The 1981 Mustang saw mainly refinements to its options list as well as an over 20% increase in price across the board. The turbochared four-cylinder was dropped, a five-speed manual overdrive gear box was offered, a Tracktion-Lok rear axle was new as well as a T-roof, reclining bucket seats, and power windows. As in 1980, the two main option packages included the Ghia and Cobra. This was the last year for the Cobra option package priced in 1981 at $1588 and came with 190/65R-390 TRX tires, forged metric aluminum wheels, a 8000rpm tachometer, two tone paint, Cobra tape treatment, hood scoop, sport exhaust, dual black sport mirrors, black bumper guards, dual accent stripe body side moldings, and black moldings around the windows. A Cobra package taping delete option existed to save $65 but the special, large Cobra hood decal was an additional $95 option. Two tone paint options continued but most required a black lower color except for Medium Pewter over Light Pewter, Red over White, and White over Bittersweet.
