1993 FORD MUSTANG COBRA R

Vehicle was purchased from Jim Blackman Ford in Florida. Mr. Blackman owned five Ford car and truck dealerships and he also raced cars in 1993. He was well-connected with the Dearborn Ford Motor Plant, and he purchased seven Cobra Rs. This is one of those seven and was hauled to Farmers Branch, TX,in 1993. It has remained there since then, but has never been registered or had Texas License or tags since 1993. When it comes to the interior of this snake, the bare essentials was the name of the game. The R indeed stood for race, because the power options were gone. Manual door locks, manual adjustable side-view mirrors and roll-up windows were in place to save weight. Also there is a list of items that normally were standard on the Mustang GT and the Cobra but were left off also to save weight: Air conditioner, sound-deadener, fog lights, rear seat with safety belts. Rear carpet, roll-up cargo cover for the hatch, radio, speakers, wiring and antenna were all gone. SVT used manually adjustable cloth front seats from the LX since they were lighter than the GT/Cobra sport seats. Ford even used a thin piece of gray carpet to cover the bare hatch and rear seat area. Just 33 actual miles.

Powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. Purchased from Jim Blackmon Ford and sent to Texas, where it's never been registered. 33 actual miles.
