Pics of '33 Ford kit from Factory Five for $19,990
 
Weighs 2000 lbs probably tuned right could get 35 mpg with a small V8! Top is $1700 extra I read and comes with power windows added.

On FF's website there's a vid of their nasty sounding 'demo' doing an autocross.

Flash68 09-13-2008 04:42 PM

That is sweet!

Here's the difference I like over their Cobra 'replicant'.:cool:

The builder doesn't need a donor car, but rather "its a complete kit with all-new parts save for running gear."

I love that.. maybe after the camaro is finished i could do one of these.

to bad its not set up for a LSX setup or small block chevy.. I know its a ford, but I love these ls motors.

I wouldn't be surprised if more LS motors go in them them Fords.

But I also think a 4 cammer Ford might grow on once you hear that one in the vid in FF's version of a '33.

You could always build their GSM super car instead that *is* setup for an LSX

The 4 cammers with the blowers are really becoming cool for a retrofit. my problem with them is how wide they are . Makes it hard to work on.

the supercar..:hail: :D

Well said. :thumbsup:

From those building 'em they said the wheelbase is 112".

I wonder what the total $ it would cost to build one. All the extras that the kit doesn't come with. Cause that thing is just so bad a$$. I also wonder how a 6'+ tall person would feel sitting in that thing. Looks small but might not be.

FF says a home builder should be able to keep it just under $40K. In the link below a builder said they could do one with air and a top for about $50K.

I'm gathering 6 footers will have enough room. After all wheelbase is 22 inches longer than the FF Cobra replica.

After seeing this I want old school!
 
Nice look, huh?

I'm not saying using tires that skinny but IMHO the car has a 'rich' feel to it. I'd buy some hi speed rated lower profile tires and have Diamond Back put some semi wide white stripes on 'em. I like the roof treatment also. Something to be said for lack of a hood.:cool:
