Do I have a special cobra?

RHiggy · 09-21-2002

I have a 1993 Mustang Cobra with a paint code of ES. I understand that ford did not produce a 93 cobra in Vibrant Red (ES) There are rumors around that Ford produced only 9 of these(for testing purposes) and only one was ever sold. Is it possible that my mustang is the "one"? Is there any truth to this rumor? Please let me know if you have any information on this. By the way, my mustang still looks like a new one. Thanks a lot, Ralph Higginbotham

If what you say is true... and the Ford sticker on the door sill says the Exterior Paint Color is ES... you may be the lucky winner!

What is your build #? Chances are that if it's after #9, it doesn't fall into that category. My paint code is ES as well, and I have an earlier model in the production run. With that said, I have heard so many conflicting stories regarding our 93's that I can't keep up with them. Try calling the guys at SVT, they're usually helpful.

Hey snake handler, what is the number to the svt guys, I have problem with the wheels on my 96 cobra. When I purchased my cobra (off the show room floor) I didnt notice the wheels were 95. I need to get some questions answered. The wheels still have the original production date stickers inside of the covers. The car has 94, 95, and 96 production date codes in various locations. May have a factory screw up car.. Thanks Daryl

Hi Yellowhorse, I do believe it's 1-800-FORD-SVT.

According to ford there is NOT a factory paint with the ES paint code.
