Wow! that person destroyed that car! that's terrible to destroy 1 of 250 cars like that. Even if you restored that car i bet it has a salvaged title, it would have to, that car will never be worth as much it could of been. You would have to replace everything with all that rust and it doesn't even come with the cobra R engine! Piece of ****

if you are a big collector of ford racing or mustang racing and don't mind spending some bucks, it would be an ok buy. Never know, if someone buys it and restores the thing it might be worth something one day. Only thing is that it would need the original motor and tranny to make it numbers matching. It does have all the paperwork though. Never know, might see it in next 25-30 years on the barret-jackson selling for some outragous price that the average joe could never spend. but in the meantime, I think I'll pass.

Well, the R was intended for racing, so it's cool that it was damaged while serving it's intended purpose...

It's NOT cool that they stuck it in a ****ing field to rot away afterwards. WTF?

I like that it was used for racing, but agree with it sitting in the field. Just take the vin plate and swap it to a GT..

he really needs to sell it before it gets swallowed up by the dirt.

if i was looking for a project stang i would buy it, restore it over the next 15 years and by then you will be able to race nostalgia races with it.

It is worthless. Even if you "restore" it will NEVER be worth anything close to an actual undamaged Cobra R.

no doubt about it, but it would be cool to own a 95 R and this would be as close as i will ever be to affording one.

realistically it would take about $20k to get it back into track shape. so for $27500(10k less than a stock R) you would have a nice track car with a story.

yea i would like to customize the car to my likings but they have a good shape cobra r to buy for 28,000 i think on ebay. but yea much easier to get the cash goin overtime. That would be awesome to own a 1 of 250 95' Cobra R car that was built to be a racecar! Lots of FUN! but lots of WORK!!!! & TIME!!!! & DOUGH!!!!

Am I the only one who thinks something is fishy?
The Title I have was signed over from the original owners to a gentleman in Florida, He tried to assign it to another gentleman and he was not a dealer, I bought it from that gentleman and have never tried to get it reassigned to me, so you will get the title as I have it.
Click to expand...
If I read this right, the title does not have this guys name on it, but some guy in FL? What would stop the guy in Florida from reclaiming it? I don't see how you can run into any trouble transfering the title of a Cobra R. I thought the only restriction was from ford and that was for the original owner to have a race license. To someone who can not afford an R right now and wants one, this is perfect. You will put more money in it over time, but that is easier than clumping a lump sum together right now. Either way something doesnt seem to add up with the titles.

It has a race history...and that makes the collector value even more.

IF one had the time/money/space I would not think it was a bad deal.

I would rather see my car blow up in a ball of flames at a racetrack (esp. an R), than some kid making a tree magnet out of it.

that's what i'm sayin.

just take a look at original shelby cobras with and without race history--big price diff.

do a little research and maybe someone that is famous now wrecked it
