Claimed to be the only Factory Five Daytona built with a 427 big
block engine! Professionally built by Vintage Motorsports, pictures
are on their website. There are also 3 binders of documentation and
photos of the build. In 2012 and 2013 it won best Daytona at
Factory Five's very own open house car show.
Shelby only built 6 original Daytonas. They are practically
unobtainable and if one were to become available, be prepared to
pay several million dollars. Factory Five has designed an accurate
replica that captures the look and feel of the original 200 mph GT
cars but is more reliable and comfortable. FF performs extensive
research and development into their products. The result is a car
that will outperform the original. It's exhilarating, the look, the
sound and the ride!
EXTERIOR: It looks just like the original Daytona with the same
scoops, flairs and sleek design. Its composite body is in excellent
shape; it is straight with no damage. Painted a gorgeous deep blue
metallic and it has a very smooth glossy finish. Painted white over
the top stripes. Period correct racing decals enhance the original
look. Correct covered headlights, taillights, pop up gas cap,
bullet mirrors etc. See those pipes on each side? Wait till you
hear them! It carves up the curves on a set of 17 inch Halibrand
style wheels with Eagle F1 performance tires
INTERIOR: It's no Cadillac, it's a nicely finished racing cockpit!
The aluminum dash, foot wells and console were covered in sound
deadener before they were upholstered and carpeted. The leather
wrapped Moto Lita steering wheel has an easy disconnect so the
wheel can be removed for easier in and out access. Once in the
racing style seats and harness will hold you safely in place. The
dash is home to a full set of Pro Comp gauges and toggle switches.
The console is home to an e-brake and a Hurst shifter.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This is an actual FE 427 big block They started
with an NOS block and gave it a performance build with Edelbrock
aluminum heads and a very cool Borla stacked fuel injection on top
with a Haltech fuel management system. A 3 quart Accusump oil
system keeps it lubricated. It also has an MSD ignition system and
headers that feed the side exhaust. Dressed in finned Cobra valve
covers. It runs cool with a 3 row aluminum radiator, aluminum water
pump and dual electric fans. The engine bay is full of polished
aluminum panels, braided hoses, and premium fittings. After the
video and pictures, I spent $2000 having the car detailed, mostly
in the motor compartment.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Like the original the rear hatch window lifts
open. It is carpeted inside, and the exposed tubular supports are
painted.
UNDERSIDE: Track ready modified chassis with braces and
triangulated supports. Flaming River 16:1 steering with helm joints
and bump steer modification. Upfront is tubular control arms,
coilover adjustable gas shocks, rack & pinion steering. In back is
a 4 link system with adjustable control arms, coilover adjustable
gas shocks and a Watts link. Wilwood brake system with 4 wheel
drilled and slotted disc. Dynalite Pro Series front calipers. Fuel
Safe 22 gallon fuel cell with internal slash box, extreme pro Bosch
fuel pump, stainless lines throughout. Looking up at the motor it
has an 8 quart Canton oil pan and a high torque starter. Heavy duty
scatter shield, Doug Nash 5-speed with hydraulic Center Force
clutch. The rear end is a modified Ford 8.8 with 3.08 posi
gears.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and programmed the fuel gauge and
speedometer. We replaced some missing knobs, fixed the fog lamps,
tightened the steering wheel and fixed the taillights.
This car is pure excitement! The looks, the sound and of course the
performance are awesome. It is legally titled as a 2012 Ford
Cobra.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
