DARKSIDER In the world of automotive hobbyists a Darksider is one who modifies and or customizes any and all sorts of vehicles. The Darksiders are in a class of their own simply because they endeavor to be different and do things that others would not attempt for a number of reasons mostly being related to a lack of ability and fear of non conformity.

This is a forum for people who think outside the box in everything they do. It doesn’t matter if you are modifying or building from scratch. It doesn’t matter what brand or brands of vehicles or components you are using. It doesn’t matter if you are working on a mini car or a bus.

    Just got it yesterday. Butt load of work on the engine more than I know right now. But I found otu an odd thing. If a mustang gt is built in Canada it is titled as a cobra. No joke found out from the vin and a carfax. I thought it was a joke but google it. It has none of the performance stuff but, built as a Cobra none the less.

    Hi Don,

    I didn't know that about the Mustang. Did the one you got come from Canada?

    Later Man...

    My son had an '89 GT and it had the ground effects. As matter of fact I think all the GT's had it here.

    88 Mustang Gt Empty GT vs LX

    The mid 80s Mustangs - GTs had the ground effects and the LXs did not. The Cobras had Cobra specific ground effects.

    88 Mustang Gt Empty Mexican Mustangs

    Post  Boilermaker Fri Jul 22, 2011 3:10 pm

    Mustangs sold in Mexico (1979 to 1986) had the Mustang front bumper/hood with the Capri fenders (front & rear) and the Capri hatch. There is no difference in the doors. It makes for a very interesting car. I would like to see this car with the 1979 Pace Car front bumper and the 1985 bubble back hatch.
