Manufactured by Factory Five Racing. We have complete build book
including the order form, brochure and receipts. Most people that
own these enjoy an exhilarating ride on the streets although they
are built to such high standards it can be competitive on the
track. The brochure does a great job of explaining the level of
quality that Factory Five puts into these cars. Only 6 originals
were built by Shelby and are worth millions. These are refined
versions of the originals at a fraction of the cost.
EXTERIOR: Hand laid composite body is very faithful to the
original- same scoops, bulges, and shape. Original features include
covered headlights, removable Lexan sliding windows, pop up gas
cap, bullet mirrors and much more. It has the forward tilting hood.
Reproduction 17 inch Halibrand sytle wheels have Kumho performance
tires. Painted Eleanor colors- pepper gray with black metallic
stripes. Smooth glossy finish, stripes are even smooth to the
touch. It has a few chips on the nose. The stainless side exhaust
will let your neighbors know you are home.
INTERIOR: The cockpit is lined with sound deadener and carpeted
with bound edges. Racing style seats with 5 point racing harnesses
keep you in place around the hairpin corners. In front of you is a
matched set of easy to read gauges, quick release cushion grip
wheel and a/c controls. Yes it has air, also upgraded with a very
useful back up camera. It has a touch screen Kenwood stereo system.
The Lokar automatic shifter is made to look like a manual. Overall
excellent condition inside.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: New motor was brand new from GM, we have the
receipt ($9,323). LS-3, 6.2 liter making 430 hp. LS-5 hot cam, Jet
Hot coated headers, $450 ignition system, power steering,
serpentine belt and pulley system, 1 wire alternator etc. It has a
comprehensive cooling system. Fresh air enters through the front of
the car, through a big aluminum radiator and out through a big
opening in the hood. It has a large electric fan, custom made
shroud, an aluminum expansion tank, aluminum airbox and overflow
tank. My overall impression is this is a professionally put
together engine compartment. All the components are modern,
properly installed and clean. Nothing about it looks tacky or 2nd
rate.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Rear window hatch opens up with gas struts. The
carpeted trunk space looks like new.

with modern technology. 4 inch tubular frame, 6 point roll cage,

I drove it home, this car is exciting. You will be looking for
"curves ahead" signs!
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.
