1993 Cobra Registry

Some questions I was wondering about to tell if a stock car has been altered (pictures below):

1. Is the back of the front bumper painted? Does anyone have a picture of their car underneath the front bumper? Also, doesn't it look like there is a piece of wood beginh the front bumper in the picture below? (First and last pic)

2. Did the horse emblem in the front grill have a green sticker behind it from the factory?

3. Did all cobras come with the Fuel Shutoff switch sticker from the factory just right of the hood latch? And would you see slight metallic overspray on the under side of the hood, or should it all be flat?

4. Were the hood stops (not sure if this is what they are called) painted the same color as the car or were they black on some cars?

5. Do the original hatch supports have a green logo on them and are they dated?

Most have the fuel sticker on the hood, everything else looks OK. And that wood behind the bumper is a sheet of plywood on the wall in the background

Thanks 1993. My fault...i didn't think to look at the fan sitting there.

Do you know if you would see metallic overspray on the under side of the hood? It's very slight and towards the front of the hood.

Hood has all VIN tags.

weird horse looks pitted ?

Also, last picture to the far left notice rust on the inner bumper bracket and on the bolts maybe just flash rust though

I couldn't tell if it was pitted or if that was water droplets

could be but zoom in, if it was just washed there is dust or dirt behind the pony. Looks up above kinda looks like a dull overspray finish its hard to tell.

Maybe wax not wiped off...it looks green.

more pics

Hood stops are painted body color as well.

The fender bolts all around are sprayed the body color as well, right? Were they ever black (except on the black cars)?

Yes bolts should be body color as well.

Bottom of radiator support looks to have rust on it in the third picture you just posted.

I have never seen on rust on the inside like that that's very strange.

As for the bottom of the radiator support it looks like scuffs that took the paint off and then it turned to rust?

Where is this one listed?

Were hoods metal from factory?
