for the same reason a 1973 Z28 would have been restored in 1990.. 17 years is a long time..

Every single 1993 Cobra I know of is a blown or turbo drag car or has been street raced to death.

That is interesting because the guys at my buddies shop were talking about the special paint...and the difference in the paint in the engine compartment?? Something to do with the clearcoat?? or lack of..I cannot remember exactly. I will stop by later today and find out more on the car. And take some more pics also.

ok, so stopped by my buddies today, but could not take any pics...he had car in booth with paint primer/sealer on it getting ready to start painting the color. He was skitzing about dust when I entered the booth, so I did not stay long. He was very adamant though that this car is getting single-stage paint...non-clearcoat..and that that is how it came from the factory...

so???
could be car number 8 based on original paint?? But,the build date of car #19 and the date on the front spoiler seem to match perfect though...??? What was the build date of car 8??? If prior to the date on the front spoiler, than I would say this is definitely not that car.

are you sure you have the paint correct for car 8 and 19??? Maybe You typed them reversed??

I will take more pics in the next few days...

No, I've got the paint right, to the best of my knowledge. Single stage cars are rare as hen's teeth. Not sure of the exact number, but pick a number less than 20 and you're in the ballpark.

#8 was built on 10-08-92.

Can't you just ask the owner which number it is?

I have met the owner, but it was last year when the car first arived at my buddy's shop. When it was still wrecked. But I have not seen him around my buddy's shop this year at all. I suspect he will be showing up soon as the car should be done painted real soon. The problem is that I am rarely at my Buddy's shop so the chance of me running into him is slim. I will try to find out more as soon as I can.

I don't think he's met the owner yet.
