Great video and info! Also don't forget that the 93 Cobra had a unique coolant pipe that ran along the lower intake on the pass side. It was different from the GT/LX in that it did not have another outlet for the coolant to go thtough the EGR spacer since there was none. The rear hose nipple at the rear of the intake on GT/LXs was plugged off as well.
I own a black ‘93 Cobra and was aware of some of the unique items Mark mentioned but had no idea about the intake or snake! Very cool info. Thx for sharing. And my first Fox body (well with a V8) was an ‘87 T-Top LX hatch. Should have never sold it!
Yep ikr very interesting.. an they didn't put the snake on the 93 cobra fenders until the cars made it to dealership cause poeple stole snake emblems off the fenders while the cars were on car carriers in route to dealerships..
I owned a '93 GT, and was into Mustangs at the time. I remember coveting these Cobras, but there was no way I could afford one as I could barely afford my 'regular' GT. I lived in L.A. at the time and went to Universal Studios Citywalk and I parked right next to a Cobra R. It looked almost like the Cobra but its rear-seat delete and the 'R' wheels were a giveaway, and this was a time when these were new and I am fairly certain no one was making clone parts for them, not to mention being L.A. I am sure someone plucked down the extra cash to have one of the 110 or so they built, for exclusivity. The bastard...
@@Twobarpsi Thinking back, not 'great' but if I knew then what I know now, I would definitely have snapped photos (this was a time when film cost money and developing the film cost money, so one used their camera sparingly, lol). It was interesting seeing a car that was mentioned in Muscle Mustang and Fast Fords magazine (when they were printed on paper) as well as 5.0 magazine, and others as a Cobra that was a step up from the Cobra. A mere one and a half years later came the '95 Cobra R which used a unique engine. I never did see one of those ...
If you are who I THINK you are, you DEFINITELY had a ton to do with the Mustang/Foxbody education for a bunch of us who started playing with Mustangs back in the 80s. Started reading MMFF when it was a segment in another car mag lol 😝
I HAVE THE SAME CAR AND AND I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE SNAKES.LOL HE FORGOT IN THE INTERIOR THE FLOOR MATTS ARE THE ONLY THING THAT LET YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A COBRA.
My boss had 2 teal 93 Cobras back when they were new. Both got stolen and stripped. One day he went to get his personal items out of the last one that got stolen when they found it. 2 rows over was his other car they didn't know was his.
That's crazy,thats something Ive never experienced (having a car stolen, broken into many times but not stolen), i have been using a club in all my cars since the early 90s, they seem to work and i have lived in some rough places but like they say "if someone wants something bad enough they will get it"
one of my buddies in high school had a red 83 Mclaren convertible Capri, its one of the coolest fox bodies ever made, it also had the laid back windshield pillars painted the same color as the body. his had the optional body kit and saddle leather interior with the matching saddle color Mercedes Benz style soft top with painted to match red mesh wheels wich were originally gold. in the late 80s early 90's it was one of the baddest fox bodies around the Detroit area. his dad got it for him his senior year in high school so he wouldnt have to drive his dads 69 gt500 shelby to school anymore.
In those days the most requested high school car was the Mustang hands down, if you were a Senior and you had a GT you were definitely cool, Mclarens were different to say the least, i think the only thing i didn't like about them was that plastic rear window, i like glass on mine but if you were young and had a Vert it was always down,lol, the armrests were very unique to the car.
I like all your videos Evan but this type is my favorite. Feels like just hanging out with your buddies at the show and reminiscing and sharing some info! I don’t know what you have on your schedule, but if you’re able to come to the Ford Carlisle show this year I’d love to get a chance to meet you guys! (June 3-5th)
Thank you, unfortunately I won't make Carlisle this year. i haven't been in a few years and want to get back. I'll be at NMRA in Norwalk, which isn' too far.
There was a guy in the early 90’s when I was growing up that had an ASC McLaren Mustang convertible that was silver and black, I think? I don’t remember everything about it, because I was so young, but he kept it in his front yard always cleaned up. 🤣 I bet that thing is worth some money now.
I didn't hear it mentioned, but the vaccum tree on the firewall was used on 4 eye cars as well as 87-93 4 cylinder cars. The rear brake rotors and calipers are 87-88 Turbo coupe parts, I'm not sure if the axles are standard Mustang or TC parts, they maybe TC causing them to stick out further and required the special offset wheels which is why the front rotors are different than the GT's.
93 Cobra axles were the same length as the Turbo coupe an also 94-98 Mustangs(just length wise on the Mustangs,not stud count of course). .75" longer per side roughly.
