yes the canadian stangs are titled cobras so yeah you can have a 87 cobra gt , it just doesn't have cobra options like the 93 just in ink only .

If its a "GT Cobra", you've got nothing to worry about, it just means it's a GT mustang built in Canada as opposed to the U.S.,specs wise, its the exact same as a U.S. GT with minor exceptions such as Km/h for speedo instead of Miles per Hour mines a GT Cobra, and from what i;ve seen its a bit more rare.

I had to argue with some guy on a you tube video about this. He said since he is a certified tech and has owned like 8 mustangs he knows everything about it.

This is the latest he sent me,
Yo what are you talkin about bro.. I have the F*ckin Title to the car right here and if you want the Vin # to check it your self, just ask... But i know what im talkin about.. Its my 8th F*ckin mustang that i have had since i was 14yo and its not the only 89 cobra/gt that ive seen.. PLUS I have been a licensed mechanic for 2 years now, and i went to the UTI auto school for 4years so who are you to say your right!.......Go looking on the internet, its all there....................................... 89 Anniversary Edition Mustang.....

Here is his "89 Cobra" lol
