Ryan M. Wins with his Gulf Type 65 Coupe

Posted on March 25, 2024 by in What's New

You may remember customer Ryan M. from the recent post we did profiling his stunning Gulf color Factory Five Type 65 Coupe! From Ryan himself:

“Whoa! Major moment for me and Loretta. Got Best In Show at a pretty big car show put on and judged by one of the most respected customs shops in Texas: House of Hot Rods! I was not expecting that at all! Such a huge honor and beat some of the nicest cars I’ve seen. 250 cars total and Loretta took the top prize.

Edit: gotta give Rad Rods of Texas a big shout out for helping me bring this car across the finish line. As an added bonus, they hag another happy Rad Rods of Texas customer get a Top 10 trophy. They know their stuff!”

Congratulations Ryan on your incredible Type 65 Coupe and all of your success. You and your family built an amazing car!
