Hatchback

The 1980 Mustang Cobra package included an aerodynamic front and rear end. This package option was so significant that its 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.
