Default how do you know it's a cobra?

I tried doing a search on this and didn't find what I was looking for so...

Looking at this1993 mustang cobra as a possible purchase and want to know how I can definitively tell it's a cobra. Yeah it's got the cobra badging, the cobra spoiler, cobra wheels and cobra lettering on the engine, but all that stuff can easily be added on to make it look like the real thing. What else should I be looking for? Thanks! Here is the link for those who are interested:

Default Looks like a cobra to me

cruise control delete is a great sign to find a copy quick!
