1996 Ford Mustang Cobra For Sale This 1996 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra is finished in black over a black interior and shows just 81,000 miles. Powered by Ford's hand-assembled 4.6-liter DOHC V8 and paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, the 1996 Cobra marked the first year of the modular-engine SN95 Cobras, with factory output rated at 305 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque sent to the rear wheels. That combination gave these cars a different character than the earlier 5.0-powered Cobras, with a smoother, more rev-happy feel that helped define the later SVT cars.This example benefits from a rebuilt transmission using upgraded OEM performance parts, along with new motor mounts, giving the driveline some meaningful recent attention. It also features long-tube headers and a Flowmaster exhaust, adding a more aggressive sound and helping the 4.6 breathe a little easier. Visually, it stands apart with aftermarket 19-inch gold TSW wheels, giving the black exterior a more custom look than the factory setup.The result is a low-mile SVT Cobra that still carries the appeal of a black-on-black 1990s Mustang performance car, while also offering a few well-chosen updates in the areas enthusiasts tend to notice most. It keeps the core ingredients that matter - a high-revving four-valve V8, manual transmission, and SVT pedigree - while adding some fresh mechanical work and a more assertive presence.See the "videos" tab above this description box for a cold start and walk around.
