Jason,
1993 was the last year for the Fox body and the first year for the SVT Cobra. Most people would say that the 93 cobras were the high-water mark for the beloved Fox; although some say the 84-86 SVO's held their own.

I sold my father-in-law's all original 33k mile 1993 Cobra within the last year and I deeply regret it. It is a fun car. I would like to get a 1993 Cobra R but I'm not in the mood to pay $45-55k for a fox body.

MK2-gt, thanks
torrie, you should get one, its like a time machine we were talking about! I felt like I was 17 when I sat in it
sinovac, wow 33k, it must have been cleeeeeeeeeeean. I know what you mean I really wanted a 93 saleen with factory supercharger, they are almost impossible to find, I think they only made 25 in 93 with factory sc. and the price would be over 30k easy,
however I had no idea a 93 cobra R would go as much as 55K?? what were they new?

The car was very nice. Absolutely stock except for new tires and battery. The R was $25,XXX. I was only a couple years out of law school and didn't have 2 nickels to rub together but I wanted an R badly. People forget the 5.0 Fox bodies were the first of the new muscle cars and made a huge impact on the car scene. They were manna from heaven after the 1972-1981 dark ages.

Yes 93r's are in that range, there are 107 of them. Was great to talk to Neil ressler at the rally about these cars. He said 107' was because of course they were over promised by dealers, BUT, he bought the front brakes basically at retail, and he bought 107 sets. So when gone..... Gone..... Could not build any more with out brakes. There is one listed on a trader now for 75k. There is a dealer in VA with 2 that I talked to, 50's were the number. I hope someday to have all 3 r's, I started with the 2000.
And your car looks awesome !!!!

yes, your car is one clean 93:thumbsup and these cars(fox bodies) were instrumental in starting the hp scene and muscle era in the late 80's after the government had all but killed the car hobby in the 70' and early 80's. its great to see these cars looked after, I grew up in fox bodies, had one right after high school and all through college and grad school and even a little after and finally now again
