Here is a 69K km 1999 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Convertible 5-Speed Manual, finished in Vermilion Red over black leather upholstery. This example is powered by a 4.6-litre DOHC 32-valve V8 equipped with a Vortech supercharger and paired with a Tremec T-45 five-speed manual transmission. This Canadian market car’s odometer displays under 43,000 miles after having being registered for a time in Montana. The 1999 SVT Cobra introduced Ford’s independent rear suspension to the Mustang line, differentiating it from the period Mustang GT. This numbered car. 868 of 4055 for the year as shown in Ford’s SVT certificate in the gallery. This first-year New Edge body style car was sold new in Alberta and registered in British Columbia in 2003 before returning to Alberta in 2012 from the U.S. It is offered with the original owner’s manuals as well as two keys/fobs, and is located in Lethbridge, Alberta.
Finished in Vermilion Red (Ford Paint Code E8), this convertible retains its factory black cloth power top and SVT Cobra–specific bodywork, including differentiating taillights with amber indicator lenses. The front bumper has been refinished to address stone chips, while the balance of the bodywork retains its original Vermilion Red finish. Exterior equipment includes a vented hood, integrated fog lamps, dual side mirrors, rear deck-lid Saleen style spoiler, and Cobra badging. A Saleen rear spoiler and full front paint-protection film have been installed. Gallery images show clear lenses, factory glass with etchings.
The 18-inch Saleen-style chrome wheels by American Muscle are mounted with Nitto NT555 G2 tires, sized 265/35 18 up front and 275/35 18 with a W speed rating at all four corners. Date codes are 2021. According to the owner, the tires have rolled a mere 300 kilometres. Braking is power assisted with vented discs at each corner, and this car retains its independent rear suspension (IRS) unique to the SVT Cobra of this generation. Suspension modifications include BC Racing coilovers installed within the past 50 km, allowing for adjustable ride height and damping. Factory specifications included linear-rate springs, gas pressurized struts and shocks as well four-wheel disc brakes with Cobra branded front calipers.
The cabin boasts black leather upholstery with matching black trim across the dashboard, door cards, and carpeting. The black carpeted protective floor mats include Cobra branded embroidery. Features include air conditioning, power windows, door locks, power seat, power top, and the original Ford AM/FM cassette stereo with separate component CD changer. A power-operated black cloth top is controlled from the centre console. The front seats are bolstered sport buckets with integrated headrests. Gallery images document light creasing on the driver’s seat on the well-kept trim. Instrumentation consists of a 160 MPH speedometer with equivalent 260 km/h reading, 7,000 RPM tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage, supplemented by A-pillar-mounted supercharger boost and air-fuel ratio gauges. The odometer displays under 43,000 miles.
This Cobra’s powerplant is the 4.6-litre DOHC 32-valve V8, originally factory-rated at 320 HP and 317 lb-ft of torque and now fitted with a Vortech centrifugal supercharger with approximately 50 km of use. Additional upgrades include a Magnaflow exhaust system and the BC Racing coilovers. Induction is via sequential multi-port fuel injection, and cooling is assisted by an aluminium overflow reservoir visible in the gallery.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through the stock Tremec T-45 five-speed manual gearbox, unique among Mustangs of the era and a factory 3.27:1 limited-slip differential. This example represents a supercharged, low-mileage example of Ford’s independent-rear-suspension Cobra, ready for its next enthusiast caretaker.
