1993 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous fees to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in August all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

To celebrate the end of the Fox body’s production run, Ford built something special: the 1993 Mustang Cobra. Wearing beautifully curved turbine-style wheels, a unique front grille and side skirts, a special rear bumper with a tall spoiler, and intimidating Cobra badges, this low-production Mustang easily stood out from regular GTs.

And it had the power to back up those good looks: starting with the already-potent 5.0L V8, Ford’s Special Vehicle Team modified it with GT-40 cylinder heads, a high-flow intake manifold and throttle body, a strengthened valvetrain, and bigger injectors with a retuned ECU. The result was 235 horsepower and a 5800-rpm redline, enabling the 3,200-pound Cobra to run a quick 5.6-second sprint to 60 mph, and a 14.3 quarter-mile at 98 mph.

Lower-rate springs, re-valved shocks, and a smaller front stabilizer bar worked in concert with the larger 17” wheels to produce both a smooth ride, and an impressive .85g around corners. And standard 4-wheel disc brakes ensured the fun could stop as quickly as it started. Car and Driver concluded, “This is one of America’s quickest production cars…it goes about daily driving in a relaxed, accommodating way that’s defi­nitely out of character for a war horse.”

This example is dressed in Black with black upholstery, is equipped with 17” wheels, and is powered by the 5.0L Cobra V8 controlled by a Holley Terminator X EFI system and backed by a 5-speed manual transmission. It is one of only 4,993 Cobras built in 1993.

This 1993 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra is now represented at no reserve by a Broad Arrow Specialist with a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a clean Alabama title in the current owner's name.

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide very limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential; however, not all cars will be running at time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require extensive additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is. 

Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Hagerty Marketplace representative is onsite, between the hours of 9AM to 6PM local time beginning Monday, September 14 through Wednesday, September 30. No cars can be retrieved prior to September 14, and any lots remaining after September 30 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
