1993 Cobra Registry

Took the Convertible out of storage last week. Washed, waxed it and attended a local chow with it at the Harley Dealer. I took a few photos after the show as my camera was dead at the show, dum I know. Here are a few photos that turned out pretty good I thought. The wax job turned out great as you will see in one particular shot.

Even Mr. Orange himself thinks ebony looks so pretty!!

Nice pics, Georgia!

Thanks Z. That's the sort of good wax job you get when you do it on a nice 67 deg day and in the shade. Best wax job I have done in a while.

Lookin sharp Snake

Thanks Vin. I am going to be scheduling a Cruise in at Cooks on a Fri very soon, so keep your ears to the vine. I am now trying to decide what Friday to use that there is no conflict on. Like to see you attend if you can.

THAT'S A GOOD ONE!

He does from forum to forum talking about his 92 cobra "promotional vehicle" and no matter what anyone says, we are wrong, and he is correct.



From him:

"It is not a prototype. It is , however, a promotional car. It is #2 of a build of 10 such cars promoted at the end of the 1992 model year. I use the car for car shows and some pleasure driving. It is triple black and very low milage. I do have the original Certificate as well as the build sheets and the window sticker. Those of us who have been around Fords as long as I have know how badly Ford documents certain promotional cars. I can remember when no one thought 1968 High Country Specials were real until they began to surface. I also remember when the 1972 Sprint package was offered and no one thought any convertibles were part of that run of cars until a few made the scene. I was also at the 40th anniversary show in 2004 outside of Nashville, TN where I ran into another one of the Promotional Convertibles that mine is part of, a Red one. They are out there. Give it time and the other cars will slowly show up and make themselves known like all the less well known low production cars always do. "

"I am the third owner of my car and have owned it since March 1998. I purchased it in Static, TN. The car was part of a promotion began at the end of the 1992 model run. Ford was in a law suit over the rights to the Cobra name going into 1993. They nearly waited too long to reuse the name and the rights to the name were up for rights. The marketing dept ran the promotion through dealerships at key marketing centers across the country. Mine came from Fairlane Ford in Dearborn. The first owner was a SVT engineer. SVT sent these dealers the Cobra additions for them to take an existing convertible from inventory and convert and retitle. The luggage rack was deleted and the Cars and Concepts rear wing spoiler was added (same unit as on the Limited Edition, Spring Time edition and 7-Up cars). The dealer additionally added a Ram Air hood (noted on my original window sticker provided to me by the original owner whom I have contacted). My cars production date is 06/01/92. When I figure out how to post photos on this site I will post them."

Looks good Georgia but does it have an LX door molding on the drivers side and a GT on the passenger?

The door moldings are the same on both sides. What made you ask that?

The Snake

Because it has lx door moldings.

This is old news around here, Kevin. Water under the bridge ... for most of us, anyway.
