In 1996, Mustang fans were expecting t he 5.8 L V8 used in the 1995 Cobra R to make its return to the regular production. However, this is not what they got.

Let’s start with the exterior of the MY 1996 Mustang. The changes were subtle. A retro honeycomb grille was added and the rear tail lights were re-oriented to the original 1960s vertical. The only other significant change was that of one particular paint package available on the SVT Cobras called Mystic. For those of us who grew up in the 90s, this...
The GTS model was dropped however an option delete package was made available that echoed the equipment level of the defunct trim level. It was the Option 248A.
