This car used to be a factory 83 GT 5.0 5 speed with a red exterior/black stripe and red interior. I converted it to a 93 Cobra with only 57,000 miles on it. The only way to tell the year is to look at the original dash, everything else has been changed. The gas door was shaved then cut out to sport a Sparco circle fuel cap. There are billet accessories such as the inner door handle bezels, window switch plates, hood hinges, radiator cover and header panel cover.  The cowl panel is custom made also.

The go fast parts include a 347 stuffed with J&E 10.5:1 pistons, Eagle connecting rods, Lunati crank, Motorsport push rods, Motorsport F-303 cam, GT-40 X-305 ported and polished aluminum heads, 1.7 Crane Cams roller rockers and roller lifters, Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap intake, Holley 750 double pumper carb, Custom throttle plate, BBK polished underdrive pulleys, BeCool aluminum radiator, Melling high volume oil pump, Milodon 7 quart race oil pan, BBK long tube headers and BBK off-road x-pipe, Flowmasters, 2.5 inch exhaust, Tremec 3550 TKO transmission, Steeda TRI-AX shifter, Motorsport Aluminum drive shaft, McLeod scatterproof bellhousing, Centerforce billet flywheel with a McLeod clutch, MSD 6AL ignition box with a MSD pro-billet distributor, MSD super distributor coil, Taylor 9mm race plug wires, Vello Performance custom electric cooling fan, Flamming River manual rack and pinion steering, 3.73 Richmond gears, trick flow rear end stud reinforcement housing, Southside Machine upper and lower control/lift bars, Steeda tubular sub-frame connectors, BBK panhard bar, Eibach Sportline lowering spings, and the front brakes where upgraded to install larger rotors and calipers.

There are Konig Appeals 17" wheels with 245/45/ZR 17 tires in front and 255/40ZR17 in the rear. The tail lights are Ford Racing carbon fiber altezza and clear corners in the front. The hood is a 4" Cervini cowl.

It only has a few electrical goodies such as; keyless entry with alarm, custom switch panel to turn on all of the accessories, autometer guages (speedo, tach, shift light, volt, oil, fuel level, fuel pressure, and cylinder head temp,and water).  Powermaster 140 amp alternator, Powermaster high torque starter, and a Summit Racing battery relocation kit for the trunk with an Optima battery.
