![]() I know of the i believe '79 to '81 Cobras and what i know is alot came with these options: 15.3 inch "TRX" wheels and the "TRX handling package", alot came with turbo 2.3L engines, i don't know about the 255 windsor that came and went in the early 80's but maybe those made an appearance in those vehicles. I know that they had the big Cobra decal on the hood that had traditional early 80's colors (lots of yellow, orange, tan, black, etc.)
You can look at Amazon.com and look for books about mustangs, i have a mustang "collectors and buyers guide" for all year mustangs and gives a quick description about them and those should give you an idea about what they had and what they looked like. You could also look for a book about mustang cobras although they may not cover a whole lot about those year mustangs. They had a "king cobra" through the mustang II line of mustangs and continued until i believe the GT came back in '82. I believe those turbo 4 cylinders had like 140 horsepower and alot i think came with a 4 speed manual. This is all i know off the top of my head, but i hope you can find some good info about your vehicle, which i must say i think is a very unique and cool vehicle (sort of like the Ford Fairmont Turbo....but i won't get into that ![]() Happy hunting,
