I saw this


http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/3991556329.html

And the title cought my attention..

But the total lack of anything adding up was even better..

I know Canada called the gt's cobras.. But nothing else adds up.. Looks stock as can be.. No way it's a 16k car... Right?

ha.. they flagged the ad and removed it. I see more and more of these asshats trying to rip people off with these Mustang "Cobras". There are more "Cobras" floating around on CL than actually Ford produced..

Here 's another scammer. love the "Cobra" with the stock 5.0 intake, stock front bumper cover, stock 5.0 badges, 4 lug aftermarket Cobra rims. The damn rear bumper cover says MUSTANG GT. The idiot can't even get his price right in the ad and lists two different prices.

It wasn't even a gt.. It was missing the ac pump and he was saying it was where the super charger goes.. Said it ran 9.6 and had a stock top in.. Lol

Said it was an extremely rare find cuz it's from Canada...

what was the VIN? That will tell the truth. If it starts off 1FACP42... E (stock Mustang motor) instead of D ( Cobra motor) he's full of it. The model type should be P42 . Also the year needs to be a P for 1993. All they did in Canada was throw the word "Cobra" some stickers on a GT. If there were any performance mods, it would be reflected in the VIN.

If it was a REAL COBRA the VIN would look like this
