At first glance, it’s just an old Mustang from the beginning of the zero, and it costs more than the new GT. But do not rush to judge by age. In the United States, a real rarity was put up for sale - Ford Mustang Svt Cobra 10th Anniversary Edition 2003 of release . It would seem, so what? But it wasn’t there.

Firstly, we are talking about the rare limited version released in honor of the decade of the SVT unit-the whole 2003 copies for the whole world , and this specific is one of them. Secondly-and most importantly-the mileage of this “cobra” is only 2626 miles (this is about 4226 kilometers). For a car that was born in 2003, this is just nothing. The car literally stood all his life in the garage , like a time capsule.

And indeed - looking at the photo, it is difficult to believe that in front of you is not a brand new sports car from the cabin, but a car that is already 22 years old. The body in the color of Silver Metallic shines , as if it only got off the assembly line. Neither chips, no scratches, no hint of rust. Even tires are native - the same goodyear eagle f1 that were installed from the factory. And also original brushes of wipers, upholstery of seats without traces of wear and untouched dashboard. This is the rare case when the car is not just well preserved - it experienced decades in Anabiosis , without having lost a gram of her sports charisma.

technically, too, everything is at the highest level. Under the hood- 4.6-liter V8 with the EATON compressor, which issues 390 liters. s. and 529 Nm of torque . In a couple to the motor, 6-speed mechanics , and the drive, of course, is the rear. Such a Mustang at one time accelerated to “hundreds” for 5.1 seconds , which was an excellent indicator for the beginning of the 2000s. Even now, after two decades, these numbers are impressive, especially taking into account the fact that we are talking about a serial car, and not a racing car.

And now the most interesting. This Mustang is put up for sale for $ 55,000 . Many? Especially when you consider that for the same money in the United States you can buy absolutely the new Ford Mustang GT , with a bunch of modern technology, fresh design and guarantee. But the buyers are located - and how. Because for collectors and fans of the brand, value here is not in speed or horsepower. Value - in uniqueness and state . It’s like a rare brand or vintage clock - they are not just old, they are unique .

You can skeptically say: "This is just an old car." But this is the case when old age is not a minus, but dignity. After all, to find today Mustang SVT Cobra in ideal condition , and even with minimal mileage is like finding a needle in a haystack. So, a price tag of $ 55,000 is not so much a price for a car as a ticket to the past , the ability to touch the era when the cars had its own character, the sound and smell of real gasoline.

This Mustang is not just a means of transportation. This is emotions, history and passion sealed in metal and skin. And maybe that is why it costs more than a new model: because the new Mustang will only start its history , and this one has already become a legend.
