A remarkably preserved 1995 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra convertible with just 25 miles on the odometer will cross the auction block at Mecum’s Monterey sale on August 14, offering collectors an increasingly rare glimpse into 1990s Ford performance history.
One of just 1,003 SVT Cobra convertibles produced for the 1995 model year, this example stands out not only for its near-delivery condition but also for its attractive original specification. Finished in black over Saddle Tan leather, the convertible showcases a well-preserved appearance inside and out, with the original floor mats still sealed in their dealership packaging.

The SVT Cobra was Ford’s performance flagship during the SN95 era, boasting a hand-assembled 5.0-liter high-output V8 rated at 240 horsepower and mated to a five-speed manual transmission. While those numbers may seem modest today, the Cobra’s output and upgraded suspension components made it a standout in its day, enhanced further by a sport-tuned dual exhaust, Traction-Lok rear axle, and gas-pressurized shocks with variable-rate springs.
Additional features include four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, 17-inch cast aluminum wheels, power windows and locks, dual power mirrors, air conditioning, and Ford’s premium Mach 460 sound system. All these amenities remain untouched in this exceptionally preserved Cobra, which was originally sold new at Paramount Ford in Valdese, North Carolina.
As the Mustang celebrates its 60th anniversary, demand for low-mileage and limited-production variants continues to rise, especially among collectors seeking untouched examples. Recent sales trends suggest strong interest in well-documented SN95 Cobras, making this 25-mile convertible a serious opportunity for enthusiasts and investors alike.
Bidding for this SVT Cobra opens on Thursday, August 14, at Mecum’s Monterey 2025 auction. Given its condition, rarity, and provenance, the car is expected to draw significant attention.
