The Ford Mustang SVT Cobra remains one of the more attractive modern muscle cars that hasn’t become unobtainable, even with just over 6,000 original miles like this 2003 example. The SVT enhancements take an already respectable performer in GT guise and boost performance handily, with the added bonus of exclusivity that comes with the limited number of SVT models produced. This example is currently bid to just over $35,000 with the reserve unmet, so the seller likely knows there’s more room on the price in a survivor like this one – especially as a desirable 1-of-1,000 10th Anniversary model. Find it here on eBay and located in West Virginia.

The 10th Anniversary models represented a set of cosmetic upgrades to commemorate 10 years of the SVT Cobra. The 1993 models kicked off the production of this celebrated model, and the serious boost in performance it offered. While my personal preference would be to find a clean Fox body Saleen, there’s no denying the SVT models have a stronger following thanks to its factory-warranted performance upgrades. This generation of the SVT produced similar horsepower and torque numbers, clocking in at a robust 390, and left the factory with an Eaton supercharger. Brembo brakes, a limited slip, and a six-speed manual rounded out the list of enhancements.

The 10th Anniversary models offered Cobra buyers unique “dark argent” wheels, two-tone black and red interior, red-painted brake calipers, carbon fiber-look trim, and unique badges. While these are purely cosmetic in nature, and most of us would prefer a special edition that had actual horsepower enhancements, you have to appreciate the fact that Ford rarely made a limited edition SVT model past the standard production run. For the Mustang collector, this is a special car that offers both prodigious performance and exclusivity, the ideal combination for any collector car – and it looks to be in mint condition inside and out.

This generation of the Cobra was particularly intimidating, with its gaping front air dam and blacked-out headlight surrounds. The bodywork is flawless and the seller reports no accidents. Undercarriage photos reveal a car that looks showroom new, and the driver’s seat doesn’t even show any wear of any significance. Really, if you wanted a chance to buy a new 10th Anniversary model SVT, this is probably one of the best opportunities we’ll see in some time. Then again, given how many SVTs came out of the woodwork in the last few years, you never know if another one will come up for grabs shortly – especially if this one doesn’t meet reserve.
