Default 1998 Ford Mustang Cobra Signature Series.

I just purchased a 1998 Ford Mustang Cobra Signature Series and am
looking for information on it. The dealership told me it was one of
500. Is there a number somewhere on the car that states this? Also I
am looking for specs on HP and the engine/trans.

Thanks for your help,
TC

I have a 98 Cobra also. I don't recall anything about a "signature
series".

There were 5174 coupes made and 3480 convertibles. The most common
model was the black coupe with black leather (1344).

The engine is a 4.6 litre 305HP

I have a 98 Cobra Drop Top
My build number is 1600

I have a plate on my engine with the two sigs on it, but have never heard of
a "Signature Series"

It COULD be that, ok, read slowly he
The color
Interior,
Vert or not, anything else special about the car MAY make it uniquely one of
500 built that same way out of the total build for the 98 Cobra model.

If you find any more info, of course we would all like to hear about it.

Then again, it might be that they guy had no clue what he was talking about
and thought that because it has this plaque
http://www.kizthiz.com/Specs_1.html it is something special...??

Of course they ARE special but that's a whole nother story.

It's possibly a local/regional dealer series or some aftermarket tuner
thing.
Something like this perhaps:

Look for some plaques or badges....Badges? We ain't got no badges. We
don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges!

....but I digress.
