This 12-Mile Mustang Fox Body Just Sold for Over $200K, And Rightfully So
Running from 1979 to 1993, the Fox Body Mustang is the longest-running generation of the American pony car, and is arguably the greatest generation of the revered nameplate. It transcended cohorts, from Gen-Xers to Millennials, outselling every other version of the Mustang (except the sixth). Ford knew this, so it introduced a styling package for the S650 Mustang inspired by the Fox Body generation.
However, if you want a genuine Fox Body, one that looks like it just rolled right off the showroom floor, there was one example listed on Bring a Trailer. It's a 1993 Mustang SVT Cobra, and it just sold for $204,000 for good reasons.
The 1993 Mustang CVT Cobra that you see here is in pristine condition, with only 12 miles on the clock. According to the listing, the car was originally owned and stored long-term by the first owner, acquired by the current selling dealer this year.
Just like the newly introduced Fox Body package for the S650, this Mustang CVT Cobra is painted in Teal Metallic. As it's kept in factory condition, it's still equipped with fog lights, a removable sunroof panel, a rear spoiler, Cobra-specific badging, and polished dual exhaust tips. Interestingly, the 17-inch turbine-style alloy wheels are still wrapped by their original Goodyear Eagle tires.
Inside, the Fox Body Mustang CVT Cobra is still showroom fresh, with plastic protective covers over the Opal Grey leather seats. Its air-conditioning system was recently serviced in March.
Unlike other Fox-Body Mustangs, this SVT Cobra is powered by a 5.0-liter V8, producing 235 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, sent to the wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission. It comes with SVT-specific enhancements, such as a unique upper intake manifold and camshaft, a 65mm throttle body, a GT40 cast-iron head, and aluminum roller rockers. A new fuel pump was installed during its last service.
It's amazing how this Fox Body Mustang has been kept in this condition, considering it was built on May 10, 1993. Curiously, its price then was $21,578, which is around $48,000 in today's money. With that $204,000 hammer price, the desirability of this SVT Cobra is undeniable – and rightfully so, considering that it may be the cleanest Fox Body left.
