Available now is this excellent and extremely rare 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra Hard Top Convertible. This Dearborn, Michigan built Cobra is number 871 of only 1,003 ever built and includes the certificate from Ford Motor Company. Of the 1,003 Cobra convertibles, only 499 were built with the removable hard top. This Cobra is powered by the 5.0L Cobra V8 engine mated to a proper 5-speed manual gear box. With just over 63,000 miles on this car, it is in absolutely excellent condition both in visual and mechanical condition. This Mustang includes the tonneau cover and the rolling hard top stand.

A limited run of 1,003 Cobra convertibles were manufactured this year, and of those only 499 had the removable hardtop. This was unique for the 1995 Cobra and was rare. These models were essentially the same as the convertible Cobra but had several small provisions to accept the retaining mechanisms of the fiberglass top and dome/map light wiring. Removing or installing the hardtop was a two-person job and so the hardtop was a hard sell. After 499 of them were produced Ford discontinued the option.

If you selected the Cobra Coupe you had the option of Crystal White, Black, or Rio Red, and the option of Black or Saddle interior which could come in either cloth or leather. These were all the same options as 1994 Cobras. The Cobra convertibles on the other hand had a saddle leather interior and is painted black, with a matching black convertible top.

The engine was unchanged, the 5.0-litre V8 got a lighter flywheel, GT40 heads, high-flow exhaust manifolds, higher rate fuel injectors, larger valves and a low-drag accessory drive as it did in 1994. Horsepower remained a respectable 240 hp. It was an enjoyable and tractable engine that loved to rev. The gearbox was the 5-speed manual Borg-Warner transmission with phosphate coated gears for added strength. Power was transmitted to the ground through a Traction-Loc rear axle with a 3.08:1 final drive ratio.