CONSIDERING HOW LONG I HAVE HAD MY FOXBODY 93 COBRA LOL I LOVE IT WHEN I LEARN SOMETHING NEW ABOUT MY CARS IN MY COLLECTION ESPECIALLY MY VIBRANT RED 93 COBRA.
MAN I HAVE 9 MUSTANGS AND I THINK I KINDA KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MOST FOXBODYS BUT I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE SNAKES BEING A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM 94.I WAS SURPRISED THAT WHEN HE SPOKE ABOUT THE INTERIOR HE DIDN'T MENTION THE FLOOR MATTS BEING THE ONLY COBRA SPECIFIC PART IN THE INTERIOR.
I worked at a big ford dealership in apple valley Minnesota. There was an acid rain issue so we kept five mustang cobra's and four Taurus sho's in our storage building pending warranty. Drove the hell out of both. 93 mustang Cobra still my all time favorite.
I had a '86 Capri 5.0 (it had no 'RS' marking, but apparently all 5.0 Capris were considered 'RS') and used to see a few of the convertible ones around the L.A. area when I lived there. Funny enough, I think my regular Capri was rarer than the ASCs, and those were rare, at lease in the the L.A. area. I bought it in the fall of '89 from the Ford dealer in Simi Valley, and since I was looking for a Capri for quite a while and could never find them, I started looking at the '85 or '86 Mustangs. I was so excited to see it advertised in the paper, that when I bought it I did not realize it had air-conditioning delete. I lived in the San Fernando Valley and it got hot in the summer. The fall is nice weather so never bothered to try it out. I regretted some of the triple digit summer days, but still loved that car.
I sold my 93 Teal Cobra to the founders of the MCA back in 03. A judgment rules book was generated with it as the base. 3k miles . Original oil , air filters battery and tires. Still gave all of the sales information.
What an amazing 8 second Mustang. Beautiful wheels up launches in that crazy fast stock eliminator Cobra Jet Mustang. REVan. Nobody covers Ford drag cars like you. Looking forward to continued videos. I should ask if you know Mike Murillo who runs a big tire fox body in the No prep series along with other classes. If you do I was wondering if you're aware of his health issue. Again. A big thanks for your great Ford coverage
Thanks Evan, for head hunting Mark. Mass Production cars modified by the factory are the shizness.Long time Fox guy here. The first planned Carbed Supercharged Saleen's get me most. I don't forget my Paxton or Rootes.
Mark, that's NOT a Euro Coupe. Euros were de-contened ASC/McLarens lacking the McLaren-designed suspension which made the car MUCH more than the "just appearance package" you're saying. That car is a full ASC/McLaren Coupe, one of just 150 built in 1985. Eliminating a lot of great components let ASC drop the price about $1000--far less than the cost of said components so it wasn't a value. There were 47 EuroCoupes built for 1986, their only year of production. The full Coupes came with factory 650lb constant-rate front lowering springs, 400lb constant rate rear lowering springs, adjustable Carrera 50/50 shocks and struts, and a host of other performance suspension enhancements. Euros WERE just an appearance package. The key visual cue is the full stripe kit on this Coupe vs. Euros just getting an orange stripe down the middle of the bodyside molding.
Your correct! I learned that right after we shot the video as the owner of the car came up after and educated me. I’m not an ASC Expert but do love them and will own one one day. Appreciate the correction And for setting the record straight.
Gotta say, the only one I didn't know was the snake scale differences. Learn something new every day. I have also heard that the leather non-cruise steering wheel is different than that in a non-cruise optioned GT or 5.0 LX, and that the rear end housing is slightly different to accommodate the disc brake hard lines. I cannot confirm either one.
@@dntlss The best I can figure is that the Cobra intake is different, bulkier, and the vacuum supply hose for the tree comes out of it at a different angle and would be in a bind if the standard tree was used.
Those ASC McLauren Capri quarter windows are specific to them, the standard Capri had the same recessed window as the Mustang with its own sail panels as that one but with ribbed recesses not the smoothed ones as the ASC
They were not quarter windows. They were plastic covers over the stock window glass. The three pieces on the sail panels are the same plastic, glued on.
@@thunderkiss1965 thats only the 3rd one ive ever seen and none have been in person to really see what was there to be different than a regular capri, just can see a visual difference from pics and videos. Thanks for letting me know what the differences is
They have all the engine upgrades with the same restrictive exhaust so full exhaust systems with headers could easily see 40-50 rwhp on these cars which is alot more than you'd get on a normal 5.0 back then.
