#477 out of #4,993 produced

Assembled at Dearborn Assembly Plant on 02/17/93

SVT Certificate from Ford

In 1993, Ford launched its first performance-based Cobra since the legendary cars of the late 1960’s. This was a one-year only car and the only Fox body based Cobra built. The production run was limited to a mere 4,993 examples. Of those, only 448 were built in this rare color combination. Although emission laws still had a strangle hold on our muscle cars, Ford still managed to coax 235 horsepower and a whopping 280 pound feet of torque from the legendary 5.0L Windsor engine. With zero to 60 times at 5.6 seconds and the deep growl from the large V8 engine, these Cobras were truly intimidating on the street throughout the 90’s.



Due to their popularity on the drag strips, very few of these collectible cars survived let alone remained original.



The first owner purchased this Cobra from a local Orange County, California Ford dealership. This owner was a mature woman (the proverbial grandma from Pasadena) who primarily used the car to visit her daughter in Arizona. For the next 5-years, she racked up 63,000 miles commuting to Phoenix…all freeway miles. In 1998, she decided she needed something more practical for this 700-mile round trip; so, she traded the car into Villa Ford in Orange, California for a SVT Contour. At the time, the current owner’s uncle worked at this dealership and knew his nephew had been looking for a ’93 Cobra for some time now. So, he made a quick call and the current owner was at the dealership within the hour. He purchased the car in April of 1998 and began an incredibly well-documented 16-year relationship with this Cobra.



Every service, repair, and enhancement was documented. The stack of receipts is impressive. The car was never abused. It was initially used as a daily driver and then it became more of a weekend car. It was always garaged, regularly detailed, and obsessively serviced. The engine is bone stock and the valve covers have never been removed. Any upgrade made was tasteful and to improve reliability/performance. All OEM original parts have been preserved and will be included with the car. The approach this owner took with the car was to retain originality while carefully enhancing the one weak link: the suspension. As original rubber suspension components began to deteriorate, they were replaced with upgraded items. The list is extensive. It includes the following:



New tires Hankook V12 245/45/17 mounted 50 miles ago
New MAC 1-5/8” unequal shorty length headers back custom exhaust routing around Griggs suspension with new cats 2 years / 1K miles ago, Muffler man in Placentia ($1,000). Easily passes California’s strict smog test. Lounder “dump” pipes are available.

As you can see, thousands and thousands of dollars were invested in creating one of the best driving Cobras on the road.



This owner was fanatical about caring for the car. It was ALWAYS garaged and rarely left unattended. The exterior is in great condition. The paint is all original and verified with a paint meter. As most know, these cars tend to look tired quite easily if not obsessively maintained. All the steel panels are original and carry their correct factory VIN sticker. The front part of the hood shows some light checking in the paint, but at least it is original. There are no signs of abuse. The interior is equally as nice. It is all-original with hardly any signs of use. The A/C blows cold and all the gauges, buttons, switches, etc. work properly. The dash is straight with no cracks. The headliner is tight with no rips or sagging. The seats look amazing with very little signs of wear. The driver door stay broke and we have a new replacement one. It is included with the car but not installed.



I was surprised at how nice this Cobra is to drive. Yes, it has gobs and gobs of torque/power and accelerates easily. However, it doesn’t have that American-car-rattle that you would expect. Everything feels tight and solid. The brakes are strong and the shifting is butter smooth. There is nothing I would change about this Cobra. It is just right.



California registration is paid through April of 2015



This Mustang comes with all the extra keys, most of the oem original parts, owners manuals, spare tire, jack, tools, car cover, original sales technical bulletin, and 16-years worth of receipts.
