1995 Ford SVT Cobra R Back in the heydays of the Ponycar era, Ford made a very limited quantity of performance versions of its Mustang to compete in various forms of automotive events. These performance versions, called "R" model Mustangs, were something special. They offered upgraded handling, braking, lighter weight, and, of course, engine power. Today, these Cobra R models are highly sought after and increasingly rarer collector cars. They are examples of the Mustang taken to its best performance, and as such, they command a high dollar in the collector car market. It was with great enthusiasm to many when Ford’s Special Vehicle Team (SVT) revealed it would once again offer a new limited-run 1995 Cobra R. In addition to all the special performance upgrades the car would receive, the biggest news was the engine. For the first and last time in since 1973, the Mustang would feature a 351ci (5.8L) pushrod engine beating under its hood, and that has that legendary Ford V8 sound at idle and while driving which reminds us of the performance days of the late 1960s mated to modern technology. The fully EPA-certified electronically fuel-injected Windsor V8 power levels were said to exceed 300 hp and 360 tq. The reserve price is much less than the buy-it-now so my guess is your best offer may trigger the reserve. Simply submit your best offer as a bid.

I did some reading on this; back in 1995 fuels didn't contain ethanol so more total advance timing could be originally programmed into the engine computer. This thoughtful retune which reduces total timing to modern fuel standards adds longevity to the engine components for street driving while also raising performance and maintaining Pennsylvania Vehicle Emissions standards (so it's a very sustainable tune suited for daily street driving).
