93 Cobra R...wow

That doesn't sound at all insane to me. This was a collectible the day it was built, and it's been kept in stasis for 15 years. With the current economy, it's a hell of a time to bring it out, but that may be the reason that it IS coming out at this time.

The starting point of $100K is not unreasonable to me. I would start by asking the moon and then settle on the best offer, of course. But putting it up for sale with an asking price of $50K - that would be insane.

Agreed... doesn't sound to insane either... hey, if he can get 100K for it, more power to him! I'm sure there are at least a couple people out there that would being willing to drop that kind of coin on it...

There was a Grand National on e-bay not to long ago, that was in the same price range... it was still brand new! In fact it had never been titled from the dealership...

I frequently watch the Barrett-Jackson auto auctions on Speed TV (cable), and it wouldn't surprise me if the starting bid on this vehicle was 100K. Lots of folks with lots of money attend these auctions, and it's not unusual to see one person buying several cars and spending upwards of

I've heard that the alcohol at Barrett-Jackson helps loosen the wallets a bit too! LOL! And people do get so caught up in bidding... heck, i know I do at the local fund raisers.... Friend of mine who attend the BJ auto auctions talked to a couple winning bidders... they admit that they had spent more than they had planned...

I have to ask. After you spend a 100 grand on this thing, what do you do with it?

Patrick

Sell it for a profit to the next sucker.

Goto your local drag strip and rawhide the piss out of it!!

Exactly my point to begin with. It's a life sized model. I have a 93 Cobra with 48,000 hard miles on it. It sits in the garage all winter and I can't wait to get it out every summer. A collector would buy this car but a Mustang lover wouldn't (to just let it sit).

When ya got that much change for a collector car you've got money for a "driver" , for that matter probably several modded driver cars to beat the snot out of. That's how collectors keep the collector cars pristine, they have other toys to get the need for speed out on. And they sell / swap them out for new ones too.......

Final judgment. Leave this R for the ones who have more dollars than sense. Give me the R that's maybe been raced a few times, has some bugs in the radiator, a few stone chips on the front of the hood and has racked up about 60,000-80,000 miles on the odometer. I'd take good care of it, but I'd drive it every chance I had.

Patrick

Why choose an R code at all unless you actually do have investment in your mind somewhere?

To drive something unique that has a great philosophy behind it.

Patrick

Pfffff. I'd rather have a radio....

No way. If I had this car, it'd have 20,000 miles on it by Xmas - most of them above 4,000rpm.

That's what I talking about!

Now I can see protecting a car from the elements (salt, snow and some rain) and maybe not use it as an "everyday car" but to store it away as some sort of artwork is a joke, IMO. Life's too short, enjoy the/ your ride.
