I know this was discussed a little already but I thought this detailed info should be on this thread.

Lastly, the paint code is also different as well and MUST be EY not ES like all the other 93 Cobra's. All three of these conditions MUST be met for it to REALLY be one of the 9 non clearcoated cars. Cobra #19 is the only one that went directly to a customer.

They told him the car had been used by Ford as a press car. He had all the documents and everything. I waited around til I missed out on it.
I'm glad someone else knows about the 9 EY code non-clearcoat Cobras. Ford called the ES code Rio red, like the 1994 Cobras. They called the EY code Vibrant red, which, I believe is the same color as ES, but without clearcoat. This info comes from Powerered By SVT by Jim Campisano. I actually joined this forum to find one of these 9 cars. Preferably 1 of the 2 with cloth interiors. I Figured I'd better do a search before I asked about them. That's how I found this thread. (Great thread, btw!) Does anyone know where any of these cars are?

As far as I know all the 9 cars were destroyed. I have heard rumors of the 140 something car being 1 of the 9. But I also asked him to send me a pic of the door tag with the color code and I never got any response. He then relisted it with the right color. The 9 where pre production cars. The only pre production car I have seen was 18 it was a teal car. Maybe someone can provide a picture of 1 of the 9 and we can see if their are actually any left. It is like the 85 G.T, Ford built 11 with 351's in them. But took them all out back and ran them over with a dozer. I actually saw pictures of that years ago. hopefully 1 of the 9 got into the general public.
asperformance, read post #57 to see the requirements of these 9 cars. As per these requirements #140 something could not be 1 of the 9, but It seems #19 & #14 are 2 of the 9 and did go to the public.

Reason: added #14 as per post 66
#14 was one of the 9 as well he did send me a picture of the door tag if I can find it I will post it. But I do know it was released to the public and not destroyed.

I have personally seen one of the 9 cars here in Detroit and passed up buying it back in 94. It was used in salt spray testing and I wouldn't want to own it now based on how much everything was rusting when I saw it.
