2000 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R – One owner - Performance Red over Dark Charcoal – 1,490 Miles – #13 of Only 300 Produced
Offered by Vault Motorcars, this 2000 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R is finished in Performance Red over a Dark Charcoal interior and shows only 1,490 original miles. This is an investment-grade, collector-level example of one of the rarest and most important modern Mustangs Ford has ever produced — and notably car #13 of only 300 total Cobra R models built worldwide.
The 2000 Cobra R was the only SVT Cobra model offered for the 2000 model year, developed by Ford’s legendary Special Vehicle Team (SVT) as a true street-legal race car. Purpose-built for track performance while remaining road legal, the Cobra R eliminated unnecessary luxury items in favor of capability, creating what many enthusiasts consider the most hardcore naturally aspirated Mustang of the New Edge era.
Powered by the legendary hand-assembled 5.4L DOHC V8 paired with the highly desirable Tremec T-56 6-speed manual transmission, this Cobra R delivers a raw, analog driving experience unlike anything else Ford was building at the time. The Cobra R package included SVT-exclusive cylinder heads, revised camshafts, upgraded cooling systems, a unique high-flow intake manifold, Brembo brakes, Eibach springs, Bilstein dampers, and functional aerodynamic enhancements purpose-built for serious performance driving.
Every Cobra R was finished exclusively in Performance Red and equipped with the signature power-dome hood, functional front brake cooling ducts, front splitter, side skirts, large rear wing, and iconic Borla side-exit exhaust system — giving it one of the most purposeful and aggressive factory appearances of any Mustang ever produced.
Inside, the Cobra R reflects its no-compromise mission with Dark Charcoal Recaro sport seats embroidered with Cobra R logos, white-face gauges, power accessories, and a stripped-down driver-focused layout. In an effort to reduce weight, Ford intentionally deleted air conditioning, rear seats, stereo system, cruise control, and excess sound deadening, all in pursuit of performance.
What truly separates this Cobra R is its ownership history and level of preservation. This is a true one-owner Mustang purchased new by its original owner, a longtime professional involved in NASCAR racing for nearly 30 years. The level of care and stewardship is immediately evident — from the engine bay, to the undercarriage, to the overall presentation of the vehicle. Ownership and upkeep on this Cobra R is simply second to none.
With only 1,490 original miles, this Cobra R presents exactly how a serious collector hopes to find one. Pre-purchase inspections on-site are absolutely welcome, and we are confident in saying you will be hard-pressed to find another Cobra R this nice with these miles.
