I currently own a weak 2.3L 89 LX. I've done some body mods to my likeing and now I want...no scratch that...NEED MORE POWER! I was hangin with my buddy and I found a weather beaten (what looks like) mustang GT in some guys back alley. Upon closer look it donned some Cobra emblems and sported factory cobra rims. I became excited quickly, I think I may have found the parts car I need to make my LX a monster. But obviously I couldn't get a chance to pop the hood and see if it's a real Cobra or just a GT with some Cobra mods. My question for you guys is what else can I look at on this car to find out if it truly is a real Cobra? Much help would be appreatiated. Thanks!

 

Hey, i have a 1988 GT, 5spd, only 53k, new tires, new headlights, foglights, tailights, plugs, wires, windshield. Clean interior. very nice. PM me for mor info if you are interested. thanks.

 

From a visual standpoint one of the best ways to identify, at least for me, a 1993 Cobra is the 4-lug disc brakes in the rear.

 

Only 53K?

 

If you get to look at the VIN, look at the seventh letter/numeral...for ex. it might run- 1FACP42"X"....if the "X" is an S, it was originally a 4 cylinder, an E means a GT 5.0, and a D is the code for both the Cobra R and Cobra. Good luck finding a 5liter, they're fun cars!

 

yeah, only 53k. I need to sell fast, i need a commuter car.

 

Thanks for the help guys.
