Real 03 Cobra or No???

['96&'01Stang]

Its a fake

 

[PDubs]

Fake because:
* Driver's air bag should say "COBRA" on it
* Gauges should be white
* Seats should be a combo of smooth and suede leather
* Should have an intercooler
* Cobra also has round foglights. Tought to tell from that picture if they are there or not.

The giveaway:
The door mirrors are not painted. On all 03s, the mirrors are painted and you can move them.

i guess we can rule out that it's not a Cobra R then either huh?

its in disguise

more than meets the eye

If you look at the interior pic. the cars paint is green. They gave you a pick of the bullit in the back round of the first pic. The cobra is black.
Just my .02

It is definitely a fake as the '03 Cobra interior is NOT available in Parchment. That is a GT interior.

 

[edcar01gt]

oh btw they only give you this much of the VIN 1FAFP42X23F

P42 IS THE MODEL NUMBER FOR THE GT'S..

No...I saw the pics of that bullit and the interior is a bullit interior (gaugues shifter bullit seats ....maybe the car was a green gt and painted black with cobra stuff added

It's fake but its a nice car.

Definitly a fake.....1. it has the GT mirrors....and 2. the side skirts are the biggest giveaway......those are GT side skirts.

That's the interior of a GT...just like mine. And I can't remember, but aren't the 03' Cobras supposed to have a Cobra emblem up front? The car in the picture has a pony. Here is the link for the pic of my GT interior just for comparison.

FYI, 03+ Cobras do not have the amber back up lights.

Ford's policy of reducing the production costs I guess...

BTW, 03 Cobras do not have a snake emblem up front. Most guys put one though.

Don't be fooled guys, this is not one of the 299 1993 Cobra R either

The Bullit appears to be missing the Bullit "C" Pillar.....

 

[bullitt_5135]

The car in question is definitely NOT a Cobra.

The Bullit in the backround is a little tougher. Based on the "C" Pillar (mentioned above) they are not correct if it really is a Bullitt. There have been plenty of cases where "regular" Mustang parts were mistakenly put on a Bullitt. I almost bought one with a mismatched "C" Pillar until I noticed it was wrong.

The paint color is exclusive to the Bullitt so if it ISN'T a Bullitt they repainted the whole damn car.

Could go either way....either a fake that has been repainted a different color entirely or a REAL Bullitt with at least one wrong "C" Pillar.

 

[~B7~]

Fake! As everyone has said...interior. Plus it's most likely a 5spd not a 6.

 

[NewbStang]

what is the C pillar?

 

[Avenger]

what is the C pillar?

The plastic part linking the quarter panel to the roof. Located between the rear and quarter panel windows.
