[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 14297274, member: 9628"] Now that would be a Rare Cobra R............2001!!! when the other 300 were built in 2000. ;-) I agree with others that the build numbers make a large difference in future $$$ value, yes some cars may have low build numbers for color, or options, but they are still XXXXX car and fall under the total build number for that specific year. Cars that are low number builds and are desirable do seem to go up quicker than some others, for example, I bought a 1993 Cobra R in 2004, the car originally was $26,995 MSRP in 1993 on the window sticker, I paid $40K for it with 178 original miles at 10 years old. I used it for local car shows and sold it with 458 original miles in 2008 (at 15 years old) for $70K and a $30K clear profit for a 4 year ownership time period. I owned a 2000 Cobra R during this same time period, it had 21.6 original miles on it when I bought it in 2003 for $40K (original MSRP $54,995) I also drove it to car shows and built up 850 mile on it when I sold it in 2009 for $47.5K. <<Not as much profit as the 93R, but still a profit. My 95R #108, I lost approx. $3K on it during a 4 year ownership, but it was also a fun car to own. The market is lower on both of these cars right now, but because of their low build numbers it will recover earlier that some other cool SVT cars. The KR's will come around, they are unique and in comparison to the regular production GT500, they are very low build numbers. R [/QUOTE]
