You know you are so right about the performance of the new cars being so good. Its just so much better than ones even 5-10 years old.... My 2016 GT350 does both so very well.

I agree.

I will have to say that I tried and tried to buy a new GT350. I just can't pay over MSRP. The new 2019 PP1 (I don't need the PP2) is a perfect car for me. It has 50% more HP than my 1995 Cobra R and a much better brake and suspension package.

My old vintage 1965 Mustang car was really good on the eastern race tracks with many podiums and Championships. This is at Sebring:

So love the look of your coupe. And it looks like you are racing in the rain...braver than I am but I guess back there you are used to it. This is my car in sunnier weather.

View attachment 1539004 Hi everyone... Happy New Year as well. Say I'm helping a friend to sell his 2000 R. There is a complete ad on CraigsList (link below) and on Racing Junk. Let me know if any of you are interested and also what you think is a fair market price for it. I'll let the owner know. Thanks in advance.

I think the mods are hurting you on that car. Most R buyers are looking for an original car. I'm seeing a cold air induction and if the OEM parts are gone, that is expensive to correct. Belts, welded in rollcage, the aluminum panels. The black air dam also isn't original. I also think the dark rims are really hurting you.

I would agree with you on the modifications taking value away from the car. The purists would certainly want a completely stock one. And there are some available but for more money. The alum panels are easily taken out and the stock carpets are underneath...can't verify but its what I have been told. Some have mentioned the splitter in black. That would have to be repainted. I have no info on the availability of the plastic intake runner. No one has brought that up yet. I'm not sure just what advantage the alum runner would have over the plastic. As for the rims...that is such a personal thing...sure chrome is stock but personally I love the look of the dark rims on almost any kind of muscle car. Thanks for your feedback...much appreciated.

Good luck with these cars.

I have no clue why, but the values are where they are.

As a value money manager, I like looking to buy soon since the rarity will be important one day.

Very fair buy price. I think many guys that had a poster on their bedroom wall are buying now.

I just returned from Amelia Island (basically a big car show with auctions). I talked to a lot of guys that were in high school during the Cobra R years (I wore an old Cobra R t-shirt one day).

It was a great sunny FL weekend with lots of great cars. Here:

Very cool!

I run across quite a few people online and in person that lust after the 2000 Cobra R, which is pretty cool since these cars are 19 years old now. Even with all the advancements in Mustangs through the years, the 00R is just a different and special animal. I was surprised by the sales price, but I know the seller... his cars are fantastic. I think we will continue to see strong demand for the red finned one.
