whats the vin number?

Also does the steering wheel say COBRA on it?

Does the rear bumper say Cobra?

Along with the GT wheels and front bumper it's missing a strut tower brace... i really think thats a 4v swapped GT.

That's what I thought as soon as I saw the pics. Who would put GT body parts on a Cobra?

They discontinued the strut tower braces for the cobra in 1998, car could of been in an accident and they found gt/v6 bumpers in the scrap yard.

Since it has regular GT body parts on it, I'd take off the cobra emblems and make it look like a regular "slow GT", a real sleeper...

I guess he can be glad it's not a GT with Cobra bumpers and badges on it.I've been told that's a no-no but we'll make an exception for you Keith.It has something to do with 440 to the wheels.
