Photo of a Tangerine orange 1979 Mustang hatchback with Cobra graphics. It has a bright white interior. It's actually two-tone, orange over black. Check out the yellow pinstripe on the vinyl body molding which circles the entire car. In 1980 the Mustang Cobra was redesigned to have a 3 slot grille with integrated front spoiler, rear facing non-functional hood scoop, and rear spoiler.

In this view you can see the hood Cobra graphics and rear window louvers or sport slats. Usually the rear spoiler was color-coded to match the body.

The 1979 Cobra came standard with the W-code, 2.3L 130hp 4-cylinder Turbo engine or the optional F-code 5.0L 134 to 143hp (California emissions or not) V8. This appears to be the 5.0 liter V8 engine.
