This an extremely well thought out and extremely sanitary build. No money was spared, I've had a bunch of pretty nice cars and has my girlfriend. The amount of attention this car gets is unbelievable. If you want something that you rarely see and that no everyone has, this may be the right car for you! See below.
GTM Gen II was acquired in 2016 and the build was completed late in 2018. It was assembled and completed by a professional shop.
The car is based on a tubular frame chassis (this is the Gen II that came out in 2012. So any issues with the Gen I where perfected and modified for the Gen II's), and the composite body is finished in yellow over a black interior (had thoughts of wrapping the car in a different color. I am not a fan of yellow). Power is provided by a mid-mounted GM Crate 6.2-liter LS3 V8 paired with a new Mendeola SDR5 five-speed manual transaxle for maximum horsepower (not a Porsche transaxle), and additional equipment includes a custom roof scoop, carbon fiber rocker panels, 18″ wheels, C5 Corvette-sourced braking and suspension components, a Kooks exhaust system, air conditioning, a Pioneer multimedia receiver, and more as detailed below. This Factory Five GTM is now offered with build records and a clean Arkansas title listing the car as a 1964 Ford GT coupe. This is not a donor car. Everything is BRAND new on the car. Either bought from GM or directly from the manufacture.
The bodywork is composed of aluminum and composite panels over a high-strength steel space frame chassis with an integrated six-point roll cage and contoured roof bars. This Car is finished in yellow with a black vinyl stripe and is fitted with optional carbon fiber rocker panels as well as a functional roof scoop. Additional equipment includes aluminum VRaptor Speedworks louvers, fog lights, and a rear carbon diffuser.
Staggered 18″ Forgestar wheels measure 9″ wide up front and 12″ in the rear and are wrapped in Nitto tires sized 245/40 and 335/30, respectively. The General Motors-sourced suspension features custom adjustable coil overs with Koni dampers, and braking is handled by C6 Corvette calipers over vented and cross-drilled rotors (front and back). 6 piston calipers I have also installed high performance dustless break pads.
The cabin is finished in black with yellow trim on the center console. Fixed-back black leather seats feature suede inserts and STV Motorsports five-point harnesses, and additional features,
A Vintage Air heating and air conditioning system, power windows, Factory Five-branded floor mats, and a 6.2″ Pioneer DVD receiver with door-mounted speakers. With backup camera, Bluetooth and touchscreen for easy use.
A three-spoke steering wheel on an adjustable steering column fronts a carbon fiber bezel housing Factory Five-branded instrumentation that includes a 200-mph speedometer and an 8k-rpm tachometer, along with gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The digital odometer shows just under 1,900 miles.
The mid-mounted 6.2-liter LS3 V8 crate engine is paired with a Mendeola SDR5 five-speed manual transaxle. A custom wiring harness was supplied by SMC Performance of Auburn Hills, Michigan and additional electrical wiring was provided by Painless Performance Products of Fort Worth, Texas. A Kooks stainless steel headers and exhaust system exits from either side of the license plate.
The battery, master cylinders (Wilwood set up including break pedals), (Vintage air extreme) air conditioning components, and a Dewitts radiator with twin electric fans are located under the ducted composite hood. An eight-minute narrated video provided below details the equipment and includes in-car driving footage. Alot of attention and detail was put into this cooling system with oversized radiator and fans.
I purchased the vehicle for my Girlfriend and after 3-4 times of driving it she felt cluster phobic in the car. She has had some pretty exotic cars and said this car drove and handled better than any other car she had. We both agree on that. We also both agreed the car "floated on air".
I had over 36 cars and sold a bunch and not really interested in trades but if you have something you can text me at 501-844-0000.
