EXAMPLE:
Make/Model: Factory Five/Mark I Roadster
Manufacturers Web Site: http://www.factoryfive.com
Year/Miles: 2001/62,220
Built by/Time to build: self/1.5 years
Engine: FMS392W/420HP
Pros: Build it yourself. Original style tubular frame. Can be built on a budget using Mustang donor or go hog wild with all new parts. use IRS or solid axle rears. Mustang aftermarket performance parts are plentiful. Can accept 289,302,351W or FE carbed or EFI. Large support group available online. Easy and economical to make any improvements or repairs to suite the owner.
Cons: Body shape is off the mark for purists. Some fab skills are helpful. Interior carpeting and dash are on the lower quality scale. Takes some effort to bring the final product close to authenticity.
Comments: No regrets in purchasing this product. As much fun to build as it has been to drive.
