I would like to know how mustang owners feel when owners clone there GT's to 93 Cobra's? Now keep in mind there are GT owners who clone there cars and smartly say there car is not a Cobra, but there are the people who say "yeah, it's a cobra , but when you look at the year of the car, it's a 86!" Just wondering some comments.
Cobra Clones
- Thread starter 1993 Mustang
- Start date
I don't mind someone doing the ground effects/wing, etc, but when they put the snake badges on, it starts getting on my nerves. That's just me, though...
Yep, and a simple check of the VIN is all it takes...
i think they are just jealous of the few,the proud, us cobra owners
only time it bothers me is when they claim it to be real.
But some of them are real cobras, I happen to have a 1988.

Maybe the title of the thread should be "SVT Cobra Clones"...

If Ford calls it a Cobra, I believe then it's a Cobra.

Good question.
I will say that most people will not consider the 'decal packaged' cobras that were produced in the mid to late 70's and the ones exported to Canada as real cobras.
My opinion is on the reasoning behind that is, none of the above mentioned cobras came with performance enhancements over the GT (or other V-8 models of that year) nor were they produced by a specific group within Ford and sold with certificate of Authenticity
oh and one more thing. The 'GT' in your above posted window sticker is what throws the real cobra out.
WOW $26,940, for a wanna be cobra, talk about a screw job gezzzz. I agree with Lee on this one, I dont consider that a real cobra atleast not an offical SVT Cobra. The late model I believe the 1978 or so Mustang King Cobra or Cobra II as they were also know as was a Ford produced Cobra, but not as we all know the Cobra to be
$26.000 CDN funds for a convertable.
I haven't once said SVT, by your logic the past two generations of Cobras simply don't exist. (74-78 as well as the 79-81 US Cobras, and further the CDN Cobras of 86-92)
If these aren't Cobras then why did Ford drop the name Cobra from Canadian cars in 1993?
The answer is because the SVT developed Mustang took the name to the Speciality Performance level it holds today.
I'm sure there are many vintage Cobra II owners who will attest that their cars are indeed "real" Cobras.

i was saying the cobra II were real cobra, but not as popular as the 1993 SVT Cobras
If its real from Ford thats one thing, but if its fake please don't put snakes on the side.
Guys - the Canadian version of the GT were called "Cobra GT". Ford did this to keep the copyright/trademark "Cobra", as they were about to lose it.
It is not, however, an "SVT Cobra"...

I agree with that
