See the additions and changes to the decode above. I also decoded the VIN and door tag. Lower tu-tone was always black from 1979 through 1984.

Normally you would be able to tell the tu-tone paint color from the second 'Exterior Paint Colors' code on the door tag, but Ford did not put the lower tu-tone paint code on the door tag in 1979. Ford used that second spot for vinyl roof type/color (which was repeated in the VR column). Starting in 1980 Ford indicated tu-tone paint color in the Exterior Paint Colors location and for lower tu-tone the second paint code was 1C (1980-1984), XP (1985), or 71 (1986).

It sounds like it's an exact twin to David's Cobra. Mine was also 2P Red with the Black lower treatment but my interior is Black instead of the Red like yours and David's.

I viewed the Marti reports that 79mustangcobra had for his car and our cars were almost identical except a few things like our seats and what not. as soon as i get my reports back i will post them so we can compare.
i was lucky to find this car.... Good friend of mine from highschool bought it from his uncle(original owner) when we were 14 with the intentions of driving it some but insurance for the car was too high so he parked it in the back of his parents shop for 10 years and let it collect dust.. Long story short i wanted the car for all those years but couldnt get him to part with it until about 6 months ago he finally decided to let it go, so ive been dumping all my free time over the past 6 months into getting it back to the road.... have gone thru and replaced all the suspension, brakes, gaskets under the hood, fresh fluids, and rebuilt the 4bbl carb, new set of chrome pony wheels with tires... Car is running solid(knock on wood)... Hoping to pull the motor winter of 2014 and to a 306 bottom end and throw a set of AFR heads paired with a nice intake and cam.. Just looking to have a nice cruiser that will get up and go when i need it to.
Is that a Cobra? How many miles on he odometer? What options does it have? Is there a buck tag, build sheet, owner card, window sticker, etc. available?

It has been resprayed recently (in +/- original colour) and got still it's owner and service interval manuals. The two pairs of keys look original as well (although the material of the keys looks like "old" aluminium?!).

That Cobra looks amazing Sickshift, but what is that black thing next to the Cobra emblem on the passenger dash bezel? I love the color combo, silver with blue looks awesome. Great car!
