IS THE CAR STOCK .....IF IT IS A REAL COBRA WILL HAVE MANY DIFFERENCES BESIDES PAINT WHICH COULD EASILY BE CHANGED

TAKE OFF A FRONT WHEEL AND MEASURE FROM THE FLAT SPOT ON THE ROTOR TO THE FLAT SPOT ON THE MOUNTING SURFACE FOR THE WHEEL (IT IS 3/4 INCH DIFFERENCE FROM GT TO COBRA)

THE REAR END WILL BE DISK BRAKE WITH A VERY SMALL VIBRATION DAMPER

THE REAR SPRINGS WILL HAVE THE YELLOW TAG (COBRA AND 4 CYL IS THE SAME )

THE FRONT SWAY BAR IS BIGGER THAN A 4 CYL BUT SMALLER DIAMETER FROM A GT (I CAN MEASURE MINE IF YOU WANT)

THE ENGINE WILL HAVE 24 POUND INJECTORS UNDER DRIVE PULLEYS AND 95 STYLE VALVE COVERS FROM THE FACTORY

SHOULD HAVE FACTORY ALUMINUM DRIVE SHAFT

DOES IT HAVE FACTORY 93 COBRA WHEELS THE FACTORY 93 COBRA WHEELS WILL NOT FIT ON THE FRONT WITHOUT SPACERS UNLESS IT IS A REAL COBRA ....OR HAS AFTERMARKET SUSPENSION AND BRAKES
