In the early 2000s, those fortunate enough to enroll in the Bob Bondurant School of High-Performance Driving likely recall a distinct experience: cramming into instructor-driven cars for an introductory lap. Bondurant boasted 18 of these robust Fords, each a formidable beast reminiscent of 1960s moonshine runners. With this exclusive auction, you can claim ownership of one of these iconic machines.
Under the hood, it features a potent 4.6-liter DOHC V8 sourced from the Mustang Cobra and an oversized water pump and radiator for improved cooling. Equipped with a five-speed manual transmission and a Traction-Lok rear differential, this car delivers thrilling driving dynamics. Enhancements continue with a performance-tuned suspension, slotted disc brakes, and 17″ Cobra R wheels wrapped in Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires.
The exterior is adorned with a custom front bumper, while the interior boasts a roll cage, Corbeau racing driver seat, and Simpson multi-point harnesses for safety. Despite its track-oriented modifications, this “Cobra Vic” retains modern comforts like air conditioning, power windows, and a CD stereo. The cabin also features a Ford Contour-sourced center console housing the shifter and emergency brake handle.
This particular car, acquired by the seller from Bondurant in 2007, has undergone significant refinements, including a black exterior finish and replacement of the exhaust system and radiator. The odometer reads just 21,000 miles, with approximately 10,000 miles added under current ownership.
Powered by the 4.6-liter DOHC V8, this “Cobra Vic” delivers impressive performance. The engine was retrofitted by Roush Performance and added various upgrades, including a Cobra R-style oil cooler and larger cooling components.
This unique vehicle, offered at no reserve, comes with a clean Carfax report and a clean California title. With its rare pedigree and track-inspired enhancements, this 1999 Ford Crown Victoria “Cobra Vic” is sure to turn heads wherever it goes. This 1999 Ford Crown Victoria “Cobra Vic” 5-Speed is currently being auctioned on Bring a Trailer with a top bid of $23,000 and the auction is scheduled to come to a close in the following days.
