Questions to ask your uncle. Why is he buying it? An investment? Is it going to be kept in a garage? Driven sporadically on sunny days? If that's why he's buying it I say go for it! Limited production car- only 250 of them produced!
On the otther hand, let's assume he's buying it as a daily driver. No air conditioning. No stereo. No sound deadening. No back seat. Cloth interior. Sure, he can put all the aforementioned amenities in but at a premium! It's straight line performance is comparable to the 2003 and 2004 Mach1 in the quarter mile. You can get a 2003 Cobra for around 25,000 and have all the creature comforts plus all the power that a supercharged v8 carries with it.
My answer to your question depends on the reasons he is considering buying it. Just my take on it. Anyone else out there with a different perspective?

Buy it! Resell it for 40k and buy a 03 cobra.

How about more info? Such as shape, mileage, legit or clone? 1 of 250 is very rare, but its performance is not to par to what has been made available in the last few years from Ford.

If performance was a factor I would pass on it for an '03 - '04 low miles Mach 1 or Cobra. If exclusivity is the main reason, you uncle will be making an excellent choice.

Is it white with black interior or white with black/camel interior?

at first i wanted him 2 get a 03-04 cobra but he wanted the cobra R.i think the main thing is he wants a car that is the same as his 65 shelby but 30 years ahead.

Real 95 R interior parts stink. All they are is basic GT and V6 parts. The R didn't even have most interior parts. gone for weight loss. The only money maker would be the wheels.

So what happened to the deal? Did he buy it? That is a good deal. The 95 Rs are hard to come by. Keep us posted
