You tease lets get a full shot of that thing already
It's still tucked in the shop so tough to get a good full shot of it. I should have it finished up tonight... then wash it up tomorrow... and it will be on display at C&H Saturday so I'll have a ton of pics then.
So, here are some pics from 2 weekends ago when the Mystic Cobra was "debuted" at a local car meet, then another car show later that day. Never got a chance to do the calipers so please excuse my 2-minute photoshop job
I barely clipped one b/c I didn't go on an angle, but otherwise, all good. The car will see maybe 1000 miles a year... likely less... and is driven to very deliberate locations... so it's not really an issue.
Looks great JB!
Was that a factory color? I don't know a ton on the 4G/SN95 Mustangs.
Yes. Mystic is the name of that color and it was on the 1996 Cobra's only. They made 1999 of them (of which only an estimated 1400 to 1500 or so are still on the road). This one is #305 and is certified by Ford as a Mystic as well as by SVT separately as a Cobra
^ New they carried a premium b/c it was a limited production paint, plus it was a Cobra. They also carry a bit of a premium in the resale market... especially b/c the paint is super expensive now.
I remember the first time I saw a Mystic Cobra. It was in 1996. I was in Florida driving down the highway with a friend headed toward Miami. That Cobra came pass, and when I saw it change from green to purple with a tinge of gold my jaw hit the floor board! The Cobra was already a cool car but that paint job was (and still is) very special, especially from a major manufacturer, especially at that time.
I've always wondered though, do you have to live with all the paint imperfections over time (rock chips and the like)? I can't imagine touch up or even paint matching on that thing. I guess that leads to my next question. You got a clear wrap on that beauty?

They do make a Mystic touch-up but you can only touch up certain areas. Example... bumper is easier than the hood b/c of the way the light reflects off of each surface (way more noticeable on the hood). That said mine is a driver. 117k miles and it does have rock chips. Sadly no paint protection and at this point it does not make sense. I am considering repainting the front bumper but not sure if it's worth it...
The only other immediate car with the color-shift type paint, OEM, that I can think of is the TVR Tuscan Speed6.
The 2004 Cobra also has a similar paint... that one is called MystiChrome and it more or a bluish-purple-green shift (no blue in mine) which uses a ChromaFlair pigment. Only available in 2004 and they only made like a thousand of those... so they're even harder to find than the 1996 Mystic
