FFR ‘33 Earns Top 10 at Barrett-Jackson Northeast!

Posted on June 23, 2016 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

BestProducts.com named the Factory Five ’33 Hot Rod built by the crew at Tasca Ford as one of “The 10 Rarest and Fastest Cars Headed for Barrett-Jackson Northeast”!

The Tasca-built Hot Rod has been driven by Funny Car drag racer Bob Tasca and also John Force. The car has a supercharged 625 HP Ford Racing 5.0L engine. The car was shown at SEMA 2010 in the Ford Racing booth, and is now being auctioned at the 2016 Barrett-Jackson Northeast event. Click here to read the post from BestProducts.com.

Day 1 report from Barrett-Jackson is that they sold out the event with more 17,000 ticket sales! The impressive thing about that number is that it is on a Thursday and not on Friday or Saturday when the most traffic is expected.

Above & Below: The crew from Factory Five has brought along our award-winning ’33 Hot Rod, 20th Anniversary Mk4 Roadster, and our GTM Supercar that debuted in the KONI Shocks booth at SEMA 2014.
