Up for bid on this auction is a 1993 Ford Mustang Cobra project car. I'll give you everything I know about it. I bought this car a little over a year ago as a project 1993 Cobra for myself. I had the intentions of getting this car back to it's glory but have never been able to get to it. I have another Cobra and right now there is only room for one with kids and my job so I don't want it just sitting like this and would like to see it finished. This car is number 1799 and I have the window sticker Owners manuals and Certificate from SVT, Decode letter from Ford and the build sheets for this vehicle as well. This car had every option except CD player and engine block warmer according to the window sticker. This is the Vibrant Red exterior with Opal Grey Interior. This 1 of 4993 built and 1 of 1007 identical to this one. This is the very first Cobra's built by the SPECIAL VEHICLE TEAM (SVT) This is also the last year of the coveted Fox body mustang era. go to 1993 cobra com which is a registry and also loaded with facts on these cars. I'm the third owner of this vehicle. I bought this car off the son whose father bought the car new. (It was kept in the family) However, I have some bad news as this car has a reconstructed title now due to some kind of title BS.. I bought the car with a clean Virginia title I have proof as I made a copy of it before it was sent in to Harrisburg and they sent me a "reconstructed" branded title back. I fought and fought to get this reversed and even pulled a car fax and sent an inspection report in showing all matching vin#'s on this vehicle even though yes it's damaged now but they don't know that. Anyway, I could not get it reversed. I have since give up. Feel free to continue the fight. I will give new owner all the info and people that were contacted if they want to still fight it out. To get back to the car, it has 79k on it although mileage is exempt on a vehicle of this age anyway in our state. The interior is in decent condition. Also, I have a brand new never used OEM grey Cobra specific Floor mats worth 200.00 by themselves. Seats are not original I had bought a set of seats for this car as he had a Carbon fiber Recaro in it that he took out. Was planning on getting a TMI interior kit and redoing the interior. (They make a very nice 03/04 cobra replica set) Carpet seems to be in decent shape as well. The Optima battery pictured does not come with it, But it will come with a good used battery. This car has A full exhaust consisting of equal length headers, H-pipe and Flowmaster Cat-back. One of the absolute positives for the car is that it is completely rust free. Please see the pics. This was a California car. To be exact it was sold new at Albany Ford, 718 San Pablo Ave., Albany, Ca. 94706. This car runs and drives straight down the road. Yes, I have drove this on the road on occasional to the gas station as it is plated and legally registered to me. This car is damaged in the passenger side door and fender area. It has also damaged the rocker as well. Please see pics of the damage and feel free to email me. I do have a fender and a clean door for this as well as a OEM rocker just in case it would be needed. I also have the inner fender which was not broken from the damage as well as a OEM Gt Nose which is identical except it doesn't have the cut out which is a relatively easy modification. However, my body man said the front cover could be sent out and repaired if I really wanted to be particular. Also, the ground effects are included and are undamaged other than some flaking paint and a few scuffs which I was very thankful for as these parts are super hard to come by and they are included see pics of them. As far as the frame is concerned there is no frame damage, he said it was in spec. and is fine. I have the number of the body shop you can speak with that looked at the car if you would like. He did say the rocker would need pulled/straightened and the stress/tweaks to the bottom of the quarter panel would come out. (Again, see pics) To save some questions about some of the pictures on this listing. Most of them are not to show you damage as much as I wanted to show that the main structure isn't damaged and other than being a little dusty is clean and rust-free. And no nothing is leaking in the pics of the structure I had washed underneath and there was still some damp spots that hadn't dried yet. Also, yes the fender is loosely sitting on the car on the passenger side as it was removed by the body shop for inspection purposes. Like