Default Is this a 1997 Cobra factory wheel?

I'm looking at a 1997 Mustang for sale, which is only advertised as a 4.6 Liter Mustang GT, but when I look at the Carfax report it says the car is a Cobra. The car is dark green and has these wheels on it, does it sound like it could be a cobra?? The few photos are too fuzzy to tell if the emblem on the side is a cobra, but it could be.

Get the vin. Do a search for vin breakdowns and that will tell you what it is

I did check out the VIN, and the carfax report, but when I googled the VIN it came up as a whole different car that was for sale - I don't know if this seller is trying to pull a scam or what, so I'm just going to blow that one off.

I can't copy the photos from the original listing, but here's is a link to it:

Weird it might be a scam. Does not look like a cobra front for that year. And the seller does not list it as a cobra. The vin from the add you posted does come back as a cobra vin. Very interesting
