1998 Ford Contour SVT Base

1998 Ford Contour SVT The Ford Contour was a compact sedan sold in North America from 1995 to 2000. The SVT model, produced from 1998 to 2000 by Ford's Special Vehicle Team (SVT), was a limited production performance variant. (Only about 11,500 Contour SVTs were produced over three years.) The SVT featured a more powerful V6 engine, sport-tuned suspension, larger brakes and distinctive styling. Toreador Red Metallic Exterior- This 1998 Contour SVT is a 2-owner, well cared for version of this performance sedan. The Toreador Red Metallic exterior is in overall good condition and is accented by front/side/rear ground effects skirting, fog lights and 16 factory aluminum wheels that mount Yokohama radials. The original Midnight Blue leather interior shows minor wear and presents well. Features include A/C, dual front airbags, SVT instrumentation, sport bucket seating with 10-way power driver seat and 60/40 split rear seat. Other convenience options add power tinted windows, tilt-wheel, cruise, power locks, anti-theft alarm, keyless entry and premium AM/FM/Cassette sound system. (Window sticker included with the car) Powered by Ford 2.5L V6 with Porsche Engineering- The Contour SVT is powered by Ford's naturally aspired 2.5L DOHC V6 that was developed for the Ford Contour/Mercury Mystique models in conjunction with Porsche AG. The SVT version was rated at 195bhp-165lb/ft and was equipped with high-flow intake, performance camshaft and low-restriction dual exhaust. It is backed by a 5-speed manual FWD transaxle. The Ford Contour SVT chassis features four-wheel independent suspension, power rack/pinion steering and HD-SVT ABS 4-wheel power disc brakes. The SVT package also includes HD SVT MacPherson struts, SVT springs and front /rear stabilizer bars. Enthusiasts regard the Contour SVT as one of Ford's best sport sedans of the '90s.
