10 Muscle Cars That Won’t Break The Bank

1994 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra

Average value: $12,100

In the 1990s, Ford relied on its internal Special Vehicles Team to produce performance-enhanced versions of the Mustang. As a result, the Cobra made its debut in 1993 and went unnoticed until the following year with the Fox-4 redesign.

Aesthetically, the Cobra can be distinguished from a standard Mustang GT by its unique front fascia with round foglights, special rear spoiler, and Cobra badges.

Under the hood is a different story. The 1994 Cobra was fitted with a 5.0-liter V8 engine complimented by cast-iron GT-40 style heads and intake manifold. The engine was rated with an output of 240 horsepower.

The power modifications along with various suspension upgrades and upsized 13-inch vented rotors coupled with two-piston calipers, and unique 17-by-8-inch aluminum wheels gave the Cobra a serious performance upgrade that far exceeded the GT.

Only 5,009 Cobra coupes were produced and just 1,000 convertibles. Despite these low production numbers a good condition, driving Cobra is valued at $12,100.
