Last year, two Factory Five cars built by the foundation debuted at the SEMA Show 2021. The Mk4 Roadster was sold last year at Mecum Auctions for $110,000. Now the Type 65 Coupe, (seen in these photos) sold on Bring a Trailer for $137,500 with all proceeds going to benefit young cancer victims at Austin Hatcher Foundation!

The builds are overseen and nut & bolted by automotive professionals, and some parts of the build were completed by partner automotive professionals in their shop.