@@philipmacduffie7612 that isn't true at all on these 93 cobras there is easily 40-50 hp to be had from a full header back free flowing exhaust. They do about 220-225 stock with a full exhaust they can do 265+ pretty easily. This isn't modern cars where some parts like exhaust may not pick up much power on a stock car that Def isn't the case. You can gain more than you're saying even on a normal 5.0 fox back then and the cobra had upgraded heads, intake, larger tbody and maf as well as underdrive pullies with the same restrictive exhaust so there was even more to gain from a full free flowing exhaust on a cobra.
I HAVE A VIBRANT RED 93 COBRA AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT THE 92 COBRA CONVERTABLE LOL ALSO I WISH FORD DIDN'T SELL THE PARTS TOO CLONE A 93 COBRA AND IF THEY DIDN'T OFFER THE PART'S MY 93 COBRA EVEN BE MORE VALUABLE.
I have a 91 and a 89, i pretty much have been driving my 91 just about daily for decades,as you know they had cheese grater tailights,these days with all the morons texting and driving i have already been hit once and i worry because the graters are not just getting expensive but they are hard to see if your not driving your car like you should and are texting instead so i have decided to slap some either LX or Cobra tailights on my GT so the dingbats will maybe see the turning signals on,i was really disapointed to find out that the current DC repro Cobra tailights use vinyl strips instead of the actual painted lines on them,what a bummer!
@@revanevan That would be awesome. There just is very little on the 93-95 5.0 cobras and cobra r's. All we got is motorweek quarter mile times... and I swear they had God rest his soul... gator arm Pat Goss driving! Lol.
@JL Actually the better comment is WHY didn’t the 93 Cobra have cruise control? It was considered the top of the line Mustang is 93 but is missing an obvious option that was available on all other series. Anyone?

Always loved those Cobras they were special for sure. Ford was on the right track with the cobra engine. It's to bad development stopped there, it would have been nice if they continued to advance the 5.0L engine with the gt40 stuff like the aluminum heads and eventually a aluminum block. Kinda like what G.M. did with the L.S. My 5.0L lx was ordered As a stripper and stickered for $10,200 In 1987.
Ford definitely missed out on engineering a really great flowing small block head. Gm’s decision to expand on the sbc with the vortec head changed oval track stock car racing forever.
@@fsca72 yah it was like they went the wrong direction with the 4.6L. It was so disappointing at the time. But then again it led to the awesome 5.0L Coyote.
MY VIBRANT RED 93 COBRA IS UNDEFEATED LOL IT HAS WON EVERY SHOW ITS BEEN IN LOL INCLUDING BEST PAINT AND THE BEST COBRA IN SHOW AT FUN FORD WEEKEND AND THERE HAD TO BE 100 COBRAS AT THAT SHOW INCLUDING TERMINATORS AND 94 TOO 98 COBRAS LOL SO IT WASN'T LIKE MY 93 COBRA BEAT A COUPLE CAR'S LOL IT SPANKED EVERYONE.
@@henchicken1 I REMEMBER IT LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY WHEN MY BUDDY BOUGHT A NEW 93 COBRA I WAS 21 YEARS OLD AND I REMEMBER SAYING TOO HIM WHEN I SAW THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME I SAID SOMEDAY IN THE FUTURE THIS CAR WILL BE VALUABLE AND I WAS VERY CORRECT ALSO I WANTED ONE REALLY BAD FOR YEARS AND BACK IN 2005 I BOUGHT MINE WITH 19 THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES AND TODAY I HAVE JUST ABOUT 20 THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES AND THE CAR IS ALL ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR EXHAUST AND I GET OFFERS TOO BUY IT FROM ME BUT I WILL NEVER SELL IT.
This is why I own a fobra these days with so many obsolete parts for a real one, that and i can't leave a fox body stock let alone keep a wrapper car. Im still kind of shocked no one re-popped the Oem cobra body kit, cervinis is nice but made way different then asc did it. Think he confused svo's with turbo coupes. 5 lug vs 4 only thing different on the cobra where the taller hat front rotors.
@@MRCONTROLPR 84 SVO's had black trim and stripes, 85-86 SVO's had charcoal grey. Just the same as the regular 83-84 Mustang's had black trim and 85-86's had charcoal grey.
LOL MY 93 COBRA HAS A TWIN LOL I LOVE ALL 10 OF MY MUSTANGS INCLUDING 2 SUPERSNAKES A TERMINATOR AND GT500 A SHELBY GT AND OTHERS BUT MY FAVORITE OF ALL MY CARS IS PROBABLY MY VIBRANT RED 93 COBRA.

Where if anywhere can I get oem shocks and struts for. a 93 cobra?
