Cool Story but I don't see that car being worth a fortune for a very long time
I really question the history. Cool story, but not likely true.
Even then, 4 eye cars just don't, and won't, bring big money. I had a really rare immaculate McLaren Capri, and I had to practically give it away when I sold it.

83 did not start out with the 5 speed.

- T5 didn't come out till 83
- roller blocks not till 85
Just because you're a plant manager doesn't mean you have access to proto type parts. The plant and engineering are completely different entities so this story has many holes.

op:
I smell something.....especially since the '83 GT was launched with the SROD 4 speed at Job#1. The T-5 was a running change later in the model year. Also he ordered it in '79 and just kept it there minus the drivetrain for years? As stated above the roller came out in 1985. No chance this is legit....

Wow, ok so the majority are blowing holes in another true story. So why couldn't have the car just sat waiting on an engine like described. Lets see, my 92 shows up in some of the official records as me being the first owner in 98. Ok, I repeat my 1992 shows me as its first registered owner in 1998. That's 6 years of mystery status. It had 10,200 miles on it when I bought it in 98. Some of you all have tried to poke holes in my story too. You all have to remember, Ford had a historical record of not documenting low, special build projects very well. I am old enough to be able to remember and cite several such examples.

Wrong forum, this car has NOTHING to do with a 1993 Cobra.
I swear people don't read anymore, or comprehend simple english.

Bullshit :burn:
No surprise the owner of the famous unicorn 1992 Cobra Convertible defends this fantasy. By all means believe a 1979 Cobra was produced sans drivetrain only to sit AT THE PLANT for years until 1981 when it magically got a super secret prototype 5.0 4V with a T5 and a roller cam. The 4V was a year from production for the '83s...the T5 was longer than that after Job #1 and the roller cam was 1985. Please....
How could it be numbers matching when the engine if from years after the car was built? What numbers match?? Basically he bought a "body in white" and added a factory eng/trans from a later car. Would a marti report show all of this?
Just saying that I know of many low build Fords that the enthusiast population out there said "oh no such thing" only to have it turn out that there were some produced after all.

I would love to see a Marti report or some kind of proof.
1. history has shown that from time to time things like this have happened.
Prototypes on or off the record not destroyed or something like this story.
While I doubt it and would like to see proof it has happened in the past.
2. Since it is possible and we would like to see proof 1 way or the other this thread has been left here.
The forum is called "Fox body cobras" Not 93 Cobras so as long as the story is possible we have no issue with it remaining until we find out 1 way or the other. At that point we will decided what happens to it.
