Produced on the Dearborn assembly line on March 07, 1996
Mystic production number 1,066 of 2,000
Cobra production number 5,237
It was first shipped to and sold at a dealership in Tupelo Mississippi, now lives in North Carolina.
(not news but need for someones reference, hope all others enjoy as well)
When i got the car it was nearly 2 inches out of alignment in the front, and the hood to fender gap had a diverging spread of over and inch. The stock cobra hood was cracked beyond repair, the driver side fender was popped up about 4 inches and when pressed down the driver door would not close due to clearance issue. The rear bumper has multiple cracks all the way through. The paint was faded and clearcoat was failing and spiderwebbing. Also it had been repainted rather badly at one point in it's life and had runs in the color and clear. Also the exterior A pillar was broken at the bottom and the locks out of both door and the trunk had been pried out with what appeared to be a crow bar by the looks of the marks. The car also had around 60 dents and dings some minor others rather bad all of which resulting in hundreds of hours of body work. i let what i believed to be at the time and upstanding military veteran drive the car and within 4 blocks he lost controll and the car ended up in a chain link fence with a metal pole through the bumper and the fog lamps broken.
new parts:
stock oem 96 Cobra hood
new clear reflector corner markers
new cobra bumper from late model resto
salvaged oem cobra fog lamps (brand new condition)
salvaged exterior a pillar
salvages door locks and license plate tray
hundreds of hours in body work getting it done the right way, nearly no body filler was used on this car. here are some photos before and after. put 4 coats of mystic on this car not counting primer and clear.
mirrors and window switch plates were painted to match in a Saleen type influence
