Mustang Cobra GT

TransAm86 · 11-26-2002, 02:33 PM

This came to me when reading the "clones or replicas" post. Like many of you here, I live in Canada. I have seen many GTs here with a Cobra decal, and many "GT Cobras" for sale in the local trader. Now I know what an SVT Cobra is, running 13s stock. But my question is:

What is a Canadian Mustang Cobra GT??? Is it only a sticker? Does it have more options? engine, interior, disk brakes? On the exterior, it's a GT!!!

There was a limited edition car like you described sold only in Canada. I'm not sure what the vin would show, but I know of people up there with that car. It did exist, basically just a GT with a cobra badge.

If it's just a badge, why would the insurance company would've asked me; Is it a Cobra? the lady told me it should be obvious!

Anyhow.

No, it is not a Cobra.

Canadian Ford Dealer's used a sticker package on standard GT's. A "Canadian Cobra" is identical (engine, powertrain, suspension) to a GT.

It was a marketing program used only in Canada. The first true SVT Cobra was built in 1993.
