Looks clear as day to me. You can even see one of two little bumps on the front of it's trim.

ok. Didn't blow it up.
Did you try to run an oasis report or whatever Ford is using for a platform and see what options the vin he has came on the car? This guy should get this sorted out, otherwise it pretty much ruins a legit Cobra or it will highlight a faked Cobra.
Cody, not sure you remember me. I painted the hood on your white SN95 back in the day. If the car is local and you want, I can take a look at it. Won't take but just a few to see if the car has had any work done.
Yea I remember you, it's Luke right. And no the car isn't local and I am already past on it. But I appreciate the offer.
Sounds like some shady shit's been done here. No telling whether the car asperformance was trying to sell back in 2008 was even the correct chassis either since he was obviously a scammer. I bet it wasn't just because he talked about painting it prior to sale.
At this point the only way to figure anything out is to get the Deluxe Marti Report on the VIN given and see what options it actually came with (i.e. sunroof or not), then go over that car with a fine tooth comb looking for VIN swaps, chassis damage, etc.

Any decent bodyman would pick a repaired car a part in about 3 mins.
A friend I knows mom was looking to buy a repaired LS1 TA years ago that had been wrecked. The car was repaired by one of the employees of a well respected body shop in the area and to most people the car looked damn clean. The seller was honest and told us what all had sustained damage and been repaired.
We then test drove the car over to another friend of mine who has been doing body/paint for years to ask him what he thought of the repairs. Unfortunately we didn't get there until dusk but in very low light he was able to walk around the car and tell us every panel that had been worked on with out us mentioning anything the seller had said about the repairs.
yea I remember you Luke, and no I the car is not local. I just decided to pass on it with everything being in question. I appreciate your willingness to check it out for me though.
Pretty sure that was Aarons car. He was known (back then at least) to rebuild titles and such on 93 Cobras, especially Teals. Also went by user name Cobra Man of UT iirc. Also had a little something to do with the 93 Mystichrome as well iirc.
Ahh yes that guy. Hated GT-R’s and Supras with the passion. Nice collection of Cobras that he had though
the guy that owns the cobra now told me the old owners name was Aaron and that he told him about this an Aaron laughed and said that car has never been wrecked.
Well I'm not going to get dragged into internet drama, but Aaron knows 93 Cobras probably about better than anyone. I just watched him do a shell up restoration on one. Plus he built the mystichrome one, a white one, and like 40-50 others he has had over the years. I got nothing on the line, but I would believe Aaron. All this goes back to LL somewhere grabbing pics of a wrecked cobra and saying they are the same vin. Mistakes happen.
Kevin, we get it, you are friends with Aaron and are standing up for him. I know this since you relayed some of his messages in this thread - http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?623513-Anyone-want-to-guess-how-high-it-will-go
where he admits that he tried to sell a wrecked teal car 2 years ago on SVTP
and the OP said the guy he was talking to bought the car from a guy named Aaron. Besides that you don't have to dig too far to find people that are saying he's a scammer.
Bottom line, it's probably the same car and if not something fishy as hell is going on and the OP was right to pass on it.

Just to help clear up something that apparently a lot of us were confused on, the original thread from "asperformance" said the car he was selling with VIN 1FACP42D0PF184384 did NOT have a sunroof, and neither does the one this thread's OP is asking about.
The confusion stems from a PM that LL likely got from "asperformance" and others that sounded like that VIN was associated with 2 different cars, one with a sunroof, and one without. The fact that the original seller "asperformance" is well known for cutting and pasting cars back together does sound suspicious.
I PM'd Larry to see if he could respond and help clear up any other misunderstandings and assumptions regarding the original seller and that VIN.

I owned a few of his 93s including the Mystic. I wouldn't be surprised if it was rebuilt but if the price is right and that is disclosed then no biggie.

Looks like the reflection from the street lamp to me
That does look much more like a reflection rather than a "tab".
If that is a sunroof it is the world's most perfectly installed foxbody sunroof.
I have a factory sunroof and it is about as obvious as the windshield trim.

I agree, it doesn't really look like a sunroof. What should be the glass appears to be body colored, so I doubt LL's supplied pics prove anything.
