Join Us for Moochfest, Saturday February 18th!

The annual winter tradition of Moochfest is back!  It was only 14 years ago that I found myself hanging out on a Saturday morning with a handful of Factory Five customers when someone mentioned that it was Valentine’s Day and here we were talking cars.  I guess since I was hosting, the guys figured I could at least buy them some pizza.  And so this winter tradition of Moochfest began.

With our cars and show & event truck out west almost since SEMA, the west coast customers have had a chance to get a good look at our all-new Gen 3 Daytona Coupe and also our all-new steel body ’33 Hot Rod. After SEMA, we attended the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, AZ and then the following weekend, we went to the Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona, CA.

The good news is the truck will be back this weekend in time for a modest get-together on February 18th… so, if you want to get a good look at the new Coupe and the all-steel ’33, they will be here for the Moochfest which is back on.

The event is open to everyone, there is no registration needed, and all you have to do is show-up! We’ll have donuts this year instead of pizza. This event is a great time to start planning for spring. I look forward to seeing you here at Factory Five!
