ha...ha... Sorry, well there are a lot of people around here that try say my car is not a cobra. So I try to know when everything was changed so I make them look like an a@@ when they say my car isn't a cobra.
I just hate that comment "Look at the V-6 trying to be a big boy"

Hood same as GT except its fiberglass instead of steel. Read bumper says mustang like the V-6's. Plus I got carpet not leather (1 of 66) white 95 cobras with tan cloth.

the 96-98 also had the really ugly 4.6 emblems. I just makes me feel really bad for them. I mean who wants a 4.6 2V.
