Default Do I have a GT or Cobra????

The "GT" I recently picked up is confusing me. The Title says it is a Cobra, but it looks like a GT to me. It already had aftermarket rims on it, so not sure about that, but it says 5.0 on the side, no cobra, the rear bumper reads GT.

I ran it under carfax to see what it says, and it is telling me

1993 FORD MUSTANG GT/COBRA GT Body Style: HATCHBACK 2 DR Engine Type: 5.0L V8 SFI
So what exactly do I have? Is there a way for me to look in the engine or something to figure out what I got? The color is Blue on top with the grey vallance on the bottom.

Not 100% sure, but it sounds like you may have a "Cobra GT." Which is the same as a GT. It's the Canadian version of the Mustang GT, but they called it the Cobra GT for some reason.

Sounds like you got yourself a Canadian GT. They were titled as GT/Cobra, I forget which exact years though. But it is exactly the same as your normal GT.

Bah...you'r a quick one samseed[8D]

It is a GT, on my insurance it says gt/cobra like your carfax. Carfax all of our cars and i bet they will say the same thing. The color is wrong for a cobra anyway

Ford did that to keep the Cobra name alive, so they wouldn't lose copyright on it. That's all.
