Ebay: 1993 Cobra #19, First Off The Assembly Line

August 7th, 2007 by CobraMatt

The 1993 Cobra is just a thing of beauty for me, being that it was the first Cobra of my generation and one of my favorite Mustangs of all time.  Now as I have said from time to time I am always on Ebay and I occasionally look to see what 1993 Cobras they have on the hope of one day buying one.  Todays browsing netted quite possibly the holy grail of 1993 SVT Cobra Mustangs, car #19 which has been claimed to be the first production Cobra to roll off the assembly line.

The first 1993 Cobra that was put into circulation was car #19 because most if not all of the previous cars before this one were destroyed due to various crash testing.  According to a few books I have including the SVT Recognition guide which is the most informative on this subject says this actual car was the first production 1993 Cobra to roll off the assembly line.  The VIN# is 1FACP42D8PF129858, verifying the car is #19, the first car off the line on December 17, 1992.

The condition of the car is another story as the owner (svokid) has decided to let the car go and from the pictures their is some rust on the floor boards and under the hood.  The seats and dash look horrible, the cars been repainted, engine parts have been replaced along with the transmission.  Basically this car needs to be restored to it’s former glory.

This looks to be an amazing find for some lucky Mustang enthusiast who has the cash.  The one and only bid as of writing this is $8K but I expect it to go much higher as word gets around the Mustang community.  The auction is open for another 3days and 22 hours.  For the Ebay auction click here. I have attached some photos below.
