A little more info: Sorry for using so much space, lots to tell.
This car last belonged to a vintage Mustang restoration shop owner who held on to it as an incomplete project for a long time prior to my purchase. The car has a low mileage completely original 93 Cobra drivetrain. At his shop the car was converted to Capri quarters and fenders as a result of a dent on the rear quarter. I purchased the car in boxes after he lost interest and finished the project to how you currently see it in approximately June of last year. I spent countless hours searching for NOS replacement and good used original parts. Everything on the car is original Ford if it was available. It has been driven just over 7000 miles to shows and for cruising only. The car has not failed to win an award at every show it was entered, has been shot for two magazine articles (FFW Tire Tracks April 08, Modified Mustangs to come) and is a head turner everywhere it goes. The drive train is a (rare early intake) 93 Cobra and has less than 25k miles. While the car did sit for a long time it was well maintained and does not hesitate to start instantly, does not smoke and performs like a brand new motor and drivetrain. This car would be a great candidate for a power adder such as a supercharger or Turbo as the motor is very strong and still very low mileage. I preferred the original look but you could dress the engine up and really knock them dead at the shows. Louvers show in the pics are not included.

This car appears new in every respect. The engine bay is very clean and has a bone stock appearance- everything is original to the 93 Cobra except for the Alternator. The car has never been abused, raced or driven in rain except for one time when I was caught on the way home from a show. The undercarriage is very clean. It resides in a garage under a cover most of the time. The car drives straight and is very smooth, I have (accidentally) had it well over 100 mph on the highways and it tracks smoothly and just keeps on pulling. Title is in hand, clear and does not show salvage or rebuildable. You could fly in and drive it home and not think twice about it.
