For years, Jack Roush was the brains behind most of Ford's fastest cars, both on and off the track. When he turned his sights towards a street-legal Mustang, cars like this awesome 1997 Ford Mustang Cobra Roush Stage 2 Convertible were the result. Big power, eyeball-flattening cornering, and a unique look all added up to a near-perfect package that delivers real world performance without compromises. If you want a super-clean SN95 Mustang SVT Cobra with a whole lot of added pedigree and POP, this is the one to own.  Cobra Mustangs were always something special, and SVT pulled out all the stops when this car was built. But for Jack Roush, it wasn't quite enough, so he and his team took these already special cars and turned them up to '11', adding a Stage 2 performance/appearance upgrade to this particular model. Although they'd been producing aftermarket parts and outsourcing custom builds since the late '80s, 1997 was the first year Roush offered complete vehicle packages in-house at their ROUSH Performance Products laboratory in Michigan. This mode-year marked the first official collaboration between Ford and Roush, and as we all know, the first model of just about anything is a hot collectable. But when it's as well-preserved as this Pacific Green Metallic Mustang, and comes complete with all the right documents, well, it's easy to see why these cars are still so highly cherished by their owners. Always a sunny-day cruiser and never a daily driver, it shows none of the usual battle scars and presents in excellent condition throughout. The paint's in top driver quality condition today after 59K miles logged on the clock, and receipts show that the bumpers and side skirts were repainted not too long ago, but nevertheless the finish is uniform, glossy, and only showing very minor signs of use. The Mustang's shape was augmented by Roush-specific components like the side skirts/ground effects, side exhaust, and a sculpted rear valance, coupled with the already aggressive SVT Cobra front air dam, dual-scoop hood, side vents, and rear wing, melding together to form one of the slickest, coolest, most aggressive modern Mustangs ever made. The fact that this SN95 is convertible only adds to the off-the-charts curb appeal, and with all those Cobra and SVT badges, nobody is going to want to tangle with this street brawler. Unlike most Roush cars today, the company was very reserved with their branding and only attached a small decklid badge out back, but once everyone hears that exhaust go full-throttle, there's no mistaking this convertible's pedigree.    With the Cobra, the interior gets in on the performance act, but back in the SN95 these cars were still concerned about being comfortable, too. The standard Mustang leather articulated sport buckets are supportive and comfortable, and with so few miles only show minor comfort marks, no rips or tears like most 25+ year old cars on the road today. Similar Saddle leather adorns the door panels and the back seat, plush tan carpets line the floors, and a Saddle convertible roof seals the cabin up nicely, tying in the whole car together. Like the exterior, the interior is in great shape with only the very slightest signs of someone sitting behind the leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel, and the bright white SVT gauge just ahead of it are still crystal clear and very legible. This Cobra came loaded with the Preferred Equipment Package that added a Mach 460 AM/FM/CD stereo and factory alarm, but every other accessory Ford could install came standard, so things like power windows/locks/seats/mirrors/top, A/C, cruise control, and dual airbags are all in tow. Jack Roush's signature and a serialized Roush plate on the center stack show off just how special this Mustang really is, while the dogleg 5-speed shifter is the funnest part of the entire cabin â practically taunting you to jump in and bang it around. There's even a decent trunk out back with space for two passengers' luggage, perfect for road trips.  These early SVT Cobras weren't much different under the skin than standard Mustang GTs, but with the addition of the Roush Stage 2 handles like a true sports car and sounds fantastic. The numbers-matching 4.6L DOHC 32-valve SVT V8 bellows out 305 horsepower and an equal amount of torque, and when matched up with the 5-speed manual gearbox, it's a whole lot of fun out on the road. With less than 60K miles it's still running great today, and the engine bay has been nicely detailed and well-cared for since new, boasting only 2-owners and an incident-free Vehicle History Report. Roush offered upgraded springs, struts, and shocks that help keep it planted to the road, along with an upgraded H-pipe dual exhaust system that exits through the side skirts and sounds fantastic. Massive brakes were part of the Cobra package from Day One, and this one benefits from things like 4-wheel ABS and power rack-and-pinion steering, so performance is impressive. Flashy 17-inch cast-aluminum wheels finish the package and wear grippy 245/45/17 Goodyear Eagle GT radials with plenty of tread left.  Offered with its original window sticker, Roush paperwork, a Marti report, and maintenance records, this modern classic checks a lot of boxes. Are these cars super collectable yet? With performance, an awesome look, and limited, first-year production, I wouldn't bet against this SVT Cobra Roush Stage 2 convertible. Call today!

