didnt know what i bought - GOT PICS UP NOW.
my neighbor has had this gt fox forlong asi can remember and its been under a tree for most that time. i finally asked him about it and he sold the car to me for $500. i figured wat the hell... i got 3 others and this is a STRAIGHT body... parts are worth more than that. car has been painted dark gray and the inside is light gray and black. 5 speed, x pipe, flowmasters no tailpipes, lx tail lights,stalker hood, & saleen wing. he handed me the title and i didnt really pay any attention to it and went and got my truck and pulled it down to my house.the jackass converted it to carb but whatever. i cleaned it out, put a battery in it and fired it up. smokes, but runs, apparently has had a cam change at some point cause it chops a little. (he said it was parked b/c is wouldnt crank... LOL! dirty carbs never work out very good) anyhow i got inside the houseand looked at the title to see what it actually was (year model and such) i looked across the top and it says 1992 mustang gt/COBRA. i had to do a double take. aint this some $hit! but i thought cobra foxes were only made in 93. on the door is says 10/92, does that mean its a 1993 year model? i didnt have any idea it could have been a cobra b/c EVERY BIT of the ground effects have beenchanged to a regular GT except the wing is a saleen type. it has mustang gt on the side skirts with the vents in front the wheels and the gt rear bumper, the front bumper is also a regular gt... what you guys think? i know this car is NOT a canadian cobra either b/c this guy bought it brand new and we live in South Georgia. car has 132Kmiles on it

RE: didnt know what i bought
10/92 would be a 1993 man anything with a production date of 8 or higher is the following year. so yes a 10/92 is a 1993 release.
you just might have a production cobra, BUT it would not say mustang gt on the skirts or rear bumber and the front clip would look diffrent
post me some pics if you can , and also you can call your local ford dealer and give them the vin# and they will tell you exactly what it is, just call and ask for the parts department

RE: didnt know what i bought
I have a '92 GT and mine also says Cobra on the tittle, don't know why but I'm positive its not a Cobra it just says it on the tittle.
$500 is not a bad deal at all, thats a steal, you've just commited robbery.
