Garage419: Full Carbon Fiber Ford GT? Ford SVT Headquarters Tour
Recently, one of my favorite web sites has become Jalopnik.com. I find it an entertaining coverage of cars in general and a good way to unwind at the end of the day. An added bonus is that once in a while a story will include a fox body Mustang. Today, that’s not the case but it does link to a pretty cool video of a tour of Ford’s SVT Headquarters.
Jamal Hameedi takes Garage419 on a tour of the SVT headquarters in Dearborn Michigan. We take a look at Cobra R’s over the years, the GT500KR, a hanging Ford GT as well as an all carbon fiber Ford GT and of course all the engines casually laying around the facility.
The tour includes a 2000 Cobra R. I have seen several of these locally and have known they are rare but I guess I never realized just how luckily I have been to see them regularly. The guy from Garage419 stated that he had never seen one! Last year I saw four at a relatively small (150 car) Mustang show at Mustangs Unlimited.
So, if you’re a Ford person (which I think many of you are) I thought you would probably enjoy this video if you have not yet seen it.

Those R cars are awesome. We have a local SVTOA club here and there are 2-2000’s in the club no 95R’s or 93R’s I have been very fond of these rare cars since their inception. The 93 R cars have just gone out of this world in value being that only 107 were ever built. Take care. Chet
Very cool website. Just checked it out and it was neat to see the different areas he had access to.
The story the owner told about the first 2000 Cobra R I saw here back in 2000 was that he won it in a contest. Lucky SOB.
The 2000 R that we have here in town is owned by a guy who let his girlfriend drive it once, she wrecked it and between the front splitter, 2 fenders the hood and the front bumper cover he had over 12k in fixing it. What a shame. It looks good now though.
