History of the Mustang Cobra

[JAYMONEY]

I know alot of the people on this site know the history of the Mustang. But I'll bet some younger Cobra owners think the Mustang Cobra was introduced in 1993. So here is a little history lesson of the Mustang Cobra.
Anybody know what the first Mustang Cobra looked like..............Here it is!!

I remember that too. A couple months ago, while I was channel surfing, I came across an old episode of Charlies Angels. I only watched a couple of minutes :rollseyes , but when I saw that Cobra I started to chuckle. It was just funny to see that thing in a "high speed" chase. :lol:

Also, don't blame Carrol Shelby for changing the "Cobra" name to the GT-500. Ford has been waiting to do this for years. After Shelby left Ford, in 1970, Ford made an attempt, in 1984, to bring the GT-350 name back. When they did, Shelby sued Ford because he had the rights to the "GT-350" and "GT-500" names. Shelby probably sued to take revenge on Ford for screwing him out of the "Cobra" name.

My buddy had one of those gt 350's back in the day. We had a lot of fun racing around with the top down. My 86 gt hardtop could smoke him though! Gotta love the red interior...

Im sure almost everyone on here knows those cars, and don't want to be reminded that they were the first cobras.......

My neighbours had a 84 GT-350 T-top, ratbagged it until it worthless, it's shame though they are kind of collectable...

Now you should PO the Mach 1 owners and bring up the '75 mach 1 with the 2.8L V6 :thumbsup:

The sad thing is, some people actually think the first Cobra was the '93. I know the majority of the people know about the 1st Cobras, but I thought I'd give a history lesson for those who don't. I guess I'm just bored. :bored:

The SVT Cobras started in 1993. There have been many "Cobras" in the past though...

I'm with you on this one! I'm happy that they found a way to keep the Stang alive during the 70's, but as an Auto enthusiast, when I see a Mustang II, I run in the opposite direction.

I'm sure it might seem arrogant, but I taste bile when I imagine those headlights (like so many other things from the 70's), maybe it's a conditioned response :-D ?
