Seller’s notes about this car

Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this hard to find 1997 Ford Mustang Cobra Convertible. Whats more classic than a convertible, V-8, Mustang? For six generations no other automotive manufacturer has come close to providing as many unique and exciting convertibles, with their flagship model, like FoMoCo and the Mustang. However, the introduction of the Quad Cam 4.6l engine in 1996 was a game changer. This high revving revolutionary engine put the automotive world on notice. Ford fanatics would soon discover the capability and durability of the motor replacing the legendary 5.0 of the era was far beyond the advertised 305hp. This white on white stallion with black leather interior is one of only 273 of a total production number of 3088 97 convertibles made (muscularmustangs.com). This particular Pony is wearing a set of Cobra R wheels but is stock otherwise mechanically. Its a driver quality convertible with a few minor dings and scuffs, but this Cobra still has a lot of life left in it. This 1997 Ford Mustang Cobra Convertible is listed by our Tampa Showroom and can be viewed in greater detail including 100+ HD pictures and an HD video at www.GatewayClassicCars.com. For additional information, please call our knowledgeable staff at (813)645-6200 or email us at Tampa@GatewayClassicCars.com. Our Tampa Showroom is located at 361 30th Street NE Ruskin, FL 33570.

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.

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...

One sweet ride...

2nd owner vehicle that has been meticulously cared for since new. If I had to use one word to describe this vehicle... the word I'd use is "pristine".
