Immaculate Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Priced At Three Times An S650 Mustang GT

A premium car dealership in Cleveland is selling a 1993 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra with 34 miles on the clock. No, that's not a typo. In 31 years, this desirable Fox Body 'Stang has covered just thirty-four miles.

Offered for sale by Marshall Goldman, this exceptional example will attract collectors like moths to a flame - if they can stomach the price, of course. At $145,000, this SVT Cobra is three times more expensive than a brand-new Mustang GT and a couple of thousand dollars pricier than arguably more desirable machinery like the Mercedes-AMG SL 55. Is it worth it? Well, that's for you to decide.

Painted in Black Clearcoat, the '93 SVT Cobra wears 17-inch seven-spoke alloy wheels that suit the car to a tee. Subtle Cobra badging on the front fender, a rear decklid spoiler, and a sporty front bumper lend the Mustang a sporty persona. Compared to today's muscle cars, it's subtle and discreet.

Factory Fresh Fox Body
Under the hood, a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine develops 235 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. When new, a 0-60 mph sprint time of around 6.2 seconds was quick. These days, an EcoBoost-powered Mustang will quickly outpace the V8 Cobra. A five-speed manual transmission sends power to the rear wheels.

Having spent its life in storage, there's a good chance the 5.0-liter V8 will require some work. The seller notes that a new battery has been fitted but that new fluids and servicing may be required before it hits the road again. That being said, it's doubtful that this SVT Cobra will ever see asphalt - a vehicle in this condition is destined for a collection or museum.

The Mustang presents as if it left the showroom yesterday. The Opal Grey-colored leather seats are covered in plastic packaging, while the floor mats still have protective wrapping.

Possibly The Best SVT Cobra In America
There are zero signs of wear and tear; the fascia and buttons have a factory-fresh look. You can see the odometer reading of 34.2 miles through the airbag-equipped steering wheel. Even though it was never driven, the original owner specified the Cobra with Equipment Package 250A, air-conditioning, a premium audio system, and a semi-power-adjustable driver's seat.

$145,000 is a lot of money, but this would make an excellent buy for a collector or museum. Perhaps Ford should snap it up for its heritage fleet. A few years ago, an even rarer Cobra R sold for $132,000, so there's a good chance someone will pay full price for this SVT Cobra.

If the price is too steep but you still crave a retro muscle car with ridiculously low miles, there's still time to bid on a 440-mile Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z. The current bid is $52,000, but that could skyrocket before the auction concludes.
