I finally got to see one in person here locally at Fast Lane Cars. A 1995 SVT Mustang Cobra R with only 4,930 miles on it!
It was missing some things like brake ducts in the fog light holes and a fuel cell. The fuel cell had been replaced with a regular gas tank.
From Ford Performance Website:
1995 SVT Mustang Cobra R
In the wake of the Fox-bodied 1993 SVT Mustang Cobra R’s success, SVT engineers developed a more powerful R-model competition package based on the SN-95-derived 1995 SVT Cobra. SVT replaced the Cobra’s 5.0-liter with a special version of Ford’s 351 cubic-inch Windsor small-block, re-engineered to produce 300 horsepower, and also installed a 20 gallon Fuel-Safe fuel cell. To Handle the torque of the more powerful engine, a Tremec five-speed manual transmission was installed. Again, weight savings was targeted, so there was no back seat, radio, or air conditioning – not even fog lights, which were omitted to provide ducts for getting cool air onto the front brakes. Heavy-duty progressive-rate springs, thicker stabilizer bars and a front strut tower brace helped improve handling on the race track. Only 250 vehicles were built, available only in white, each with a unique center-tiered fiberglass hood tall enough to clear the engine and induction system.
