In the 1990s, Ford’s Special Vehicle Team had ambitious plans for performance vehicles. One of their ideas was an SVT Crown Victoria, featuring a five-speed manual transmission and an engine from a Mustang Cobra. Although this car was never produced, Roush took inspiration from the concept and built 18 “Cobra Vics” for the Bob Bondurant driving school in Arizona. Now, one of these rare vehicles is up for sale.

The Ford Crown Victoria is currently listed on Bring A Trailer. As of September 21, the highest bid stands at $23,000, with less than a day remaining in the auction. According to the listing, the car was purchased from the Bondurant estate in 2022 and still bears faded Bondurant markings. Although parts of the vehicle have been repainted, the description notes that the clearcoat is cracked, and there are faded areas.

Despite being 23 years old, this Ford Crown Victoria has only 600 miles on the odometer. This figure is impressive, especially considering the car’s large size. These miles were likely accumulated during its time at the driving school’s race track. The vehicle is in running condition, as seen in the accompanying walkaround video. The “Cobra Vic” still drives like a new car.
