This site is dedicated to the restoration and preservation of 1960's and '70's Musclecars. I will answer any and all questions about what is original, and what are "Period Correct" modifications.

Factory Five has cool replicas.....
Factory Five racing sells some awesome kit cars. My two favorites are the Shelby Cobra replica and the '33 Ford coupe hot rod. Both use '87-2004 Mustang suspension, and the frames can be setup for either a small-block Chevy, Small-block Ford or 4.6 / 5.4 Ford mod motor. The complete kits with everything except engine and tranny run $19,000. So for 25K you could have an awesome machine that will humiliate 100K sports cars in a drag race or the twisties, and has a vintage look. Since the cars only weigh 2,100 lbs, with a mild 345 hp Ford 302 crate engine Hot Rod magazine ran 4 second 0-60 times and 12 flat 1/4 miles. And they pulled something like .096g on the skidpad-that's Corvette and Porsche Cayman territory. To me their a screaming bargain-theres no way you could get "real" Shelby Cobra or '33 Ford for 25K. Something to think about. Mastermind
