Vehicle Description
1996 Ford Mustang Cobra
Rare Mystic Paint
1 of only 1999 produced in this color
Almost completely original
Some cars become legends because of their performance. Others become legendary because you’ll rarely ever see another one like them. The 1996 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra in Mystic combines both.
Produced for one year only, the Mystic Cobra remains one of the most iconic Mustangs ever built. Ford produced just 1,999 Mystic Cobras, making it one of the rarest SN95 Mustangs ever offered. The exclusive BASF-developed Mystic paint was unlike anything else on the road, shifting between green, purple, bronze, and black depending on the lighting and viewing angle. It remains one of the most recognizable and desirable factory paint options Ford has ever produced.
Power comes from Ford’s hand-built, all-aluminum 4.6L DOHC 32-valve V8, producing 305 horsepower and paired with the slick-shifting Tremec 5-speed manual transmission. The 1996 Cobra was the first Mustang to receive Ford’s advanced modular DOHC V8, delivering a unique combination of high-revving performance, unmistakable sound, and everyday reliability that still impresses nearly three decades later.
Unlike many Cobras that have been heavily modified over the years, this example has remained remarkably original. The only tasteful upgrades include:
Saleen-style replica wheels (factory wheels included as well)
Flowmaster Super 44 mufflers
Mystic-painted rear decklid spoiler (factory spoiler included as well)
The original factory Cobra wheels, tires and spoiler are included with the sale, allowing the next owner to return the car almost completely to stock if desired.
As collectors continue to recognize the significance of special-edition Mustangs, the Mystic Cobra has become one of the most sought-after models of the SN95 era. With its one-year-only color, limited production, and largely unmodified condition, this is an opportunity to own one of Ford’s most memorable performance cars exactly as enthusiasts remember them.
Whether you’re adding to a Mustang collection or searching for an analog American performance car that stands out at every show and cruise night, this 1996 Mystic Cobra delivers the perfect combination of rarity, originality, and timeless SVT performance.
