Factory ratings and installed configuration are identified separately The SVT certificate is vehicle-specific support for the recorded build sequence and production total. It does not establish a one-of-one combination of color, upholstery and equipment. Factory engine ratings describe the original Cobra package. Installed audio, alarm, brace and exhaust changes should be separated from original Ford equipment. The two public auctions and seller corrections provide stronger evidence for this car’s actual configuration than an unqualified generic feature list. The 2025 offering reported a replacement alternator and serpentine belt. The seller described ceramic coating and claimed original body panels and paint. These statements have different evidentiary weight: routine replacement items should be supported by invoices, while paint and panel originality require inspection. A seller’s suggestion that a dent could be addressed by paintless dent repair is not a verified repair assessment. The later auction adds useful context but does not supply a complete service chronology. Before active marketing, confirm current tire date codes, fluid-service dates, the installed exhaust and whether the right-rear quarter dent has been repaired. Retain the SVT certificate, factory labels and any invoices with the vehicle file. Approximately 42,000 miles in both listings is rounded reporting, not evidence that no miles were added between sales. The later auction is a primary, exact-VIN public record. It establishes a subsequent advertised configuration and recorded result, not present ownership or condition. Do not describe the car as currently available solely because it appears in a member’s wins. Preserve the dent and tire-age disclosures until repair or replacement evidence is obtained. No fresh paid history report or physical inspection was commissioned for this packet.

Overview
This final-year Fox-body SVT Cobra is finished in Vibrant Red Clearcoat with Opal Grey cloth and vinyl upholstery. It retains the model’s 5.0-liter V8, five-speed manual and Traction-Lok rear axle, with turbine-style 17-inch wheels and four-wheel disc brakes. The SVT certificate shown in the later auction identifies number 3294 of 4993. A Kenny Brown brace, Panasonic stereo and alarm were documented. About 42,000 miles were shown in both the November 2025 and June 2026 auctions. Later disclosure confirmed a right-rear quarter-panel dent, while the two auctions described the exhaust differently. [1–2]
Vibrant Red Clearcoat over Opal Grey cloth gives this 1993 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra a direct connection to the final chapter of the Fox-body era. The Cobra-specific front treatment, rear spoiler, turbine-style 17-inch wheels and four-wheel disc brakes distinguish it from the contemporary Mustang GT. The SVT certificate displayed with its later auction identifies this car as number 3294 of 4993 examples, providing a vehicle-specific production reference without inventing a rarer color-combination claim.
Power comes from the Cobra’s 5.0-liter V8, whose factory specification incorporated GT-40 cylinder heads, a dedicated intake arrangement, revised camshaft and a 65mm throttle body. Ford rated the original package at 235 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed manual transmission and Traction-Lok rear axle provide the traditional rear-drive layout. The November 2025 seller reported replacement of the alternator and serpentine belt that year; the reviewed material does not establish a recent engine rebuild.
The cabin retains the appeal of cloth seating and the uncomplicated Fox-body layout, with a Panasonic CD stereo and Viper alarm among the documented changes. A Kenny Brown three-point brace, tinted glass and Nitto tires were also listed. Seller corrections are important here: cruise control and rear-window defrost were specifically said to be absent, despite earlier listing language. This description follows those corrections and does not advertise either feature.
The car’s public record traces Texas use before Virginia registration, followed by a November 2025 BaT sale and a second exact-VIN auction in June 2026. Approximately 42,000 miles were shown at both offerings. The later listing identified delivery through Philpott Ford in Port Neches, Texas, and offered a North Carolina title. Supporting materials included the SVT certificate and historical sales documentation; current possession of those items should be confirmed.
Condition notes include small paint chips, a bumper mark and a dent in the right-rear quarter panel, explicitly acknowledged during the later auction. Original-panel and original-paint statements were seller claims rather than independent certifications. The 2025 comments described stock mufflers, while the 2026 listing identified an aftermarket cat-back exhaust; the present exhaust should be checked. This is a documented SVT Cobra with appealing colors and a useful public trail, presented with its corrections and dated disclosures intact.
The November 11, 2025 auction recorded $50,500, lot 219277. A later exact-VIN BaT auction, offered by 1587dynasty, recorded $56,000 on June 10, 2026, lot 247034. The later listing offered a clean North Carolina title and about 42,000 miles. These are dated public sale records, not a current inventory confirmation. A right-rear quarter dent acknowledged in the later comments and the later aftermarket exhaust description are retained in this packet. [1–2]
