My "new" toy.

[Goose17]

Found this vehicle in a tiny print ad in middle-of-nowhere Montana. The elderly seller ended up having knee replacement surgery while we were discussing the sale. This, along with delayed shipping, made this purchase a long, drawn-out ordeal. It arrived late tonight on a big 18-wheeler. To say I was excited is an understatement. I have actually never seen one of these in real life (only on the internet). The first time I see on in person, it is getting offloaded in front of my garage. I drove it the length of my short driveway and the only thing I noticed in that short distance was it feels like a beast. The engine shakes the car!

Oh, I forgot to mention. It has 764 miles on it.

Now that's a stable, congrats.

Do I dare ask how much ??

Your garage is looking like mine, well at least half of it lol

I'll have four in my garage hopefully by the end of this week.

Let's just say it wasn't cheap!

Missing from the pic is my 89 GT vert. I've been buying a bunch of new parts when they go on sale to restore it.

Pics of the 00R from this morning:

Congratulations. I just got into the Cobra R's myself. It's very exciting to be around and enjoy these cars. I'm in Houston if you want to link up some time.

Cool beans! I'm in the Fort Worth area. My R will never make a trek that far, but my Shelby runs all over. Holler if you ever come up to the DFW area as well.

You are getting right up there with Treynor in my book of hate.

Tim - Glad to see you finally got it home. Isn't is a cool looking Mustang?!? I had fun with mine during the time I owned it.

Whenever I opened the hood, "BOSS 429 of the later model Mustangs" always came to mind.

Yes! Also, thank you Robert! I read back through this entire forum all the way back to 2001 (the start). I learned a lot from your posts.

 

[R.D.P.]

Very nice. Now you just need a 95r and 93r and at some point you should probably go ahead and get a 350r.

Definitely need a 350R one day!

 

[KyleSVT]

Congrats! I just love the 00 R. Would love to own one someday. Hope you put some more miles on that car and enjoy it!

 

[2011 gtcs]

Hell yeah man, congrats. Talk about a killer Svt line up

 

[Wishing4Cobra]

Nice! Congrats

Saw this on the 93 forum. Great addition to the stable. We now have 2 cars in common, 00 and 04. Have an 89 vert too, but it's a saleen vs a GT. Guess we have similar tastes.

Congrats on the car and garage.
