    00R #83 getting full service.

    #83 has 1600 miles and is overdue for a little work. I suppose I’m keeping to that 2000 mile/ 20 year service plan. Evan at SHG Motorsports agreed to completely flush of every drop of original fluids (engine oil was done a few times) and then address those pesky 00R issues too- rack & cell...

    Historic / Collectable Race Car questions

    Calling all historic race car experts. I'm always in the market for a new toy, how do I begin understanding and tracking the very fluid market that is collectable race cars? As an example, 70's Trans Am Boss 302's (real and clones) are all over the map in terms of selling prices, how...

    Cobra R Plates

    http://www.coolridepix.com/CobraPlates/CobraPlateFWEB.jpg I ordered a BOSS plate for the new LS and then e-mailed about our Cobra Rs. Justin worked up this prototype. I like it and plan to order one for #83. $35 per. He can modify the year for 93's and 95's too. Passing along a...

    00R Paperwork / Documentation (VALUES)

    I picked up that press kit on ebay this week, at what I thought was a steal, and it got me to thinking. In some aspects each 00R's own individual documents (black book, plate, supplement) are becoming very rare and when offered for sale are insanely costly. Is it safe to assume the 00R's...

    Race/ Track cars for sale?

    I'm shopping! No hurry but looking. I'm a firm believer that most of the good cars are never advertised. In the last 10 years I've sold 4 race cars and never needed RacingJunk.com or other sites; as I knew there were always guys asking to buy them. So, what's for sale out there? I'm...

    The *best* 00R car cover on the market?

    I'm going to need a cover soon! I'd like to get a dual purpose one. The car will be inside 98% of the time but it would be nice to have one ready at an event just in case. Thoughts? Thanks.

    Missing stuff...

    Found a nice 00R fairly local. Fair price, but not great. Ready to go ahead and buy. Then I said, "Let's talk about the R specific paperwork, whats included?" "What paperwork", was the reply. I explained the items I needed. Number plate Black book SVT Cert. Window sticker...

    The R Community

    Question. Is there an active Cobra R community? I know there's a SVT Cobra Association but anything R specific? You know, the kind of clubs that meet/ organize shows and track days? I've sent some time with these folks, ITR EXPO 11 and there seems to be some similarities. The...
