Re: how rare is my car

keep the cobra as prestine and stock as you can... dog out the gt... the cobra may get you some good money in the future if you decide to auction it off as a classic car

Re: how rare is my car

pulled of a mustang page

"Only one V8 was available and it only powered out 119 horsepower on a good day. It had 4.2 liters and 255 cubic inches on a small block. This V8 had two distinctions in 1980, it was the smallest V8 ever and it was the worst. The lack of horsepower may be a reason for slow sales of the V8. "

Also your GT must have had the 302 HO motor replaced with that 289, cause the only mottor they came with in 82 was a 302. and dont say "im gonna put nitrous on it and run it down the track." you sound like a ricer. :

Those are SVT Cobra's, they're completly different then 1980 Cobra's. They're pretty rare but just remember it's only worth what someone is willing to pay. The only way you're gonna get any money out of it is if you find someone that considers 1980 Cobra's "classics", and there aren't too many people that do.

Re: how rare is my car

keep it stock restore it and in twenty years you might get lucky but in my opinion most 80's cars were peices.... but later on they started coming up so who knows keep it in the family
