You are correct as the 2000 Cobra R's were not treated in the same manner as was the case for the launch of the original 107 Cobra R's from 1993.I believe by 2000 ford had given up on making you have a race license. I bought mine from the original owner and im pretty sure he didnt.
I was at the Ford nationals last weekend and there was a race red GT350R next to a 2000R and that was the first time I ever saw them next to each other. The 350R makes the 2000R look dated.
Back in 2000 I made many trips to Bobby Jones Ford in Augusta, Georgia as they had a Cobra R sitting on their showroom floor for quite some time with an asking price of $75,000.
For many weeks we courted each other and went back and forth on pricing but at the end of the day they would not move on this vehicle therefore I moved on and had Sean Hyland Motorsports build me a highly modified 2001 Mustang GT.
As far as requiring a competition license to purchase the vehicle at Bobby Jones Ford that did not come into play and in fact a friend of mine who purchased his 2000 Cobra R new in Florida and still has it to this day has never come close to having a competition license.
