Kurt and Karl Gess developed a passion for cars like many other young boys do, spending some evenings and weekends in the garage working on cars with Dad. But mostly they spent that time sharing in his passion for airplanes, building and flying airplanes before they even learned to drive a car.

They also had their share of muscle cars during their teen years including a 1971 Chevelle SS 396 Convertible, a 1969 Mach I Mustang and a 1969 GTO Judge. Since then they’ve had Vettes, Mustangs, and Motorcycles.

They’re just a couple of guys that have a love for cool cars and fast transportation.

They built their first FFR Roadster (FFR1109K) in the winter of 96-97, and that’s the one they still drive regularly.  Since then we have built over a dozen Roadsters and have been involved in helping other clients with rolling chassis, paint work, and other miscellaneous projects relating to all aspects of the build of Factory Fives.  "We always have a car (or three) in process in our shop, and we welcome people to swing by and visit at any time."

Gess Motorsports opened in the summer of 1998, quietly building one Roadster after another, controlling growth and increasing quality with every build.  It’s still a part time operation, but their list of (extremely) satisfied customers will assure you, that it was definitely worth the wait.  Kurt and Karl take pride in working closely with each customer to ensure the finished car is exactly what was desired, and is built with the passion that any skilled craftsman has for his art and trade.
