I guess keeping cost down was there goal like no tilt or cruise control.

I believe the 93 came w/o tilt due to safety constraints that dealt with the airbag. If it had tilt and an airbag then the rationale was the bag could be redirected and not provide adequate safety in an accident.

Driving the Cobra
All 93's came without tilt due to the airbag. CC was indeed a cost savings measure, although the official reason was "CC shouldn't be on a performance car"...

Funny you should mention that... they must have dropped my motor too, because it has the next vin digit up from mine same as my tranny.. so who has the car after mine or before mine? you got my drivetrain! either that or someone screwed up putting the vin's on the car.

1993 Cobra Differences

Hey, I've got a 93 Cobra, black with black interior. It's 100% original paint and it has a gold pony on the front and a gold "Ford" emblem on the back hatch.

Were these "Gold" emblems a factory option or was this done at the dealership? I'm the third owner....a Doctor ordered it new.

The cobra badges on the side are silver.

I've never seen cobra with these gold emblems.

Thanks for your help.

I ran an auto-check on the Vin number given in earlier post on the cars with the non clearcoat paint it showed up being in Charleston, WV and no activity since 03 and 2 owners

Where is the vin stamped on the block?
