My son was in town for the Holidays from NM
So I had a chance to pull the old girl out of storage and light her up.
She hasnt been out much since we moved to Fla.
Fired on first turn as usual. A few of the neighbors at the condo came out once she was roaring lol
Hate not having a house and a full size garage but thats the drama of getting ready to build a home.

So, were the neighbors upset about the noise, or squealing with delight? LOL.

Nice Cobra!

Think the 93Rs at BJ will go for around $110k ish.
Both have been on market before but guess owners feel BJ will get then top dollar
We will see......
Looking forward to seeing the prices on the Paul Walker Collection vehicles.
They are not selling all his stuff including his 93R which would probably be the record for a 93R if it were to be auctioned at BJ.
As far as mine goes the neighbors were more stunned to find out there was a car hidden in the garage...
Since I'm the original owner I will only sell it to the right person at the right price.

Was my understanding that the 93R was Roger Rodas' (Paul Walkers biz partner) and I know that was sold many years ago, at a California auction for $4x,xxx. I tried to buy this car, before they auctioned it. I dont remember the production number, when and where it might have changed hands since, if it has. Had 6xx miles when AE auctioned it.

EDIT found it, was number 31 sold in 2013

So #7 R has been on the market a while (the second car listed at BJ)??? Its got 33 miles, and is still on MSO according to the listing.

55 and 59 have been on the market a lot, 55 is at BJ, but 59 this time is at Mecum this week, not at BJ.

How many miles are on your #23?

Good info on the Walker/Rodas car thanks for clarifying its lineage.
My car has about 9700 on the clock. I put everyone of them on her.
She in great shape with a good history.
I kind of laugh at all the "pristine" ones still out there because none of the cars was built to be show cars and museum pieces. They all have flaws like runs in the paint etc...
Ford built them to race and so they were assembled with that in mind.
Still John Coletti once told me that of all the 3 years the 93 was the only "hand built' one and the one he wish he had.

$143K, plus commission. Yeah, darn good money. Only 33 miles on the car.

The 33 mile car #7 on MSO, was in really sad condition. It looked like it was stored in a 3 sided garage (read elsewhere that it may have been). The underside / engine bay, were flat out dirty, cobwebs, aluminum oxidized, and surface rust. I was on the block ready to go, if it went for what I was willing to give for it, instead if sells for maybe a record? The car is likely fixable, but going to take a lot of work. The #55, a few lots later, was a very nice 3xx mile car that was MUCH nicer. It sold for $20k less. Really pays to do your homework in advance (I started looking at both Wednesday, they sold Friday)
