SEMA Preview 4 of 10: Half Mobile Mk4 Update

Posted on October 30, 2019 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

This year for SEMA, we built an all-new Factory Five half mobile for our best-selling Mk4 Roadster. The car is a running, driving Mk4 with a monster 535 HP 351W/427 engine running on race gas. The car was designed to be a period-correct 427 replica complete with 15″ Halibrand wheels, Goodyear billboard tires, and vintage gauges/interior. The paint is vintage gloss black with Wimbledon White stripes and vintage decals replicating the first 427-powered Cobra driven by Ken Miles at Riverside, CSX 3002.

After SEMA, this car will be in our showroom and part of our road tours at shows and events.

Our two best-selling cars each have a running, driving half mobile demo so that customers can see the chassis internals, wiring, and suspension/plumbing.

The Mk4 Half Mobile is favorite at shows and events.
