For Sale: 1996 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra "Mystic" (305 HP, 4.6L DOHC V8, 5-speed, 7 miles)
This 1996 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra would be a stand-out simply for having less than 10 original miles and being the top-shelf performance model, but it will also (literally) catch your eye for being one of the small batch of cars painted in the flip-flop shade known as “Mystic.” This is one of the cooler special editions offered by a major manufacturer in recent memory, as the color-shifting qualities of the paint are quite unique.
The Mystic paint job was limited to 2,000 cars, and the story behind how BASF pitched Ford on eventually using this unusual paint scheme is fascinating. The paint has holographic ingredients that are shared with the same recipe used to print $100 bills, making it essential that no paint deposits escape into rogue hands for fear of enabling counterfeiting operations.
