7500 for this

Am I the only one who thinks something is fishy?

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.


I thought that too but didn't say anything. Doubt anybody on here would actually buy it
 
If I had $7500 to blow, I'd buy it, find a junker V6 Mustang to steal some miscellaneous body panels off of, pull the cage out of it, and search for some "R" specific parts to at least get it to running condition. I'm sure it could be done for fairly cheap for someone who could do the work, versus letting a shop do it. The hardest part would be getting a hold of the true "R" specific parts.
 
With is being a actual track car the original engine isn't a big deal. The motors are essentially lightning long blocks with a different cam. There aren't that expensive. There are a few parts that are hard to come by but, again, alot of those parts weren't used on the race cars. They were uaually upgraded. It isn't a car for the inexperienced. When restoring muscle cars I fixed alot worse and have seen far worse.
 
a freinds brother-in-law restored/resto-moded an old VW bug...he started by digging out dirt from the inside to get it out of the field...its now a yellow show winner that is realy a nice bug. So yeah, that thing is not too far gone by a long shot.