With its tastefully dramatic exterior showing professionally installed upgrades from front to back, this 1997 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Convertible Supercharged would be a fitting centerpiece in any garage based on its curb appeal alone, but it has a lot more to offer than its striking good looks. It also features an ultra-potent engine that anchors a drivetrain operating in top form and a fortified chassis to create an outstanding experience behind the wheel. A cinch to draw attention wherever it goes, this special edition Mustang will arrive at its next home with a collection of build receipts to document the work that's gone into making it a top tier performance machine.  Decked out in Ebony Black paint - its original color - this is a car that will make a strong impression right off the bat. It's an ultra-sharp car to begin with, and after undergoing a clay bar session at the hands of an experienced detailer, its curb appeal will elevate further. Due to its SVT lineage, the collection of exterior modifications that set it apart from more commonly encountered Mustangs have all been done seamlessly - you'll find no Frankenstein-ish scoops jutting out, nor any ill-fitting add-ons to diminish your enthusiasm. Up front, a set of blackout halo style headlights add to the car's aggressive appearance, while in back, its signature Cobra emblem is embossed in chrome and looks great against the black bumper. Most of us would picture ourselves behind the wheel on a sunny day, testing out the abilities of this very capable ride, but should the weather not cooperate during your travels, the accompanying power black convertible top raises into position without issue and seals nicely.  The black leather interior retains a largely factory appearance, which is a good thing, as Mustangs from this era included really inviting driving environments. A pair of comfortably padded power bucket seats straddle the center console in front, and there's sufficient space in back to accommodate two adults without complaint. The white-faced gauges in the instrument cluster create a nice contrast to the surrounding dash area, where you'll find aftermarket gauges added to keep tabs on the supercharger boost and fuel pressure, and red LED lighting now illuminates the cockpit at night. Additional interior features include air conditioning, cruise control, power door locks and mirrors, a rear window defogger and an AM/FM/cassette stereo with a CD changer to provide plenty of audio options.  This Mustang gets its elite power from a fuel injected 4.6-liter V8 that's been outfitted with a ProCharger supercharger to take its already strong performance - 305 horsepower in factory configuration - to a much higher level. The engine pairs with a 5-speed manual transmission that puts full control of its power in the hands of the driver. A pair of long tube headers have been added to the mix to reduce backpressure as they lead out to Flowmaster-style mufflers that deliver just the right throaty exhaust note. This Mustang features a set of welded-in subframe connectors to enhance its rigidity and with upgraded Eibach coil springs in front and back teaming with its already low center of gravity, its handling abilities are on point. Smooth power steering makes for easy navigation, while anti-lock power brakes at all four corners bring this Mustang's set of ultra-sharp 18" chrome Cobra R wheels with their Kumho tires to prompt stops when called upon.  With its unbeatable combination of high impact curb appeal and stellar performance abilities, this 1997 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Convertible Supercharged is a definite must-see. Call today!

This is the Cobra you want to get your hands on right now.  The 1997 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra is from the era of big power with the 4.6-liter V8, and they made more than double the number of coupes this year as convertibles. So it's amazing this triple-black package is available for such an obtainable price.  The Cobra name should already make you weak in the knees, but take a moment to check out the whole package.  After all, a power pony car in all-black is always quite alluring.  We think you'll appreciate how this has a nice gloss in the sunshine (because that's where a convertible belongs) but it's the kind of presentation that makes it driver-easy and driver-ready.  After all, the cars from SVT are made to be enjoyed to the fullest. What is SVT? That's Ford's Special Vehicle Team.  They are the ones not only responsible for all the great design touches like the unique fascia, hood scoops, power dome, spoiler, and coiled snake badges, but they also engineered this convertible to have the performance to back up its sporty image.  The well-fitting black top powers down to reveal a full black interior.  So the paint, roof, and interior deliver the ultra-desirable triple-black style. The Cobra was not only sporty, but it was also a loaded premium vehicle.  So you get power locks, keyless entry, cruise control, and the premium factory AM/FM/CD/cassette stereo will keep everyone happy.  This modern classic also lets you take advantage of safety features like dual airbags and anti-lock brakes.  Best of all, the power windows and power convertible top mean you never have to leave the driver's seat to go from enclosed comfort to a wind-in-your-hair experience.  And the cold-blowing air conditioning keeps you comfortable even with the top down in the summertime.  The leather upholstery is quite inviting, and so you can really feel this is a driver's car. Plus, you get a  great performance package that includes white-faced analog gauges, a leather-wrapped wheel, a contouring bucket seat, and an ideally placed shifter.    What makes the Cobra awesome is the motor.  The DOHC 4.6-liter motor has the kind of versatile powerband that made this car an instant classic.  The 32-valve setup gives this a terrific bottom-end, and the V8 grunt makes it feel like it could pull forever.  There's a huge aftermarket supply, but this highly original package has been well-maintained to remain a representation of the finest from Ford.  The five-speed manual transmission snaps through the gears easily, and the factory upgraded the chassis to make it worthy of the Cobra name.  Helping corral all this performance is the power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, and BF Goodrich performance tires.  This drop-top has crossed the quarter-century threshold, and that makes it ready for vintage registration in many states.  So it's being recognized as the new classic of true classics, which is why it's amazing you can get such a powerful Cobra convertible for such an affordable price. Call today!!!
