1996 Ford Mustang Cobra Convertible 5-Speed

The car is finished in red with dual white racing stripes. It carries a Maximum Motorsports roll bar visible behind the seats, along with a "COBRA" windshield banner. It rides on SVE Cobra R replica wheels, 17x9, finished in silver, fitted with General G-MAX RS tires and hub-centric 1-inch wheel spacers. Orange-painted brake calipers are visible behind the wheels, paired with a PowerStop brake upgrade kit. The front fender carries a "COBRA" badge. The paint shows fading from sun exposure on different sections of the car, as well as a few chips in the paint that are pictured.

The cabin is trimmed in black and tan, with Procar by Scat seats replacing the factory units. A Maximum Motorsports 4-point roll bar with a Race-Quip 5-point harness is installed. The shifter has been upgraded to a Hurst with a white shift knob. An aftermarket JVC Bluetooth-capable head unit is installed in the center stack, supporting Pandora, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and SiriusXM, in place of the factory radio. A 1998-sourced center console assembly has been installed in place of the original 1996 unit. The steering wheel carries a "COBRA" badge at its center. Power windows and AC are also fitted.

The car is powered by the 4.6-liter DOHC "Cobra" V8, rated at 305 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque, paired with a Borg-Warner T-45 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. Suspension and chassis modifications include Maximum Motorsports full-length subframe connectors, Sport series lower control arms and adjustable upper control arms, a Ford Racing/Eibach progressive-rate lowering spring kit, KYB front struts and Gabriel rear quad shocks, Moog lower ball joints, and Prothane rack, sway bar, and end-link bushings. The exhaust has been upgraded with a BBK catalytic converter X-pipe and a Flowmaster American Thunder system. Ignition components have been refreshed with MSD coil packs, MSD plug wires, and Accel spark plugs. In March 2025, Expert Auto Center installed a Maximum Motorsports solid steering shaft assembly with needle-bearing U-joints, performed a full round of polyurethane bushing replacement (transmission mount, end links, rack and pinion, control arms), replaced the rear shock absorbers, flushed the power steering fluid, changed the oil and filter, and corrected a left-pulling alignment condition. A new ball joint was also installed in 2024. Carfax additionally documents a rear brake caliper replacement in October 2013, and an A/C compressor replacement with recharge, alignment, and tie rod end replacement in August 2021.
