No it means they are an idiot. There is no such thing as a "cobra" interior for a fox.

Hell, for that matter I really love it when people say they have a "cobra" shortblock! The only difference is the cam. Wow, that really makes a shortblock.


There are really very few cobra specific parts. Most were raided from other cars to make the 93 cobra.

Do you own a Torch Red FRC and tremble every time you drive under I75 on Hwy 60 and look in your rearview mirror? If so you are suffering from what is known as Cobraphobia.

There is such thing as a Cobra interior. Are you suggesting they came with a barren interior?

Interestingly I have seen the same statement in quite a few classified ads. I think they just put "Cobra interior" to justify a higher price to people who don't know any better. Black Cobra interior was really no different from that of the GT.

How so? All 93 short blocks were the same, except for the cam. 92 and older are better than 93's because of forged pistons, if that is what you mean, I agree.

I meant the cam in a cobra engine isnt even as great as a normal H.O. cam.


93blocks are hyper pistons even worse with the cobra cam.


87-90 had the hottest Cam I believe

91-92 were identical

www.stangparts.com is the only "junkyard" I would think has black interior and they aren't cheap. I seriously doubt you'd find black interior at a local U-wrench-It.

My suggestion is to buy the black dash, door panels, seats, and other high wear areas. Dye the remainder of your interior black using a high quality dye. You may actually be better off finding a local interior shop to recover your seats, depending on how much genuine black seats cost.

We spent way too much money purchasing genuine black interior parts for my old '87. If I did it over again, I would have dyed the parts that do not get much wear.
