Like how Roush and Saleen have a little plaque under the hood or in the interior. Did the 93 cobra have any plaques?

No special plates but the body tag attached to the radiator support does have the word "COBRA" stamped into it along with the last numbers of the VIN and other info like paint and interior codes.

A friend is looking at buying a teal 93 and it is a cobra but one thing is weird about the interior: It has the old style dome light and has the little weiner map light between the sunvisors like the 91 and older mustangs. It has grey cloth with power seat option.

Anyone give tech on the interior?

[tommygun]

specifically teal with black cloth with sunroof.

thanks

Richard,
Unless someone can prove otherwise, 93 cobras did not come with steel bearing retainers. (or at least mine did not)

This has been a hot debate lately. According to my sources only the T5Z came with that part.

I wouldnt hold that as the gospel though..lol. It says in there that Teal w/black cloth is 1 of 361 and we all know its 1 of 185.

subn. Great info!

I may have missed it in the first few post but what is the weight difference between the 93 gt and 93 cobra (not r)? I checked on the autotrader website (not very reliable I know) and the gt weighed in the 2600-2700 range but the cobra is listed as 3200 lbs here so I don't see how their could be such a discrepency in weight.

true that site is a little in error...i know there was more than 1 teal with grey cloth....if i am wrong i just wrecked a really rare car...

I have had the transmissions out of 2 of my 93 Cobras and my 93R and all 3 of them had a steel bearing retainer.

I know for sure the trans had never been out of one of the Cobras and the 93R.

[gud2goe]

for the guy that asked about tags...

all the fenders and doors and panels(rocker panels and bumper covers if i am not mistaken) did have vin tags on them....they were not removeable so if they arent there....those items have been replaced

Sorry dude, but 2771 is a teal car and owned by another member here.

You may want to review your certificate again.

Don't worry Lee, I think it's a 'bot throwing out posts to spam the board...

[MassHole]

awesome info!

I dont know if anyone mention the larger front calipers. I would look up the specs, but I feel like shit due to food posioning

[93Cobra#2771]

There were no larger front calipers - same calipers as standard 5.0's.

Really. I thought they where the 73mm calipers. I installed hawk pads on my 93. They told me that they where listed as 2 seperate numbers.

[LEE93COBRA]

no the 73's came on SVO's and certain Lincoln's (can't remember which ones) Cobras came with the same caliper as a regular 87-93 5.0

Damn and all this time I thought I had 73mm calipers. Learn something new everyday. Ford should have put them on. I guess keeping cost down was there goal like no tilt or cruise control. Oh well, just another reason to buy parts.

[LEE93COBRA]

there really isn't any advantage to the 73mm calipers
