Questions about 94-95 Cobras.

[M3xpress]

Did these cars ever come with cloth seats? Did the cars use the same hood as the Mustangs/GTs and then they received the new hood design in '96?

I'm pretty sure it's Yes to all 3 of your questions

 

[crash549]

yup.

 

[Turbo96]

correct. i love my 96-98 hood though. the stock GT hood is nothing to brag about.

^^Yeah I like the 96+ hood as well.

I was looking at a nice '94 Cobra and the cloth seats/hood threw me.

With so many people interested in making their Mustangs "Cobras" and me not being as familiar with these older cars, I wanted to find out some info.

If I run across these 94-95s, are there any other identifiers that can be seen that can't be changed that will let me know it's a Cobra since they seem to have similar options to other Mustangs in those years?

Obvious is the engine, no 3rd brake light on trunk lid and the "crab claw" spoiler.

Also look at the VIN number. 8th digit/letter of the VIN should be: D

Then there is the "COBRA" on the steering wheel, COBRA sticker on the brake booster etc..

+1. the rear trunk lid is the easiest to see at a glance. there should be no provision for a 3rd brake light on the trunk and it should have the led brake light in the spoiler. heres a closeup for you.

This car has a nice 347 in it, so it's been tweeked a little, that's why I wanted to note other things.

The Vin letter is a great one, and I've never even noticed the trunk lid before.

The car does have the brake light on the spoiler, and I'll have to see it/ask about the Vin letter.

You can change all the parts to make it look like a cobra but you can't change the vin without major legal problems. here's a thread on how to identify if it's a Cobra, Gt or v6.
