This is your chance to own a unique Factory Five Racing Cobra.  There are a number of aspects to this car that make it special and most desirable.  First, the paint job.  Most Cobra's are painted blue with white stripes or silver with blue stripes etc.  The owner and builder of this car decided to go with a rich Mercedes Black complemented by a subtle and most beautiful shadow graphic completed in a reddish hue.  This car is absolutely stunning and made more so by the fact that it is so unique in appearance.  The second decision made that makes this car desirable was the choice of engine.  Many FFR Cobras are fitted with big block gas guzzlers that certainly fit the bill but do not make the car particularly "drivable",  These cars are typically more noisy, vibrate to a far greater degree and are overall, more difficult to drive.  This car was built to be driven - not raced, driven - and as such was fitted with a smaller 5.0 liter Ford Mustang motor (the same windsor motor/block used in the original 289 cu in vintage AC Cobra).  It was rebuilt when installed, runs perfectly, is far better on gas and the car is without a doubt, drivable by any member of the family.

This is a lot of car that was built to perfection.  We have the complete build specs and a spreadsheet of everything that was purchased to build the car.  The parts to build the car alone totaled $27,000.  The owner/builder estimates that at least 1,000 hours of time and effort were required during the build and an appraisal done in April 2009 says, verbatim, "This vehicle is in excellent condition.  It has been built to maximum professional standards of quality in every area, or perfect with components operation or appearing as new.  This vehicle is not driven.  A similar vehicle in national show judging, will likely win top honors in its class".  Now that is a nice assessment.

The Factory Five name is arguably representative of one of (if not) the best Cobra replicas available.  The owner is itching to start on another FFR build of a more exotic car.  Therefore, this one is looking for a new home with an owner who will appreciate it's beauty and its ride.  Interested parties please call Paul at 866.426.4480 to set up an appointment to see the car.

THIS CAR IS LOCATED IN BEVERLY FARMS MA.

FFR Roadster Background Information:

The original FFR Roadster was based on the innovation of using running gear from a single modern donor vehicle, the high performance Mustang. The Mustang running gear was chosen for a number of reasons, but mostly because of high performance relative to cost and ready availability of parts through dealers. The earlier Mustang 302 V-8 is exactly the same block that powered the original vintage AC Cobra and Ford GT-40 to World Championships in the 60’s. Over a million Mustangs were built between 1987 and 2004 and the performance after-market for these parts is well established.

The donor car path is not the only way to build an FFR Roadster. The remaining mechanical parts can be purchased new or used from a variety of sources. The kit has been modified to accommodate a variety of engine, drive-train, and suspension choices. Over half of the Factory Five customers today build their kit using engine/drivetrain parts from a donor Mustang, whereas the remainder elect to buy all new parts or a combination thereof.[2] Jim Youngs, the founder and editor of Kit Car Builder, says the Factory Five Cobra is the country's bestselling kit car.
