Some Canadian models had a Dealer installed Cobra Decal on the Rear Spoiler, I had an 86 GT with this sticker. Otherwise nothing different as far as I could tell.

There is a website someone has put together explaining the different models, I just can't remember it's link.

Canadian Mustangs are Cobras. I had a 91 "Cobra". I don't know why they do it but that is the way they do it.

Either someone purchased the stickers and put them on or you have a Canadian model. Is the Speedo in Miles or Kilometres? If kilometres is larger on the speedo then it's Canadian. Mine was a Cobra GT but again nothing special. Found the link but the website seems down at the moment.

Not true... There was a cobra 4 turbo in 1979. It may not have been a V8 but it was a cobra nonetheless.

True dat and if you want to get technical they made a Cobra II and a King Cobra in the 74-78 era.
