Yep but there is no telling what all he has done to it.

94/95 5.0 cobras had "mustang" written on the bumper
99 did as well
96-98 said "cobra" as well as 01 and 03/04.
were the taillights amber at the bottom or all red [see above pics to know what i mean]? you posted a pic of a base v6 that is the same body style as the 99 cobra posted so im not sure why u said the red one looked older? did you notice a hood scoop or not? no wing could be custom ordered from the factory i know of a couple 03s that were because the wing is stupid looking

only the 99 and 01 (the 00R may have but Im not sure) had the taillights amber at the bottom the rest even the 03 and 04 had red ones.

yeah these tail lights were all red. i saw the car again and my guess is it's just a bolt-on gt.

thats why i was asking because if it had amber it wouldve been more likely to be a cobra (most ppl wouldnt switch those out) if it was an 03/04 and converted to a "mustang" bumper similar from the new edge style...well thatd be just stupid.

well u never know why someone does something, maybe he has a 01 cobra crate motor dropped in; at one point they were very cheap when a company got ahold of the motors supposed to go in the 00 cobras that were never made they were a hot item.

They did make a 00 and even a 02 Cobra but they were all shipped to Australia.

I thought the '00 was the only one actually made in Australia, not '02. I know the '00's were made there for sure, I was on a tour in the niche line at the Romeo Engine plant when they were assembling the motors for the Aussie Cobra's in May '00 at the SVT Experience.

'00 they cancelled the run due to needing "the fix" on the '99's, and '02 they had no run due to re-tooling for the debut of the "Terminator" '03 Cobra.

Anyway, back on topic, this car if it is a Cobra will have a few telltales. Brakes will say COBRA on the fronts and rears will be VENTED. The '99 Cobra was the first year the spoiler was an option, the car could be ordered without one (so could a GT) It will say "MUSTANG" in the rear bumper if it's a '99. The hood would look just like the '04 V-6 hood, the scoop indentation is reversed. The front bumper cover is unique to the '99 and '01 Cobra and is IMHO the meanest looking bumper for those cars...Also on the interior look for COBRA on the steering wheel and for

'99 the color options were Electric Green, Ebony Black, Rio Red, and Ultra White. Not sure about '01, I know Ultra White and Black, not sure what shade of red they used, they had like 3 different ones in '02.

Bottom line, if you look at the car, if it's a New Edge Cobra, it will have a V for the 8th digit of the VIN (that's the engine code). That's the tell-all between a real and fake cobra.

yea but only a handful vs the thousands that are usually made. there were quite a few motors with no cars to put them in.

[AltecZX2]

if i remember right wasnt the 02 cobra just a 01 left over?

[krebeccaa]

why do you care so much if the kids cars fake.. get a life

[mustangman02232]

yes i would be willing to bet its just a GT, and you can get a spoiler delete, i have seen a few of them, if its not a 99 cobra (which says mustang on the back bumper) then it could be a 01, or maybe hes not a ricer and was tring to down grade and keep people thinking it was a GT, ya never know, but unless its a terminator you will take him anyways