Always loved those Cobras they were special for sure. Ford was on the right track with the cobra engine. It's to bad development stopped there, it would have been nice if they continued to advance the 5.0L engine with the gt40 stuff like the aluminum heads and eventually a aluminum block. Kinda like what G.M. did with the L.S.
My 5.0L lx was ordered As a stripper and stickered for $10,200 In 1987.
Ford definitely missed out on engineering a really great flowing small block head. Gm’s decision to expand on the sbc with the vortec head changed oval track stock car racing forever.
@@fsca72 yah it was like they went the wrong direction with the 4.6L. It was so disappointing at the time. But then again it led to the awesome 5.0L Coyote.
MY VIBRANT RED 93 COBRA IS UNDEFEATED LOL IT HAS WON EVERY SHOW ITS BEEN IN LOL INCLUDING BEST PAINT AND THE BEST COBRA IN SHOW AT FUN FORD WEEKEND AND THERE HAD TO BE 100 COBRAS AT THAT SHOW INCLUDING TERMINATORS AND 94 TOO 98 COBRAS LOL SO IT WASN'T LIKE MY 93 COBRA BEAT A COUPLE CAR'S LOL IT SPANKED EVERYONE.
Praise the lord!
@@henchicken1 I REMEMBER IT LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY WHEN MY BUDDY BOUGHT A NEW 93 COBRA I WAS 21 YEARS OLD AND I REMEMBER SAYING TOO HIM WHEN I SAW THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME I SAID SOMEDAY IN THE FUTURE THIS CAR WILL BE VALUABLE AND I WAS VERY CORRECT ALSO I WANTED ONE REALLY BAD FOR YEARS AND BACK IN 2005 I BOUGHT MINE WITH 19 THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES AND TODAY I HAVE JUST ABOUT 20 THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES AND THE CAR IS ALL ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR EXHAUST AND I GET OFFERS TOO BUY IT FROM ME BUT I WILL NEVER SELL IT.
That Cobra is 3 Serial numbers from mine if the licence plate represents the build number.
This is why I own a fobra these days with so many obsolete parts for a real one, that and i can't leave a fox body stock let alone keep a wrapper car. Im still kind of shocked no one re-popped the Oem cobra body kit, cervinis is nice but made way different then asc did it. Think he confused svo's with turbo coupes. 5 lug vs 4 only thing different on the cobra where the taller hat front rotors.
Vibrant Red is the period correct name of the color. Performance Red came along in 2000 model year and virtually the same color.
What about the tail lights? They’re unique.
Quite true.
The tailights are parts bin 85/86 SVO taillights.
@@Mustangdan351 svo are black 93 cobras are gray
@@MRCONTROLPR 84 SVO's had black trim and stripes, 85-86 SVO's had charcoal grey. Just the same as the regular 83-84 Mustang's had black trim and 85-86's had charcoal grey.
LOL MY 93 COBRA HAS A TWIN LOL I LOVE ALL 10 OF MY MUSTANGS INCLUDING 2 SUPERSNAKES A TERMINATOR AND GT500 A SHELBY GT AND OTHERS BUT MY FAVORITE OF ALL MY CARS IS PROBABLY MY VIBRANT RED 93 COBRA.
What is the Stripper LX?
maybe mark wilson can answer the age old question of if the convertible cobra is real
He didnt say anything about the taillights? Those taillights are different on a stock gt. Almost the same as what i had on my 86gt svo taillights
I realized after we stopped filming that I forgot the tail lights. I left off a few other parts as well so I guess we’ll do another one.
Did you go over your car and check these unique differences?
Actually, there is one Cobra specific difference in the interior...the front floor mats.
Flip the seatbelt buckle around, it needs to be facing Inwards
I knew a Guy who had 93 Cobra R. It was Brand New and he used to Drag Race the Dog 💩 out of it !!! I used to Scream at him.
"What are you doing !!!"
I would have said what are you doing too that car belongs on a track not a drag strip lol
@@midnight347 Dude it was "Brand Window Sticker New !!!"
You ain't mention the steering wheel bud, you supposed to be the EXPERT? Steering wheel is cobra only, leather wrapped, without cruise buttons.
The 93 cobra was the last model before svt started with ford....
Thank god, it doesnt have that crappy Sunroof or T top. I hate that stuff.
Do you there a saac mustang the rarest fox mustang an there is one more out there was like a thousand made seen it on UA-cam
Saac mustang was made 92-93 only super rare made be single digits was made for members only
Nobody noticed how they bulldozed to to that mclaren
It’s really too bad they really perfected the look of the fox body in the final year of production.
👍 !…….
Holy bat shit Batman, All them Fords in such a damn big hurry to get to GM Performance to get a LS crate motor!
