Steve Temple Shoots Mk4 Following the 2011 SEMA Show

After photographing George Robitaille’s ’33 Hot Rod that was featured at the SEMA Show this year, Steve Temple shot photos of the Factory Five Mk4 Roadster, which was also on display at SEMA. These photos were taken in the Nevada Desert in bright sunlight. Look for a full gallery and complete details in an upcoming issue of Kit Car Builder Magazine.

This Factory Five Mk4 Roadster is powered by a 5.0L Coyote engine with a Ford Racing Boss intake, and runs FFR’s 17″ Halibrand Style Vintage Wheels. Other details include Autometer Vintage gauges, front and rear bumper sets, and 3-link rear suspension with performance Wilwood brakes and upgraded double adjustable shocks. This car is owned by FFR President Dave Smith and will debut soon on an upcoming episode of MuscleCar TV.

Kit Car Builder Magazine will feature full details on this car in their upcoming article. Also covered will be performance numbers against an original 1965 C-car as part of an episode of MuscleCar TV that was filmed at Charlotte Raceway.
