VIN TAG QUESTION

Post by wazana9050 »

Looking at a 93 Cobra for sale and received VIN TAG pictures, I’m concerned that one seems odd looking - see picture - all opinions would be appreciated. Car isn’t local to me so I can’t see in person.

In the hatch area they were placed in several different places. Looks legit to me, what do you think is odd about it?

Looked really crooked versus others I’ve seen to me and I’d never seen them placed over the crease like that - but definitely understand that they were placed by hand.

There is not perfect rime or reason on where the tags were placed, there has been some question on rear bumper placement also.
BTW That car is build #68 built on 2-3-1993 Originally sold to Dahl Ford Inc. Lacrosse, WI. RD/C6 radio code 5 no sunroof originally sold to a guy in Tomah, WI.

I appreciate the insight - can you educate me on the early cars having a different manifold and if that is the case, what was the downside or upside of it all?

Here is a recent thread about the early intakes, flat intakes supposed to make a different noise during acceleration no benefit.

To be honest I see all what your seeing for sale, there are quite a few "underground" deals going on these days. I recently acquired another teal/leather car, a friend knew of the car finally came for sale and he couldn't buy it. So he passed the information along to me, just have to hang tight and always search. Never know when a car will come for sale.

Before the virus thing happened people were paying top dollar for them, since that I believe they took a little hit for now. I'd say a fair price for the car would be $30-$35k, depending on ownership, paperwork, sunroof car, how original it is. Build number and cloth interior is a plus, if an earlier build number car I'd lean towards a little more. Really depends how long you want to wait to find a car, like I said there are deals being done outside of the public eyes and advertising.
