Customer Keith Henline’s Type 65 Coupe

In line with the numbers on his car, Customer Keith Henline built his Type 65 Coupe when he was 74 and finished his build at age 76. A first time builder, he had “never done anything like this before”.

For a first time builder he says he was able to figure it out. It’s safe to say he did a spectacular job with the build!

While he drives with earplugs, Keith couldn’t resist putting sound in and metal exhausts. As for the gear-shifter Keith stuck with the standard option, but cut half of it off and had a friend rethread it. With this change, Keith admits he can put just “a little pressure on it and it drops in!”

A couple weeks ago he took out his Type 65 Coupe with a friend, and had a blast. They wound up driving 150 miles to London, Ohio!

Congratulations on your beautiful Type 65 Coupe Keith. We hope you enjoy plenty more miles of smiles!

Some stories come full circle, and Jason K.’s is a great example. Jason bought his first Factory Five Mk1 Roadster, kit #1413, in May 1998 at just 24 years old. He spent a year building it and loved it so much that he even included it in his will for his two sons. He never planned to sell it, but life had other plans. Over the five years he owned it, Jason made plenty of memories, including attending Run & Gun at St. Louis International Speedway in 1998 or 1999.
