Left For 28 Years, 1993 Mustang Cobra Gets Fully Detailed
Read the full story on The Auto Wire
The Fox Body, like this 1993 Mustang Cobra, is one of those pony car generations people either love or loathe. Depending on how you feel about the third generation Ford, you might think this particular one left in a shipping container for almost three decades should either be lovingly preserved or the owner contacted a very capable professional car detailer, realizing the classic car needed serious help to regain its shine. After all, the snake became a hotel for rodents.
The current owner inherited the Ford from his brother who tragically passed away. After the Mustang blew its transmission long ago, the guy parked it in a shipping container until he could get back around to it, and there is sat. The family wanted to clean it up as a tribute to their loved one.
Thankfully, they turned to AMMO NYC, which has expertise in dealing with neglected rides like this one. After giving it a good wash, removing all the debris buildup, the paint appeared chalky. A good polishing job brings the shine back out.
While the paint needed a lot of help, the interior not only had rodents' nests and droppings, mold had taken hold. This is an unfortunate risk of leaving a car sitting for years on end. Running a dehumidifier in the cabin periodically can help with prevention.
If you plan on storing a car for a while for whatever reason, we suggest adding stabilizing fluids and following any manufacturer recommendations for lubrication. Check inside and around the vehicle periodically, looking for signs of animal infestations. Leaving rodent traps around is also a good idea.
Check out the video to see the results – they're amazing.
