Editor's Choice
With eight events on the '06 NMRA schedule, it's difficult for Mustang Monthly editors to attend every Laurel Mountain All-Ford Auto Show as part of our show sponsorship. We're grateful to photographer Paul Rosner for assisting with our Editor's Choice picks. He picked a good one during the NMRA Ford Nationals at Atco-the '93 Cobra owned by Paul Filipowski from Marlton, New Jersey.
Paul's occupation as an auto detailer shows on his stock and mostly original Cobra, one of 4,993 built, not including the 107 R-models for competition use. Other than a Kenny Brown Performance strut-tower brace added to stiffen the front end, the Vibrant Red Cobra is a shining example of how these special-performance Mustangs were delivered from the factory. The concours-like condition hasn't prevented Paul from a bit of fun on the dragstrip; With its 235hp 5.0-liter engine, the Cobra has run a best of 14.2 seconds at 98.7 mph in the quarter-mile.
