I am thinking about buying the Mistichrome 40th anniversery Cobra, and wanted some background info. Is it the normal Cobra with a steller paint job, or is there more to it? I am almost definatly buying it, no doubt, I saw one the other day and made up my mind, but id there any new performance to it?

 

mystic paint, mystic seats, mystic steering wheel. they only made 1000 of them. post pics if you get it!

 

and mystic colored engine

 

I don't know anything about this car. In fact, I don't think I'd even heard anything like it before I joined this site. Why did Ford do this? Any significance, or did it just look cool? What year was it, maybe it was when the new technicolor paint was still new?? I dunno, guessing.
