 Ford Mustang Cobra review

One sweet ride.

1997 SVT Cobra - 63k miles - 2 owner - Rio Red Convertible - 4.6 L 32 valve V8 - 5 speed manual transmission - all original - the vehicle is one of 3088 made by the Special Vehicle Team in 1997... this is one sweet ride and is all original with the exception of a K&N air filter and a sequential turn signal conversion... serious callers only. My left knee is telling me it's time to look for an automatic transmission in my vehicle...

1997 Ford Mustang Cobra review

Amazing intro to Mustang world

I bought this car with 169k miles on it and he's still holding up strong, with minor problems thanks to 21 years of previous owners not doing very good maintenance. I have a 97' v6 and I couldn't have chosen a better first car! It's great on gas, I only fill my tank every 2 weeks. Of course it's very impractical if you travel with other people frequently because the back seat is small and uncomfortable, with no cup holders, I would only recommend this car for someone with no kids. I love my Mustang.
