Vin# 1FACP42D0PF179900
Build# 4072
**The car is located near Victoria on Vancouver Island, NOT in Maple Ridge as the listing states.**
This is a 1993 SVT Cobra that has been extensively modified so MCA purists, run away now...
Cobra #4072 of 4993 has been 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.
I have the SVT certificate from Ford and 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 http://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 according to the auto check when I bought it, I'm the fourth owner. 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 87985 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.

The quarter window mouldings are in good cond, not perfect but not too sun faded
The front/rear window trim is a little faded and would look better replaced after painting the car
As far as I’m aware the glass is mostly original Ford Carlite. I’ve never replaced or repaired any of it, there is faint water spotting but there’s no tint or scratches. Rear defroster still works

CCW Classic wheels 18x10 rear and 17x8.5 front for a subtle staggered stance. Satin silver lips around flat black shot peaned faces. All CCW wheels are custom built and high end. The centre caps for the front rims need a small amount of metal sanding/machining to fit a little better, have two extra caps also.
Tires are Nitto NT05 performance 275ZR/35 rear 235ZR/40. More of a stretched tuner look than full width muscle car. Ride measures flat all around and handles amazing for an “old school” solid rear car.
I require $1000 deposit within 72 hrs of the auction close via bank draft, cash or Paypal if necessary. The balance is to be paid within a week via certified bank draft or cash. If you're from out of town or more time is needed then you must contact me or it's being relisted, and you'll be outed as a deadbeat.
Car is being listed locally as well so I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells.
I'll help you in getting the car but any shipping/delivery costs are your own. I don't have time to spend handling your arrangements so you're on your own but I will assist best my time will allow.
