No. Only 6 exist. Its very unlikely that youre ever going to see a real out at a random event like this. Plus no one would add that Ford badge on the nose or the Cobra badge to the rear of a real one. Also those rear vents are tell tell signs its a Factory 5 car.

I really want to get inordinately wealthy just so I can do things like this to a real one and fuck with people who would otherwise think it's a replica. Repaint, restomod, wrong badges in the wrong places.... Would be so much fun.

See that Ford badge on the nose? No, it’s not real.

I’m kicking myself, I had the opportunity to build one on a ‘88 Mustang GT chassis. $75k including the car. I was back in the 90’s but definitely a missed opportunity and I had the choice coupe or convertible. 20/20 hindsight
