Default 1987 GT...Cobra?

Just bought a 1987 GT 'Cobra', all original, less than 60K miles on it, only driven by an older guy since new.



I've Googled to try to find out on my own, but I can't seem to pull up anywhere what difference the 'Cobra' designation makes to this car, can anyone tell me? The engine is a H.O., I thought they didn't go into regular Mustangs till 1988, is that it?

Thanks!

Ahh, well that explains it. The car (and I) are both indeed in Canada (I converted mileage to miles for the benefit of the mostly American readers here).

So this car is just a GT, then? All GT's were called Cobra's in Canada?

Thanks for the quick response, btw.

Okay, knowing now what it means, I was able to Google for more info...it's indeed the same car as a U.S. GT.
