HELP....lady with a 93 GT Convertible needs info

Tisha1711 · March 19th, 2007, 10:09 PM

I have a 1993 Mustang GT 5.0 convertible, 5 spd with 47,000 original miles. I am in the process of restoring. Carfax indicates as GT cobra. I have been informed that the GT Cobra convertible does not exist, but the car is all stock and according to the body shop there has never been any modifications. Here's the tricky part.........it has GT front, GT side skirts, Cobra rear, Cobra wing, Cobra rear tail lights...so what the f@#* is it!! Is it worth restoring it back to a GT if it is only a GT? And what is the value of that car? Any help you all could pass my way would be greatly appreciated! Not a candian car though....manufactured in US.

if the vin says cobra.. its a cobra.

Tisha1711 · March 19th, 2007, 10:19 PM

Carfax says its a Cobra, but everyone has been telling me that there is no such thing as a 93 gt cobra convertible...I am so confused!!!

zero · March 19th, 2007, 10:23 PM

look up the vin another way other than carfax. i dont see a reason to make a cobra a convertible, but people have done some stupid things.. and also.. people can be wrong. ive never heard of a cobra convertible.. but who knows. call a ford dealer and ask. give them the vin and say what the hell do i have?

Don't know if this helps, but adds to the mystery as only hatch backs are shown for 93 Cobras

does it have rear disc brakes?.

83 5.0 · March 19th, 2007, 10:26 PM

Weren't the intakes different also, GT to Cobra?

zero · March 19th, 2007, 10:30 PM

you can always change stuff. its more than 14 years old. who knows what owner did what. check the damn vin

I know before 93 all GT's came back as GT Cobra's. It may be the same thing.

But yeah, the intakes are different, the injectors should be different too.

Tisha1711 · March 19th, 2007, 10:44 PM

Thanks for the help so far. So, maybe it is a modified GT...now, is it worth putting back to its original and what would the value of it be?

P.S. 302 engine/340 horsepower. Is that 5.0 or Cobra?

zero · March 19th, 2007, 10:46 PM

haha umm.. neither. its been modified if its putting out that much power. id venture to say its a gt done up cobra style.

Tisha1711 · March 19th, 2007, 10:46 PM

It has drum brakes in the rear...

zero · March 19th, 2007, 10:47 PM

cobras only had disc brakes. i win. your convertable is a wannabe

That would be some nice mods to get 340 horsepower. the stock 93 cobra might have had 240, the GT 215-225 i believe. somebody correct me if i am wrong.

Tisha1711 · March 19th, 2007, 10:48 PM

Thanks for the info zero...now I can go home and cry! Any idea what it's worth?

zero · March 19th, 2007, 10:53 PM

if its in perfect condition, no more than 6k. cobras go for around 9 if theyre in any kind of good condition. i bought mine for 2k. and it wasnt in such great shape at all.

On Mustang and Ford Trader stock GT convertibles priced out at $21,900 with 49,000 miles

zero · March 19th, 2007, 10:58 PM

excuse me?!

you must mean the ford gt. not a mustang gt. theres no way a 93 mustang gt is worth 20k. the ford gt is a 5.4L two seater overpriced rocket that i would love to have. it always came with 4 wheel disc brakes. the mustang gt is a 5.0L has a quasi backseat and drum brakes in the back.

Tisha1711 · March 19th, 2007, 11:02 PM

Let me check the ad again...in the meantime, is there any website you can go on that can give you the value other than like Kelly Blue Book where you can type in more specs.?
