Why it matters
Ford made the removable fiberglass hardtop an option on the 1995 Cobra convertible. Only 499 convertibles got it before the option was dropped, so it is the rarest 1995 Cobra body variant outside the Cobra R.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.
Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.
02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Factory package production1995 Cobra hardtop convertibles | 4991,2 | Factory production | Factory reported |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
The hardtop had been planned as an option for 1994 but was only ready for production in 1995. Ford built 1,003 Cobra convertibles that year, of which 499 had the hardtop. These cars have small provisions for the top's retaining mechanisms and for dome and map light wiring. Fitting the top took two people, so it was a hard sell, and the option ended after 499.