I said previous to this damage all vin stickers on all panels match. Ask any questions about the pics though that you would like. AND NO the quarter panel was not struck in the collision DOOR AND FENDER BUMPER COVER ONLY. There is just a stress crease in quarter from lower rocker that like he said will come out when he pulls/straightens the rocker. These cars are not super easy to come across and I feel they are very special being they are the fist SVT Cobra to be back on the market. These 93 Cobra's are getting harder and harder to find. my reserve is low and I'm not trying to kill anyone with the price. I'm just looking to recoup my investment and looking for this car to go to someone who will put it back on the road. Please email with questions, Thanks for looking and Bid with Confidence. I have to the best of my ability described the car accurately. The information below is courtesy of 1993Cobra com

Engine Specifications
The 1993 Cobra came with a modified 5.0L engine with GT-40 heads and GT-40 cast aluminum intake manifold along with a new camshaft. Here are some specs for this engine:
Cylinder heads:
GT-40 heads previously sold by Ford Motorsports SVO with 1.84 intake and 1.54 exhaust valves. Heads were milled from 64cc down to 62.5 cc to raise the compression ratio a bit although the official compression ratio is 9.0:1 and were topped off with a set of Crane 1.7 ratio full roller rockers. Heads used a pedestal type of mounting system for the rockers. Part number for the cylinder heads is F3ZZ-6049-B up till 04/13/93 and F4ZZ-6049-B after date 04/13/93
Camshaft:
Ford designed a new camshaft grind to bring back some of the low end torque that was now lost using these higher flowing cylinder heads. Part number for the cam is F3ZE-6250-CA. Specs are as follows:
Intake/Exhaust duration in degrees of crankshaft rotation: 270/270 and at 0.050 lift 209/209
Intake/Exhaust lift at valve with 1.7 rocker ratio: 0.479/0.479"
Lobe separation is 118.3 degrees with 115 intake lobe center and a 121.5 exhaust lobe center.
Timing events at 0.050 lift are:
Intake: (BTDC):-10.5 / (ABDC): 39.5
Exhaust: (BBDC): 46.0 / (ATDC): -17.0
Intake:
Ford cast an aluminum version of the popular GT-40 intake with the staggered ports. Part number is F3ZZ-9424-C for the upper and F3ZZ-9424-D. There are 2 versions cast for the upper intake. The first version has a flat side on the plenum an apparently was causing harmonic noise at certain rpms and was revised with the more common stepped side plenum. The lower intake had a runner diameter of 1.64 inches and original lower intakes are distinguished from their Motorsport versions by having the firing order cast into the intake near the cutout for the distributor. Ford Motorsport also offered 2 different versions of the lower intake during it's production run. Sometime in the late 90's they went to a smaller cast runner where it meets the cylinder head. A side by side comparison would make the difference readily noticeable.
Fuel/Air intake:
The 93 Cobra got 24 lb/hr fuel injectors with a blue top. Early production Cobra's had unpainted injector bodies with the blue top and later versions and Motorsport versions had the injector body painted black. Fuel rails were standard as well as the fuel pump.
Air intake was identical to the production 5.0 except for the size of the mass air meter which was upgraded to 70mm vs. the 55 mm installed on the regular 5.0L. A vertical bar was added to the mass air meter to allow for more accurate metering of the incoming air. The throttle body installed on the Cobra was also upgraded to 65mm vs. the 60mm size installed on the regular 5.0L.
Exhaust:
The mufflers were retuned for less restriction and carried part number F3ZZ-5230-A (RH) and F3ZZ-5230-B (LH). Engineering numbers (numbers stamped on the mufflers) are: F3ZC-5230-CC (RH) and F3ZC-5232-DC (LH). They were 2.25" in diameter and had lengthened hangers to clear the rear bumper of the 93 Cobra. The headers and H-pipe were the same as regular 5.0L Mustangs.
Other:
The water pump and crankshaft pulleys were a different diameter than the regular 5.0L. The crankshaft pulley was reduced in size by 14% to underdrive the other accessories for more power but the drawback was a slower spinning water pump. To solve this problem, Ford also reduced the size of the water pump pulley by 14% to bring back the lost coolant flow. Part number for the crankshaft pulley is F3ZZ-6A312-A, water pump pulley is part number F3ZZ-8509-A and part number for the now shorter belt is F3ZZ-8620-A.
