This Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R shows 306 miles and is #55 of 107 race-oriented factory specials produced for the 1993 model year. Purchased by its first owner from Bob Williams Ford in Wisconsin, the car was also owned by dealers in North Carolina and Chicago before being acquired in 2016 by the selling dealer, who has since kept it with a collection of other late-model performance Mustangs. Power is from an SVT-tuned 5.0L V8 paired with a strengthened T5 gearbox and a limited-slip differential, and the body is finished in Vibrant Red over Opal Grey cloth. The battery and starter are said to have been replaced, and the removed original components are included. This Cobra R is offered in Florida with a window sticker and other documentation, a clean Carfax report, and a Wisconsin title.

The Fox-platform Cobra R was offered in the hatchback body style for 1993 only, with each example featuring a Vibrant Red Clearcoat finish as well as a special hatch spoiler, grille, rear bumper cover, and slick-top roof. Just 107 vehicles were offered to licensed amateur and professional racers through select Ford dealers. This example retains grease pencil markings and a purchase sticker in the passenger-side window. Photographs showing VIN tags and paint depth readings from around the body can be seen in the gallery below.

Cobra badging adorns the front fenders, and fog lamps were deleted to accommodate brake cooling ducts for the factory 13″ Kelsey Hayes vented disc rotors. The Cobra R was specified with a lower ride height over stiffer progressive-rate springs, custom-valved Tokico dampers, front and rear sway bars, and black 17″ wheels wearing 245/45 Goodyear Eagle ZR45 tires.

Protective wrappings cover the manually-adjusted Opal Grey cloth seats and steering wheel. The Cobra R weighed approximately 450 pounds less than the regular production 5.0-liter Mustang thanks in part to the omission of audio equipment, power locks and windows, air conditioning, a rear seat, and sound deadening from the factory.

Instrumentation includes a 140-mph speedometer, supplementary gauges, and a 5-place odometer showing 306 miles. Approximately three miles are said to have been added under current ownership.

The 5.0L Windsor V8 was tuned by Ford’s Special Vehicle Team to produce 235 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque when new. A heavy-duty radiator, oil and power steering fluid coolers, and a strut tower brace were equipped from the factory. The battery and starter have been replaced, and the removed original parts also included in the sale. The radiator support has been autographed by former SVT lead engineer Neil Ressler, with a photo of the signing provided in the gallery below.

A strengthened Borg Warner T5 transmission sends power to a 3.08:1 Traction-Lok rear differential, and power-assisted steering was specified from the factory. Additional underbody images can be viewed in the gallery.

Literature includes paperwork from SVT as well as certificates signed by Edsel Ford II, Tom Scarello, and O.J. Coletti identifying this car as #55 of 107. A blank customer acknowledgement form and Cobra R parts lists can be seen below.

The original window sticker remains mounted to the car and shows a 1993 MSRP of $25,693. The accident-free Carfax report contains limited data and is shown in the gallery.

The seller has provided a video showing cold and warm starts, a walk-around, and driving demonstration.
