Vehicle Description
2000 Ford Mustang Cobra R
The 2000 SVT Mustang Cobra R debuted as the fastest factory Mustang
ever produced. Its SVT-developed, naturally aspirated 5.4-liter V-8
produced 385 horsepower, good for 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds, the
quarter mile in 13.2 and a 170-mph top speed.
For consignment with only 300 built, (#245), and the fastest
production Mustang of its time, AND only 821 original documented
miles on the clock, this is a collector car. However, given its
performance and lure to get in, you may want to make use of this
investment! Given the price of inflation and fuel going to go by
the wayside, it may be worth using it. The car has been in
temperature and humidity-controlled storage for the last 15
years.
Exterior
All bathed in Performance Red Clearcoat with just a few marks on
the front from the mileage that was out on, this car is otherwise
low mileage perfection. A big front splitter goes mean and low to
the ground and frames the otherwise Mustang front grille with
galloping horse in its center. Rocker flared fairings hover below
the throwback hockey stick cover above in the doors and rear
quarter, and on back a high spoiler keeps things grounded. In lieu
of chromed trimmings all is either body color or black as with the
glass trimmings. Just below the end of the cove prior to the rear
wheel well dual shiny topped exhaust peek out. Just a sample of the
heavy breathing this mill can achieve. On back the triple
taillights, now nice aero designs are above a body matching
neoprene crash bumper. Satin silver 18-inch Cobra R Wheels are all
around and consigner states original tires are in their original
mounting positions from the factory.
Interior
Dark Charcoal Recaro sculpted high back racing style buckets are
flanking a rounded center console in lighter gray. Here we see a
B&M Ripper shifter mounted, and as the center console rises to
the dash it takes the edge lines and forms them into dual curved
"eyebrows" for the dash. One side houses the instruments, and the
other a small curved shelf and glove box below. This is all
original equipment. Factory condition gray carpeting is flooding
the floors, and in back a rear bench delete has been performed with
just some felting covering where the seat would be. A nice gray
headliner is above and of course perfection!
Drivetrain
A 5.4 Liter DOHC V8 which produces a whopping 385hp is in and is
fed by EFI which is finicky and only will burn ethanol free fuel
92/93 octane so be careful. A T56 6-speed manual transmission is on
back, and Ford provides the 8.8-inch 3.55 TracLoc rear axle. Can
you say minty?
Undercarriage
Like new with cast aluminum aplenty and all non corroded. Factory
part stickers are still attached, and the floorpan has a bit of red
overspray. Borla Mufflers calm down the sound but do not interfere
with the exhale, and all 3-inch stainless Bassani X pipe is noted
coming from the engine on to the quick side exit. Independent
Eibach coil spring suspension is on all 4 corners. Brembo disc
brakes which are vented, (factory installed), are up front. Power
disc brakes, non Brembo, are on the back.
Drive-Ability
Due to low miles we decided against the test track, however it
fires right up, and it is assumed all working excellent condition,
based on fully documented mileage.
A definite collector car, (owned by a few), but you may be tempted
to have it spread its wings and break it out for what I'm sure
would be an E ticket ride on any back road. Most would be oblivious
to the special thoroughbred you are actually driving, however those
that know, know.
A real time capsule, #245 of 300 total, and low miles make this a
real sweet piece of automotive candy. Comes with its original
window sticker, bumper delivery sticker, original build sheet, jack
instructions and the completely intact SVT 3-ring binder with all
the factory certificates, original engraved serial plate and
paperwork. The owner's manual is still sealed in plastic and it
also has the factory keys and fobs. Has an unbroken chain of
ownership and the original tires in their original position that
have never been left on the ground while in storage. The hood is
100% original and has none of the common bubbling of the paint seen
on the earlier cars. A must see in person car, and you'd better be
real serious because it's highly unlikely you'll be able to go for
a frivolous test drive in the near future unless you were seriously
planning to "pony" up the dough!
