YOU GOTTA SEE THIS
MUSTANG COBRA
While we’re turning the clock back to
1981 this issue, we thought you might enjoy
a look at the top Mustang in the lineup, the
Cobra. Wearing jazzed-up styling and TRX
wheels, the Cobra offered a bit of visual
spice but not much real muscle. The biggest
engine was the 255 V-8. If you ever drove
one, well, ’nuff said. The landscape would
change the next year with the arrival of the
“Boss is Back” GT, but ’81 would go down as
a continuation of the low-performance ’70s.
