This 1996 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra coupe is one of 2,000 examples finished in Mystic Clearcoat Metallic for the model year and reportedly received a powertrain and interior swap from a 2004 SVT Cobra under previous ownership. A modified Terminator 4.6-liter supercharged V8 sends power through a six-speed manual transmission and an Auburn Pro Series differential with Moser 31-spline axles. Additional equipment consists of chrome 17″ wheels, H&R springs, Tokico dampers, Borla mufflers, and a Mach 1000 stereo with a six-disc CD changer.
This example is finished in extra-cost Mystic Clearcoat Metallic which shifts between bright topaz green, cobalt blue, royal purple, and black in different lighting. Equipment includes a Cobra R hood, smoked headlights, a Saleen S281 rear spoiler, integrated fog lights, SVT and Cobra badging, a wiper delete kit, and window tint.

Amenities include air conditioning, cruise control, aluminum pedals, remote keyless entry, and a Mach 1000 stereo with an in-dash six-disc CD changer.
