Factory Five Customer Garry B.’s Street Challenge Car!

Factory Five customer Garry Bopp has earned a reputation in the Factory Five community for being helpful and building some impressive cars.  Garry’s Type 65 Coupe earned some notable awards here at our summer Open House and also down at Mustangs and Fords Magazine among many.  Last year, Garry converted a Factory Five Challenge race car into a street car.  The car was a little rough, and after driving it for almost a year, he decided to give it a face lift.  Some nice upgrades including a new paint job make the car a real traffic stopper. Congrats on a nice job!


Garry shows the next generation of car builders how its done. Emerald Coast Cruise-In, 2015.


Garry used Sherwin Williams-Factory Five paint Vintage Race Blue with a Desert Sun Yellow Metallic stripe.


Garry upgraded the bare aluminum cockpit of the Challenge Series Racer to an insulated and carpeted street ride.

Garry is planning on taking his car on the 2016 Hot Rod Power Tour!

22Rally Cruise to Factory Five

22Rally is a New England based organization of volunteers who raise funds and awareness for charities. On Saturday, June 6th, 2026, they cruised to Factory Five to check out our demo cars in the showroom and go for a tour of the facility.
