Vehicle Description
Zoom Classic Cars is proud to present this rare Cobra SVT R Code.
The 2000 Mustang Cobra SVT R code is an exceptional sports car that
embodies power, performance, and style. As part of the revered SVT
(Special Vehicle Team) lineup, this model takes the already
impressive Mustang and elevates it to a whole new level. The 2000
SVT Mustang Cobra R debuted as the fastest factory Mustang ever
produced and was SVT's sole high-performance Mustang for the 2000
model year. Zoom Classic Cars is proud to present this
exceptionally clean and tastefully modified 2000 Ford Mustang Cobra
R. This vehicle is 1 of 300 originally manufactured R code Mustangs
from Ford in 2000 and currently has just over 18,000 miles on it.
The current owner purchased this car in 2013 out of California
where it was first sold when brand new. This Cobra R comes dressed
in the factory original Performance Red exterior that looks as
shiny and perfect as the day it rolled off the assembly line. It is
powered by its original 5.4 Liter and transfers the power to the
rear wheels via the 6-speed manual transmission. After specific
modifications this Mustang is truly a 1 of 1. The modifications
were performed by Paul Svinicki who was a consultant to Ford Racing
during the development of the car. Modifications to this specific
Mustang have been done by Paul at his shop, Paul's High Performance
in Jackson, Michigan, and include a Hurst shifter, Pro-Comp
Ultra-Lite cluster/gauges, custom front tow hook, full Bassani side
pipe exhaust, a custom intake induction system, IRS toe link bars,
and pinion supports. All the original stock parts are included with
the sale. After modification the rear wheel HP as indicated was 397
HP and translates to 456 HP at the crank (See Dyno Sheet in
photos). Original specs were 385HP +/- at the crank. New slotted
and vented Baer brake rotors were installed. The rotors are
actually approximately 1" larger in diameter than the stock rotors.
The original factory separation between the interior of the vehicle
and the trunk mounted fuel cell was simply carpet attached with
velcro. This has been upgraded with a full heavy gauge steel wall
fastened to the existing rear seat frame to clearly separate the
interior from the trunk. This has then been covered with the
original carpet. This in fact makes the car "legal" in terms of an
actual separation in lieu of just a piece of fabric. This Mustang
is equipped with Factory Recaro bucket seats with RJS Racing
harnesses. The interior is spotless and showroom clean. Showing off
its performance nature, the Mustang R, lacks a rear seat, with no
radio, air conditioning or extraneous instrumentation. Everything
that could be cut to reduce the R's weight, was to enhance
performance. It includes an aggressive front dam with brake cooling
and a huge rear wing to keep the rear-end in check. The 2000 Cobra
R had several distinguishing visual and performance features that
allow one to easily identify it as something more than a normal
1999 or 2001 Cobra. The power dome hood is taller than the normal
Cobra hood but was required to clear the large intake plenum which
had separate "runners" for each cylinder. The rear spoiler is tall
and wide, providing much needed down force at track speeds. The
driving experience in the 2000 Mustang Cobra SVT R code is
thrilling. With its high-performance suspension, upgraded brakes,
and wider tires, it offers excellent handling and grip on both
straightaways and twisty roads. The car effortlessly accelerates
from 0 to 60 mph in around 4.5 seconds, delivering a rush of
adrenaline to the driver. This vehicle is the pinnacle of Mustang
performance for its time and continues to be celebrated by
enthusiasts for its thrilling driving dynamics. Whether you're on
the track or cruising the streets, this Mustang Cobra is sure to
make a lasting impression. This vehicle is located in Metro
Detroit, has a clean Michigan title, a clear CarFax report,
significant documentation of modifications, maintenance, and
original sales documents. This 2000 Mustang Cobra SVT R code is an
iconic sports car that combines stunning design, raw power, and
agile handling. Call Tom at: (269) 317-3955 for more information or
