[QUOTE="Cobra Jet, post: 16786655, member: 127353"] While this post is interesting, I have so many questions…. First, yes the Marti does state it was used as a “Test” vehicle, but for a 1993 Cobra, there’s no facts to prove that part of the story. For all we know, that car could have been a test bed for emissions, brakes, or revised engine changes. Just because it has a “Cobra” upper intake on it, doesn’t mean it was in fact a test vehicle used for the 1993 Cobra. Open the passenger door, what is the PCM code in the door jamb? Pull the passenger side kick panel off and tell us what the Ford PCM code is on it. IF this is a test vehicle for a 1993 Cobra, it’s going to have other Ford nomenclature/labels or possibly hand written marker on the outer case. It also won’t be an A9L processor if it was all “test”. Looking at the images of the car, there’s too many aftermarket upgrades to even begin to determine if this was truly a testbed for a 1993 Cobra. IMO, if it WAS a test for the 1993 Cobra, the value is diminished by the fact that any original parts have been removed and aftermarket parts are on the car. Ford didn’t drive around test vehicles with such plaques displaying what the car was used for and when. Someone added that and does the owner have ANY paperwork from Dearborn to back up the story? Not trying to put down the car or the “story”, but how can anyone confirm this was in fact used as a 1993 Cobra test vehicle, and not just some random pulled off the line of the other 5.0 test vehicles? Pull the upper intake off and post the Ford part #’s on it - because if that was a prototype upper Cobra intake, it won’t have the standard 1993 Ford part/engineering numbers on it. It also does not look like one of the early 1993 Cobra upper intakes that are so often posted online in the forums or in the SVT books. [/QUOTE]
