MP The 1993 Cobra R's were not street legal. The 1995s were street legal, and those built in 2000 I think were street legal. (with the possible exception of in CA) The only Cobras built in 2002 (100?) were converted to right-hand drive and sold in Australia. They were otherwise regular Cobras, not Rs. rd >> are the cobra r cars street legal? i had a guy tell me they where not. i >> think these where only built in 2002. and all where red i think? i know [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > The 1993 Cobra R's were not street legal.

I tried to order a '93 R and the dealer told me it was a competition vehicle for off road use only and could not registered for plates. I took this to mean that there was not a proper emissions certification. The dealer may have been blowing smoke. (My area requires all vehicles newer than 1974 to be emissions tested every year.) Aren't plates needed for a car to be considered street legal ? rd >> > > The 1993 Cobra R's were not street legal. >> > Since when? What about the 93 R code made it not street legal?

So I wouldn't rely on them for any facts like that... > (My area requires all vehicles newer than 1974 to be emissions tested > every year.) > > Aren't plates needed for a car to be considered street legal ? > > rd > > > > The 1993 Cobra R's were not street legal. > > > Since when?

Yes, they were legal in all 50 states. > I tried to order a '93 R and the dealer told me it was a competition > vehicle > for off road use only and could not registered for plates. > I took this to mean that there was not a proper emissions > certification. > The dealer may have been blowing smoke. RD, What he was explaining, by twisting the story, was Ford's marketing BS. Ford tried to make the R models "special" by restricting their sales to "racers". And then limited their production to super-low, asinine numbers so they could ask ridicules prices for them. The fact is the R models were all fully emission/street legal. (Note: The '93 Rs also had the same exact horsepower as the standard issue '93 Cobras.) Patrick '93 Cobra >>>> The 1993 Cobra R's were not street legal. >>> Since when?
