The Factory Five Racing Type 65 Coupe features fiberglass bodywork over a jig-welded tube frame, and this third-generation example is finished in silver with center stripes and “27” graphics. Further exterior details include a bullet-style mirror, headlight covers, sail scoops, front and rear tow hooks, a rear spoiler, and black-finished side-exit exhaust outlets. A ceramic insulation material was applied to the body, per the seller.
Halibrand-style 18″ pin-drive wheels are mounted with Falken Azenis tires measuring 265/35 up front and 315/30 out back. The independent front and rear suspension features Koni coilovers and sway bars. Stopping power is provided by Wilwood six-piston front and four-piston rear brake calipers over slotted and cross-drilled rotors.
The cabin houses a pair of MOMO Super Cup competition seats trimmed in black upholstery. The aluminum panels are said to be lined with sound-deadening material, and additional equipment includes Schroth multi-point racing harnesses, a Joes Racing shift ball, a Wilwood pedal assembly, and an MSD Powersports digital shift light.
The MOMO three-spoke steering wheel is mounted on a quick-release hub, and instrumentation includes a 180-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer indicates 222 miles.
The 347ci small-block Ford V8 was purchased as a crate engine from Blueprint Engines and is equipped with a K&N air cleaner, finned black-finished valve covers, tubular headers, and an aluminum radiator with an electric fan. An oil change was last performed in 2022.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Tremec TKO600 five-speed manual transmission. The Coupe-R kit features a full-cage competition chassis powder-coated in white. Additional underside images are presented in the gallery below.
A set of four 18″ Halibrand-style wheels mounted with Hoosier R7 tires are included in the sale. Service records and spare parts will also accompany the car.
Photos documenting various stages of the build are viewable in the image gallery.
