FS: two-owner 1995 Cobra R with extra parts (and paperwork) $30K

[1995COBRA-R]

I have a really nice 1995 Cobra R that needs a new home. I have all of the paperwork back to the dealer in Hamburg, NY (#113 of 250).

The original wheels now have a set of original "sticker" tires which have never been on the ground. It currently has some Ford Cobra R OEM wheels and tires.

It has the original instructions on dialing in the rear shocks (with the tool).

**It has a new 1995 steel fuel tank installed** I still have the original fuel cell as well as another fuel cell which are included. The only other modification is the air filter. I still have the original one.

It's a great investment at this price.

Doc.....the R model you would never sell... So, what are you looking at to replace it?

Tom,
Well the deal fell through on a new GT350 so I guess I'll be holding on.

Have to tell you, I like my R, but I'd make that swap too

Aaahhhh, the lure of new technology, and air, and a radio, and other modern amenities.

Not being smart, but you are avoiding the 2016 tech package cars?

Tom,
I bet you like a/c during the middle of summer? Heck, it is going to be 94 degrees in Atlanta today with 90% humidity. I can do without most other amenities.

It's the lure of the engine in the GT350 that gets my attention. I've driven two and gotta have one.

The 5.8L in the 95R was nice in 1995 but a little less exciting than the GT350 (and even the new 5.0).

I've seen your car and hope you decide to hang onto it. Didn't realize you have two cells as spares. I'd love to get one of those, but probably should take my tank out and keep it safe while putting in a Glenn's replacement so I don't have to struggle finding ethanol free premium gas.

Beautiful car.

I totally get it. I bought my 14 GT 500 and haven't regretted selling my 95 conv/ht. In fact, I drove the Shelby one time and told my wife I would never drive the 95 again.

I've had the pleasure of instructing in a 350R and it is an amazing vehicle. Once you get one, I believe you will be most impressed with the brakes, over the other major systems. That was my situation.

Keep looking. As the 17s and then the 18s hit the market, the prices are going to start coming down. Especially if the new 500 actually makes production.

I agree. The new one is very fast:


I like the styling of the car and think the performance is above awesome.

[Sorry about the above double post]
My ask was too high. I agree. I've seen the recent auction results.

The bids are dispersing for all but the perfect cars.

I've received a few almost fair offers for the car but none that interest me. I'd go to $26,000 (firm).