Drivetrain:
The Borg Warner T-5 installed on the 93 Cobra had a few upgrades to handle the extra power now made by the modified engine. Specific items include a tapered roller pocket bearing on the input shaft to output shaft. This same setup is used on the T-5Z version sold through Ford Racing. The cluster gears were also phosphate coated but this was a modification done to all V8 5.0L Mustangs in 1993. Shifters in 93 were also short throw versions and all shift knobs including those in the 93 Cobra were black plastic not covered in leather. Leather shift knobs would not show up on Cobra's until 1994.
The clutch was upgraded to provide more clamping force to reduce clutch slip and pedal effort was decreased compared to the regular 5.0L as an added bonus. Part number for the pressure plate is F3ZZ-7563-A and the clutch disc is part number F3ZZ-7550-A.
The driveshaft also included a hardened front yoke but it was an unnecessary modification for Ford as many regular 5.0L driveshaft have been through way more horsepower than the 235 offered in the Cobra.
The Differential was same as other production 5.0L except for the rear wheel disc brakes sourced from the Thunderbird Turbo coupes in the late 80's. They all came with 3.08:1 gear ratio with traction lock. No other gear ratio was available from the factory. Axle part number is F3ZZ-4234-A.
Suspension/Brakes:
Front springs used on the 1993 Cobra were progressive springs rated at 425-530 lb/in and had the tag code of "BO". General part number is E5ZZ-5310-J. Rear springs were linear and the same rate as those used on the 4 cylinder Mustangs at 160 lb/in with a tag code of "HH". General part number is D9BZ-5560-M.
The sway bar in front of the Cobra was also smaller than the one used in the regular 5.0L measuring in at 1.125" or 28.5mm. The rear sway bar is the same as other 5.0L measuring in at 0.83" or 21mm.
The 93 Cobra got specific durometer bushings in the upper control arms and in the front lower control arms. The paint mark on the control arms is yellow.
Shocks and struts were valved specifically for the 93 Cobra and were manufactured by Tokico. Part number for the struts is F3ZZ-18124-A and the shocks are part number F3ZZ-18125-A.
The front brakes were near identical to the regular 5.0L except for the front rotors which carried part number F3ZZ-1102-A. The rotor "hat" or the area where the wheel sat on the hub was 3/4" thicker if laid side by side to a regular 5.0 rotor. The wheels had a different offset because of the wider rear differential so this is how Ford solved the problem. I personally think just manufacturing axle brake brackets would have been cheaper especially since they were already being produced by Ford Motorsports but I'm not a bean counter for Ford. Not to mention rear wheel disc brake conversions for regular Mustangs would have been super easy.
Rear brakes were the same as the ones used on the Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. Axles were 3/4 longer on each side and required special offset wheels. Axle part numbers are F3ZZ-4234-A. Rotors in the rear measured 10.07" in diameter and were 0.945" thick. Part number is F3ZZ-2C026-A. Calipers in the rear were manufactured by Varga for Ford and were a single piston design. Part number is F3ZZ-2552-A (RH) and F3ZZ-2553-A (LH). Parking brake cables were changed for 1993 and the 93 Cobra also had specific parking brake cables for the rear disc. Part number is F3ZZ-2A635-A for both left and right sides.
Other specific 93 Cobra brake items were the power brake booster part number F3ZZ-2005-A and a 2 port master cylinder part number F3ZZ-2140-A. Regular 5.0L Mustangs got a smaller brake booster and a 3 port master cylinder which actually gave more brake pressure. The proportioning valve was also recalibrated as rear disc brakes require more pressure than drum brakes do.
Exterior:
The exterior of the Cobra got some cosmetic upgrades. As we start from the front, the bumper cover in front is identical to the GT except for the cutout in the grille opening with a running horse emblem where the Ford oval once was on the GT. Part number for the insert is F3ZZ-8200-A and could also be ordered from the dealer in the correct color by changing the last letter to: B for red, C for teal and D for black.
The ground effects were also changed and eliminated the air scoops in the front and rear. This gave the car a more subtle look and combined with the new rear bumper cover which was slightly shorter than the GT to allow the tips to show and the rear spoiler, gave the Cobra a unique look and most copied style by other Mustang owners. Cobra's also got snake emblems where the 5.0 would normally be and the "COBRA" emblem was also installed on the drivers rear corner of the hatch.
