Ford: Mustang SVT Cobra Hatchback 2-Door

This is a 1993 SVT Cobra that has been extensively modified. (ruined) 

Modified to the point of no return if you wanted to return it to 100% original. The car wasn't original when I bought it so I continued it down the path to the dark side and built it to my liking. And what I like are cars to enjoy and not keep in bubble wrap hoping they become collectors. If you're a Mustang purist then look away. find another car and keep your comments to yourself. I played with my Hot Wheels as a kid and have never stopped since.

You can run the VIN to verify that it is a real '93 Cobra and obtain all the options that it came with so there's no point in me listing the factory specs for this model built.  

Go to www. 1993cobra. com for all you need to know about these great cars and then scratch your head as to why I'd ruin one.

I've owned it for almost nine years and know for sure I'm the third owner. probably the fourth. I brought it home from WA State with a clean title. bill of sale. and had it imported by a customs broker with all the accompanying paperwork. I own it outright and plan to sell it to someone who will as well. If you need financing. approval for a loan. or your wife's permission please don't waste both our time.  

The car had 77800 miles on it when I bought it. had 87840 miles when we did the motor build/clutch in August of last year. and currently has 87983 miles. Driven as a weekend toy and garage kept by myself and the previous owner.  

As long as I've owned it. no one that has touched the car mechanically or cosmetically is anything but a trusted professional with high standards approaching OCD and an “anality" matching my own.  

Body/Exterior:

There is no bondo or filler on this car. It was never hit and never had rust. Every panel thats been altered is because of my vision for the finished result and not damage repair. The car is straight. has been welded in metal and finished to a high degree of sanding and primer. All work performed by master body men to a high level. they don't work at Maaco. Prep for paint will be minimal and once sprayed this will be one very smooth. clean Fox body.

Black clear coat code UA is the original color though there's not much left

Not the original hood. but has been resurfaced and prepped in black primer.

Roof skin from a solid roof hatchback. The sunroof never leaked. I just never liked it and the way to change that properly isn't with an ill fitting patch. It was done right with all the bracing in tact and meticulously welded/grinded/sanded and finished in grey primer.

Rear wing removed. holes welded in and lower hatch finished in black primer. I no longer have the Cobra wing.

GT front bumper from Latemodel Restoration Supply (LRS). I no longer have the Cobra bumper.
