Congratulations to Factory Five Mk3 owner Chris M. on earning Best in Show at the Bristol Motor Speedway Cars and Guitars event! It was the first time Chris had taken his Roadster to an event after purchasing the completed Mk3 earlier this year.
Chris had been dreaming of building a car with his Dad, an old street rodder, for over 40 years. They had been working on their build plans, but then Chris’ Dad passed away. Chris purchased the Mk3 Roadster and is going to be working on it to honor his Dad.
Chris bought from someone who completed a rebuild of this Mk3 Roadster back in 2019. It is powered by a 351 stroker with a Holley Sniper EFI, Tremec 5 speed transmission, optional soft top, and Chris is already planning out some changes of his own like updating the interior with new carpet, adding another gauge, and swapping out the hood pins. He is also putting together some engine mods, but nothing too radical.
Glad you are making your dream a reality, Chris, and welcome to the Factory Five family!
