[QUOTE="93SVTCobra, post: 4537034, member: 2124"] I had always wanted a 93R but couldn't find one in my price range. I was collecting parts to build up a track car out of a theft recovery 93 Cobra I had purchased when a friend sent me an email with this Cobra R for sale. Originally I thought the car was Cobra R #83 because the description was very similar so I passed (Steve - I still regret not purchasing that car!) because it was just a roller. A week passed and this person sent me another email asking if I had looked at the car and I explained that I didn't because if I was going to buy a car it would have to be ready to go. He said it was and to look at the pictures. When I did I realized the car was almost exactly what I was building. After a 2 hour phone conversation with the owner I bought the car. Open tracked it for a year and then American Iron racing with it for 2 years. It's now retired and just open tracked. It's main function is to pass 00R's on the track!:-p I also purchased two 95R's back in 95-96 but flipped them almost immediately for a nice profit. I picked up a 95R project car a few months ago and am collecting parts for a full resto back to track status. Showing R Models is fine but I get more enjoyment from driving them the way they were intended. The number of people at the track that have told me they have never seen a 93R is amazing. Giving someone a ride in the car (although it's far from stock) makes them realize what these cars were really for. [/QUOTE]
