Hey fellas ive got a slick 99 cobra, but i would rather get a 96-98 because of the solid rear axle, and looks. At my dealership we just got a black 96 cobra in for trade. It is a 96 with 4.10 gears and a cold air induc, 37K miles. My question is the car has cloth interior. I called Ford SVT and they said only 13 were made in 96 with cloth . Does anyone else have a cobra with cloth...and if so was there any specific reason that out of 7500 cars built only 13 had cloth in 96..weird anyway thanks in advance....

actually, 13 Cobra coupes had black cloth in 1996
8 Cobra coupes had saddle cloth in 1996

...and...

7 Cobra convertibles had black cloth in 1996
3 Cobra convertibles had saddle cloth in 1996

total number of coupes = 7496
total number of convertibles = 2509

total = 10,005

A friend of mine had one of the black on black cloth 96's. Last year he sold it to some kid in the next town over who ended up putting it into a ditch and totaling it.

So, there are 12 of them left now, or less.

They are spec ordered that way....

Some folks don't like leather and esp Ford leather. I'm one of those.

I always switch my Stangs out to cloth. I have the leather sitting in the basement.

I may stand corrected, but I'm pretty sure all Cobras came with the Mach460 stereo system. I don't think cloth interior is going to be looked at as rare by a collector. JMO

i think it is kinda cool, it gives it that real purist race car feel. and Hersheyman, those with cloth, or atleast the one i saw did not have the Mach stereo, definitly different than the norm.

Mine came from the factory with cloth but it had stock leather when I bought it. Only 5 Chrome Yellow 98 hardtops with cloth. Mine does have Mach 460.
