Bought 95 #235 Its a driver 50k miles looks like it had a bolt in cage. In the right lightnig and angle you can make out where it had a hood decal looks like in big letters DITB then in small letters logan and todd beneath it.
fuel cell is out of the car stock tank in it. I have the cell. Had no brake lights or turns signals I replaced the turnsignal switch now everything works. Now I need a wiper module. Runs and drives great still smells new on the inside

Nice car!

Your car wasn't in my records (it is now). Your description sounds like a local amateur speed series. I hope you have a lot of fun with it.

Welcome to SVTP R threads where the rules require getting off-topic quickly. ;)

For the first time since atleast 2006. This cobra R has the correct wheels. I cant belive how many thousands of cobra R wheels that were sold I kinda had a hard time finding some.

What is your end goal with the car?

My opinion, as long as it is bolt-in then yes. I would stick with Ford Racing parts since those are what are more "correct" for you car as opposed to aftermarket. I believe they would hold value after installed. Other parts may hurt value. I wouldn't do the subs.

Was going to do ford racing subframes, ford racing driveshaft. Tfs or edelbrock heads, Car already has pro5.0 shifter,off road h-pipe,flowmaster catback, H&R springs. The car is a R and it's Dated, Ive owned k.b. 03 cobra's procharged 2011 5.0 I know this is a rare car but it really needs some updating My car isn't a low miles mint car. But its pretty nice.

I went MSD. Mine is heavily modded, with 11k miles. You don't have a wrapper car, you have a driver. Make it the driver you want it to be. So what if there's only 249 of them. It sucks when they go up in value so much that you don't want to beat them anymore. Enjoy it while you still can.
