Doc, I was really surprised when you sold your R. They are such a raw car to drive and "feel" like a race car on the street. Rough, noisy, hot....raw. The 351 was a torque monster and 139 still puts me back in the seat when I drive it. I can't imagine parting with either of mine. I just...

You want to look for a cat pipe for a 94-5 5.0 and it will fit your R. Tom

Hi Mark, Good hearing from you. I've never heard of a 95R having any issues. Maybe take it to a paint shop and let them give you an opinion on what it is and corrective measures. Tom

What are you asking for the car? Tom

Great info and thanks for sharing. Tom

Can you provide more information on the car's history? Racing details? Any pics in race livery? Tom

Very nice. What did you use to accomplish the finish? Tom

Out of the Motorsport/Racing catalog. Not off of an original R. Tom

How many pages? Tom

I can't speak on the 93R but the 95R and 00R rims have date codes on the back of the spokes. None of them had the build number indicated. You can use the date code to determine whether they were within the window of originality prior to the date the cars were built at DAP. I know for certain...

Bargain! Tom

Hey Ken! Good hearing from you checking in. I think that is Jim Steelman in the black Hacker Clone. He bought it from Mike Jacobs prior to you purchasing the 95R. Not sure who is the 00R coming out of the corner. I heard you sold the Hacker 95R. Did it go to Dallas? Tom

WOW! And thank you for this post. It is encouraging to hear how others feel about Zippo and the other Rs of this era. To me, they are extra special since this whole production run of 250 cars actually fulfilled their intention of being successful race cars. Whether raced professionally...

I haven't look at the ad but a lot of people sell 95 and 00 R rims as "original R rims". They confuse REAL R rims with those offered for years in Ford Motorsport/Racing. Unfortunately, buyers also think they are getting ultra rare rims and pay up. Tom

Yep, I understand. I'm only on FB to stay up with my car friends and keep up with those communities. These internet forums are pretty dead unfortunately. Tom
