Undisputed Lord of Internal Combustion

 

There were just six original Coupes built in 1965.  Despite the fact that the design never entered production, those six cars won the 1965 World Championship for America.  In addition to its racing heritage, the Coupe is one of the most unique and stunning shapes in automotive history.  The only words we have to describe the way the car looks as it drives by is dramatic. 

 

When a Coupe drives past, everything stops… Little kids cover their ears, old ladies frown, and every real car guy everywhere share a thumbs-up salute to a genuine lord of internal combustion excess. 

 

We are building these cars in a quasi-religious sense, aware that this model, apart from everything we build at Factory Five, is special.  Each Factory Five Type 65 Coupe is true to the performance charter that gave the design its birth, and yet filled with modern engineering.  If you’re going to build a replica of a 1965 Coupe, 9 times out of 10 you’ll end your search right here. 

 

Our faithful rendition of the 1965 World Championship Winning Type 65 Coupe is not a kit for every one, but it is the only kit for some.
