1999 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Convertible — 4.6L DOHC V8, 5-Speed Manual, Red over Black Why This Car Is Special The 1999 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Convertible sits at the top of the SN95 Mustang lineup, and for good reason. Ford's Special Vehicle Team built the Cobra as a distinct product from the standard GT, not just a trim level upgrade. The 4.6-liter DOHC 32-valve V8 in the Cobra shared its basic displacement with the GT's engine but was an entirely different motor — hand-assembled at Ford's Romeo, Michigan engine plant, with four-valve heads and a specific intake and exhaust architecture that produced 320 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque from the factory. That engine carried the same Cobra-emblazoned cam covers that enthusiasts have come to recognize at a glance. The convertible body style adds a layer of scarcity to an already low-volume car. SVT kept Cobra production numbers well below the mainstream Mustang GT, and the open-top variant was rarer still. This particular car — red exterior over a black leather interior with a black convertible top — is one of the more visually direct combinations Ford offered on the Cobra, and it photographs exactly the way it looks in person. A note worth knowing about the 1999 Cobra: Ford issued a Technical Service Bulletin early in the model year after discovering that some 1999 Cobra engines were not making their rated 320 horsepower due to intake manifold runner issues. Ford addressed this through a recall and engine replacement program. This is a well-documented chapter in Cobra history, and any serious buyer should confirm which side of that correction their car falls on. It is worth asking about directly. This example has been modestly modified with enthusiast-grade bolt-ons — a Spectre cold air intake and a dual exhaust setup — that complement the engine without replacing any of the core drivetrain components. The Tremec T45 5-speed manual transmission remains in place, which is exactly where it should be on...
