[QUOTE="Vigilante, post: 6994078, member: 55757"] What kind of original documentation/svt "binder" do you have or that you know came with the car? What kind of Special/Unique plaques and such came on the car? How can you spot the differences between a GT and Cobra? Here ya go, Looking at Glance, Differences include: Most Noticeable are Unique Front Fascia, Unique Hood(1996-1998), "COBRA" on the Rear Valance(1996-1998), and Cobra Specific Wheels(94, 95 Chrome plated; 96, 97 Machined face; 98 Cobra R). They also have 13in brakes that fill the rims, compared to the smaller brakes on the GT. The VIN has a Cobra Specific Number, see below, DOHC Engine with Engine Plaque, Snake Side Emblems, SVT Badge on the Rear and COBRA on the steering wheel. The Cobra also got White Sport Gauges and close to all Cobras were fully optioned. Although most people think it came stock, the Snake in the front grill was an aftermarket item. All Cobras from 1994-2004 came with the Running Horse as original equipment. This is what a sample Certificate of Authenticity and Letter of Thanks looks like($40) and how to get it: [url="http://www.muscularmustangs.com/2005/svtcobracert.php"]SVT Cobra Certificate of Authenticity[/url] This is for everyone looking to get there SVT build number: [url]http://www.svt.ford.com/contactUs.asp[/url] What your VIN means: All Years: 1FA=Ford Motor Company, USA, Passenger Car L=Driver/Passenger Air Bags Next three digits are dependant upon year: 1994-1995: P42=Cobra Coupe P45=Cobra Conv. 1996-1998: P47=Cobra Coupe P46=Cobra Conv.
