    
1980 Mustang with Cobra package which included an aerodynamic front and rear end. This package option was so significant that its original option cost was $1482, with the Cobra hood graphics costing an additional $88. The Cobra package was patterned off the 1979 pace car model and came with dual sport mirrors, sport tuned exhaust with bright tailpipe extensions, forged metric aluminum wheels, special instrument cluster, 8000 rpm tachometer, and a turbocharged 255ci, 4.2 liter, V8 engine. This car has optional rear quarter window louvers which cover the lower window "Cobra" lettered decal.

A time capsule, this Bright Carmel 1980 Mustang coupe has just over 2000 miles on it. Options on this car include a white vinyl carriage roof that was factory made to look like a convertible with its top up and wire wheel covers. Mustang had not offered a convertible since 1973, so this carriage roof option was offered. It has the base level 140ci, 2.3L, 2-bbl, 4-cylinder engine.
