There are cool Mustangs and there are really cool Mustangs. The Mustang came back with it’s sporty look in 1995, but most of the vehicles at that time were V6 motors and the smaller Pony versions like I featured in a post a couple months ago. The Mustang GT, came with a 4.6-liter V-8 that had 225 horsepower under the hood in the late nineties, the same number of horses as are in my smaller four-cylinder 2007 Subaru WRX turbo.

The ride to have for 1998 was the SVT Mustang Cobra, which you can see pictured here. SVT was the Special Vehicle Team that was created from the older Special Vehicle Operations that created the SVO Mustangs. Under the hood of this cool car is a 305 horsepower version of the 4.6 liter V-8 engine with 32 valves and a growl that makes the driver get excited that the vehicle is ready to burn up the pavement.

There is plenty of power under this baby and you find that out when you shift into first gear with the short throw gear shifter and feel the power as the Cobra explodes off the line. It’s a really fun car to drive and the yellow body gets this baby noticed. Second gear will put the new owner over most of the speed limits in the local Littleton neighborhoods and third gear is great for cruising around. Fourth and fifth gears will provide any additional power he could possibly need and still have plenty of RPM’s left for getting out of any tight situation requiring additional acceleration.

Not only did this sweet convertible come with a cool factor from the factory, but the original owner had equipped it with a $4,000 sound system, so that they could hear their favorite music with the top down at any speed. As I recall, it even has a remote control for the sound system, so that they could park the Mustang outside and provide the music for any outdoor event with the ignition turned to the accessory position.

It gets even better though, since the original owner also put a $5500 supercharger in it to boost the HP up to 410 instead of the 305 horsepower it normally came with making this a much more custom Mustang Cobra and a future classic.

The 1998 Mustang SVT Cobra is an extremely cool car with a great look and was a total blast to drive. The new owner will love it!

Hey Cool Car Fans,

These are photos of a very cool 2006 Ford Mustang Pony that came into JFR & Associates recently on trade. It’s not the major hot rod of some of the other Mustang’s I’ve had my hands on this past year, but it’s a beauty. After all, the Pony version is a V6 coupe instead of the powerful V8 monster of the Shelby or GT, but it’s still a very cool car.

Ford describes the V6 Pony Package as being “unmistakably Mustang”. By allowing buyers to customize their ride with the distinctive “Pony Package” as an all-new option on the V6 Mustang Premium. This striking package, available on both the coupe and convertible, includes:

Pony grille with chrome bezel and fog lamps, rear spoiler, 17″” painted cast aluminum wheel w/bright machined rim, Z-branded A/S tires & tri-bar pony center cap. It’s only an $1,195 option, but it adds some character to the Mustang for sure. This baby has the cool blue and white paint job to go along with it and really low miles.
