Build# 1442

Being new to the forum and a new 93 Cobra owner, I see everyone pretty much knows the history of their car. Here's the vin # for my car, 1FACP42D7PF155609. If anyone has any history of my car, I'd love to hear it, hopefully it's all good.

I don't know what number it is, but I got it from Ohio and it is teal.

no more info than that? Did you get it from Cincy? I know of a 23k mile car that recently was for sale, or sold...

aside from that- love to see pics..

A friend of mine lives in Columbus and he let me know about this car, what I know about decoding vin#'s it matched that it is a cobra, so I swiped it up. I still haven't picked the car up yet but I will within the next 2 weeks, I'm from outside of Philly and I'm trying to figure out should I fly out and drive it home or ship it home. I got some pics that the former owner sent but I'll post some better quality ones once I figure out how to post pics up.

I sold my 23k mile car in Cincy to another Ohio guy. He drove down from Cleveland and picked her up two weeks ago. I also know what car this guy just bought from Columbus. I was kinda interested in it too but decided to pass on it. If its the same car which im pretty sure it is. Its teal/gray with around 55k miles and a fair amount of non factory part and needing a little TLC but would have been a fair deal if he talked the guy down any.

There are 119,000 miles on this car and I got it for 7k. My friend tells me it's in great condition and if there is any minor things wrong with the car, I'm sure I'll be able to fix this car up to it's original condition. The car has never been in an accident and all body tags are there. If you have a chance post some pics of my 67 plz.

I think that is the same car. Was he asking 8,500? I would have bought it for 7. He said the motor only has like 55k miles on it

I was real worried if it was the original motor, now that you say the motor has 55k that makes me wonder if the original motor is there, I'll have to investigate this!!

But at 7k, who cares?

I paid 10,500 for my car because it has matching numbers and cloth.. its super clean and all.. needs a little body work to be perfect-- but to hear you paid 7k is a kick in the nutz.

I'd still like to have the original engine that came with the car, hopefully it was a rebuild.
