I am looking at one now and appreciate any comments.
Good. Bad. Otherwise.

Anyone know what the market $ is for a very low mileage unmolested Cobra R?
Thanks for sharing your adventure, Boss302r013.
Thoughts?
Always hated guys that answered questions with a question, but.... Before i can answer, what are your plans with the car?
Other resonable opioions with vary but here's mine...
If your looking for a track beast 00R for a good price you seem to have found it. If you're looking for a mint condition, prime example/ "collectable" then this one probably isn't it.
Cool car with the cage, but it seriously narrows resell and street usability. I would think serious collectors looking for an 00R in the future look past cars with modifications that perminately alter the car. Welding cages is about as extreme a modification as one can get. But, since were on "trackmustangonline" site it maybe perfect for you!
Mine is still 100% OEM down to the tires.
Can you remove the front part of the roll cage and leave everything behind the seats in? That leaves open the potential use of harnesses if you or the next owner decides to drive it on a track.
Oh, as per the car?
Its cool but has downsides. Its very, very, very raw just a race car would be on the street. Harsh, bumpy, hot, angry at low speeds and clunky as hell. All that kicks ass for about 20 mile runs around town. At the 20 mile/ 40 minute mark I'm headed home. Happy but done with it.
The splitter demands you plan route ahead of time.
You can't leave it alone in a parking lot. Trust me. Crazy person magnet for sure.
The car mkes great sounds.
Ask about the fuel cell. If the bladder hasn't been replaced it will need to be. About a 1500 spend.
More thoughts.
The hood. Most cracked back in the day. Ford replaced them but the replacements often had paint issues. If the car has an uncracked, orginial OEM hood, consider that a reason to pay more.
The proper way to close the hood is to hold it up 30 inches and drop it. Makes an awful sound but it works. Do not push down to "click it". As it cracks.
