Hi everyone,

i've been looking for a fox mustang and i found a guy with a cool 87 one. But he told me that his mustang was a cobra one.... an 87 cobra?!? i thought they started these cars in 93... is it possible that im wrong....

he told me that it is an original 87 mustang cobra.... no swap.....

he ask 6500... slightly nego.... the 3 gear is stuck ( i guess over 1000$ in repair then... )

thanks

 

In the U.S. they made a Cobra in 79,80 and then '93....however in Canada they were labeled "Cobra" but were just GT's with a decal and 180km speedo. I owned an '85 Cobra that I bought from the original owner some years back. It is really nothing special really...likely just a Canadian GT. It is a conversation piece though if you live in the U.S.

 

$6500 for an '87 with 3 gear stuck?

yeah right..

 

come on arin, it could be worth $6500!




If there is $6000 cash in the trunk.

 

well i guess he's asking too much thanks a lot

 

sounds high on price if its bone stock with problems...

 

Are you in canada? Cause thats high even for here.

 

It's also a conversation piece to the educated few in Canada.

 

My 88' is listed as Cobra GT on the factory invoice. (Canadian)

 

Yes, this is only on Canadian cars....and the ONLY difference from a US GT is the decal and speedometer. I have never heard the "official" reasoning behind this but that's the way they did it.

 

I heard from a friend's friend's dad's uncle that the Cobra GTs were waaaaayyy faster then just a GT.

 

Wasn't it so Ford wouldn't lose the "Cobra" copywright?

 

I've heard that but not from any official source....but think about it, they didn't use the Mach 1 name for much longer so I'm not sure how much truth there is in that idea....??

 

I don't know, maybe that shelby guy was chomping to get his famous car name back?

 

Does anyone have a pic of one? I've always heard about them and would be curious to see the "decal".

 

Just go here....they are all pictured:
