Ford Produced Only 495 Of These Mustangs, And This One Has Just Slightly Over 2,000 Miles | Carscoops

      This Mustang SVT Cobra, with low mileage, showcases the rare factory Mystichrome paint that exhibits color-shifting properties.

      Just 495 convertibles were produced featuring the Mystichrome Appearance Package in 2004, which changes color from blue to green to purple depending on the angle of view.

      The SVT Cobra is equipped with a supercharged 4.6-liter V8 engine generating 390 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque.

      Some vehicles are designed specifically to turn heads, and the 2004 Mustang SVT Cobra in Mystichrome certainly fits that description. It stands out as one of Ford's most vibrant color options, making it hard to find a well-preserved model painted in this color-shifting finish. However, we have located a 2004 Mustang SVT Cobra Convertible for sale in Virginia, boasting only about 2,500 miles (4,023 km) on the odometer.

      This Mustang is among the 495 convertibles that featured the Mystichrome Appearance Package in 2004 and rolled off Ford's Dearborn assembly line on January 15, 2004. The CarFax report indicates it has had only 2 previous owners and comes with a clean title from Virginia. As anticipated, it has garnered significant interest, with bidding currently surpassing the MSRP of a brand-new Mustang Dark Horse.

      As a Cobra, this model is no ordinary Mustang. It boasts a unique hood, updated rocker panels, and redesigned front and rear bumpers. The original tires remain on the factory 17-inch wheels, which enhances authenticity, but may compromise grip on the road. If the next owner intends to drive it, visiting a tire shop should be a top priority.

      SVT enhanced the Cobra with remarkable mechanical upgrades, including Bilstein dampers, independent rear suspension, and Cobra-branded brake calipers. The standout feature remains the Mystichrome paint, which transitions among blue, green, and purple depending on the lighting. According to the seller, the finish is flawless.

      The interior is equally distinctive. Most surfaces are covered in Dark Charcoal Nudo leather, complemented by Mystichrome accents on the seats and steering wheel. Despite its age, the car is equipped with appealing features such as a six-disc CD changer, a power-adjustable driver's seat, keyless entry, and cruise control.

      Under the hood resides a supercharged 4.6-liter V8 engine that delivers 390 hp and 390 lb-ft (529 Nm) of torque. While these figures might seem modest compared to today's powerful muscle cars, they remain more than sufficient for an exhilarating drive on winding roads.

      If this low-mileage, color-shifting piece of Ford history piques your interest, you can view the listing on Bring a Trailer and consider placing a bid.
