Recently I had the privilege of acquiring 1995 Cobra R #66/250. This chassis was raced in SCCA/IMSA in 1995/96 by Frank Simone with support by Gemini Racing Systems. It has been in storage since. 95R #66 was documented in a couple magazine and newspaper articles. I first became aware of this...

Not a Cobra R but it's still an R. Hope everyone doesn't mind... I recently acquired the wrecked and stripped BOSS302R 015 tub. It needs some straightening, radiator core support, quarter panel and just about all the bits and pieces that make up a Boss 302R. I'm trying to decide what race...

Twenty years and just 523 miles after leaving the showroom, this 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R finally reaches the racetrack. http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a25844/a-1995-ford-mustang-cobra-r-reaches-the-racetrack/

I’ve been rummaging through a few bins of old racing brake parts given to me by a Grand Am team I crewed for a few years ago. Among dozens and dozens of used (who knows what) brake pads I came across one new box of Hawk Gold HT-9 .610 pads and several boxes of Raybestos Racing Pads p/n 33D412A...

While working on the fuel cell on my 1995 R I noticed that the fuelpump is a different design than the standard 1995 Cobra/GT. It appears that among other things (Air Cleaner, Alternator, etc) the fuelpump for the 1995 R was pulled from the 1996 Cobra parts bin. The 1995 Cobra/GT used a center...

I have registered to run 1995 Cobra R #77 in the Texas Mile in March. I hate to drop that kind of money on an event where I won’t get much track time and only go in a straight line (hopefully) but it’s too close to home to not try it at least once. I’m going to be WAY underpowered compared to a...

Does anyone know of a Stainless Steel catback system that clears the fuel cell on the 1995 Cobra R? I had a Bassani catback on my R but it interferes with the fuel cell on the passenger front corner and drivers side. I ended up switching to dumps but that was boiling my fuel so I need to switch...

Those of you familiar with the ex-IMSA Cobra R’s have undoubtedly seen video of the multi car wreck at the 1996 IMSA race at Road Atlanta. That crash ended the pro racing career of the original Snipes Motorsports Cobra R. I just came across the below incar video posted by Paul Dudinsky on...

I finally have my ex-IMSA 1995 Cobra R back on the road. I still need to address a couple things to have it track ready so in the mean time I’ve been hitting the local cruise/cars and coffee type gatherings with it. It is becoming very evident that the 1995 R’s are being forgotten. Maybe it’s...

Have any of you guys looked at building a Cobra R radiator using Mercury Villager tanks and a diesel Lincoln Mark VII core?

As I’m buttoning things up on my engine install I want to verify the wire harness and hose routing/orientation since the motor has been in and out so many times. Do any of you guys have engine pics showing the routing of these items? Pics from the underside and engine stand pics would be most...

Is M-6675-A58 the correct part number for the 1995 Cobra R Oil Pan Kit? I thought it was M-6675-R58 or at least something ending with R58. The A58 pan is the only one I can find listed for the 351w but its not listed as a Cobra R Oil Pan.

As some of you know I have a major project on my hands with my Ex-Speedvision Cup Snipes Motorsports Cobra R. The car was wrecked at Sebring in October 1997 and the team parted it out. The project has been on hold for a few years but I'm ready to start gathering parts. I will need everything to...

I love seeing the GT350’s from Gary Jones Motorsports, Cobra Automotive, etc in action on the vintage race circuit. The 65-66’s are by the far the most common GT350’s on the track and it seems that most people don’t realize that the 67’s were also raced back in the day. Below I’ve attached some...

Last Fall I broke the #1 exhaust rocker arm stud on my 95R. Well I finally got around to working on it. It looks like I got lucky and there appears to be no further damage on the top side of the head. I replaced all the studs and buttoned everything back up. When I fired it up the engine has a...
