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.