The wheels are a 7 spoke design and are highly sought after. They measure 17 x 7.5 and are directional meaning there is a part number for the left and right wheels. Part numbers are F3ZZ-1007-A (RH) and F3ZZ-1007-B (LH). These wheels also used a stainless steel center cap that was specific to this car under part number F3ZZ-1130-A. The wheel offset was different to allow the use of the 1.5" wider rear disc brake differential.
Other:
Other specific 93 Cobra items include the floor mats part number F3ZZ-6113086-AAG (gray) and F3ZZ-6113086-AAH (black) and the lack of cruise control for weight savings (how much though is not known). The Cobra also got a different EEC to make it work with the 24# injectors and reduced the total timing to 25 degrees and gave a limiter of sorts. At 85 mph, the computer would add more fuel to protect the motor and there was no timing retard between shifts as rumored. This began in 1994 Mustangs.
Stats:
235 hp @ 4600 rpm and 280 lb/ft @ 4000 rpm
9.0:1 compression ratio
6000 rpm redline

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator recalled for fire risk
Thu, May 19 2022Owners of some 2021 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs are being urged to park their vehicles outdoors and away from structures until they can be taken to dealers for repairs. Ford issued a recall covering 39,000 vehicles due to engine fires under their hoods, and it's not certain at this point what's causing the flames to start. According to documents posted on the National Highway Safety Administration's website, "The remedy is still under development." Ford says it has reports of 16 under-hood fires, with 14 of those happening in vehicles owned by car rental companies. The fires can happen even while the engine isn't running. According to Ford, "Some customers have reported a burning smell and smoke from the front passenger engine compartment while driving." The fires seem to be starting "in the rear of the engine compartment near the passenger side of the vehicle." Despite the under-hood fire risk, Ford is not at this time recommending that owners stop driving the vehicles. "We are working around the clock to determine the root cause of this issue and subsequent remedy so that customers can continue to enjoy using their vehicles," Jeffrey Marentic, general manager of Ford passenger vehicles, said in a statement. Ford says the fires appear to be limited to SUVs built from Dec. 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021 and says it has no fire reports from vehicles built before or after those dates. In a separate recall, Ford is also calling in about 310,000 heavy-duty trucks because the driver's air bag may not inflate in a crash. That recall covers certain 2016 F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 trucks. According to documents posted by NHTSA, dust can get into the airbag wiring in the steering wheel, which can cut electricity to necessary components. To fix the problem, dealers will replace the steering wheel's wiring. And in a third recall, Ford announced it is bringing in 464 Mustang Mach-E electric SUVs from 2021. A software problem in the electric vehicle can cause unintended acceleration, deceleration or a loss of drive power in all-wheel-drive vehicles. NHTSA documents say that the powertrain control computer may not detect a software error. The problem will be fixed by dealers or by an online software update.
Ford reveals Fiesta ST race car, points at road ahead for bigger things in Global RallyCross
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST doesn't go on sale until this summer, but fans of Global RallyCross will be able to catch the car in action before then. Announced ahead of the Chicago Auto Show, the Fiesta ST will be the car run by Ford GRC teams this season, and the model on display in Chicago will be the racecar built by Swedish tuner OlsbergsMSE driven by Tanner Foust and Brian Deegan. Ken Block and his newly renamed Hoonigan Racing Division will also be competing in the Fiesta ST.
The 2013 GRC season has not been announced yet, but the venues will also include the summer X Games events in Brazil, Spain, Germany and, of course, Los Angeles. Ford announced that it will be the sole automotive sponsor of this year's summer X Games, and it will be looking to bring home a gold medal this year after Block placed silver last year.
In other Ken Block- and Ford-related news, another Chicago debut will be a tuned Focus ST called the TrackSTer project. Built in cooperation with Block, Ford and automotive tuner fifteen52, the TrackSTer will get plenty of styling, performance and handling upgrades. Some of the add-ons include a performance exhaust and short-throw shifter from Ford Racing, a rebuilt engine, upgraded components such as the limited-slip differential, intercooler, engine controller and clutch as well as upgraded brakes.
