i'm not familiar, can you share the story about this R?
#4 of 250…..This is one of the lowest numbered 95R available, this is the second 95R offered to the public for sale. This car has a unique history in addition to having an extremely low production number.
Cobra R #4 was originally owned by a prominent Ford dealer in Michigan and he raced the car locally in SCCA race events from 1995-2001. In order to ensure the car would remain ‘complete’ later in life, he wisely pulled the original short block out of the car and put it in storage, he replaced it with a mild 377 c.i. race engine. His most famous race was the 1995 Cannonball One Lap of America Race in which it finished 10th in the SGT1 Class, 12th overall.
Cobra R #4 is noted for being “The Rosie's Diner car”, photos of it can be found in the first edition of the SVT Recognition Guide by Tom Schreiner (page 104). The VIN number of this car can be verified as CORRECT in the VIN listing on page 176 of the SVT Recognition Guide mentioned above. The build date on this car was 2/16/95.
