I was looking at a 2004 comp orange MACH 1 that is on ebay and was surprised to see the front PBR brakes had the cobra lettering on them.I know that the MACH's have the same brake set up cobra's have had since 1994. But I did not think ford would put cobra calipers on the MACH's. I thought they had the same ones as the bullits, with the running horse. Is this normal or is there something fishy with the brakes on that car?

They don't. I'm sure the mach guys would have a heart attack.

I have friends with 03-04's and they are plain calipers.

Maybe that mach had some bad front end damage and they replaced the calipers with cobra calipers by mistake. Thanks, not that I was gonna buy it, but if I was could of been a big mistake.

We actually do have the cobra/bullitt brakes, we just dont' have the cobra name on ours. Sometimes they goof up at the Ford plant and put one cobra caliper on one side....or a GT C-pillar panel on as well. Give it up for monday morning/late friday goof ups!

I have seen a couple people who have mismatched calipers and some say Cobra on them. I've also seen mismatched c pillars as well. I think my turn signal bulbs are left over from a Pinto.:shrug:

And your point is? :shrug: :mj:

Mach 1's all have plain calipers. Some have been messed up from the factory and had some Cobra parts get installed on them. I've seen a Cobra steering wheel, a Cobra brake caliper, and Cobra seats, not all on the same car of course.
