Description : Gateway Classic Cars Houston is excited to offer this awesome Avalanche Gray 1997 Ford Mustang Cobra. This is a registered Classic 97 SVT Cobra. Virtually everything is new and upgraded using topflight name brand components. Originally a Crystal White Cobra, this one has been completely and thoroughly redone in Avalanche Gray, giving it a stealthy look. According to its owner/builder, virtually every square inch of this vehicle has been gone through. Even the wiring harness has been re-loomed with braided nylon and cloth tape. It features a freshly rebuilt 32 valve 400hp V8, featuring a forged crank, Boss 302 rods, flat top ceramic coated pistons, Teksid block, and ARP hardware. The suspension is fully adjustable, including the IRS setup out back, and it can go from "comfort" to "hardcore track" with the turn of a knob on each dampener. The exhaust is nicely tucked so she doesn't scrape anywhere. This light gray Cobra is a rear-seat delete vehicle and is equipped with a super snug fitting set of high-back bucket seats that offer more than enough support under spirited driving conditions. The exterior appearance is classic Cobra, with a slick looking set of SVE 5-spoke wheels, a newer set of Cooper Zeon RS3-G1 rubber, slotted & cross drilled rotors and the beautiful engine note coming through the Magnaflow exhaust system and out of the aggressive looking side mount exhaust tips.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.

Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.

During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.

In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.

In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
