this seems like a great price if it's complete. why green and yellow, though? everybody got their own tastes and I sure have done some dumb sh1t over the years, but you gotta know you might want to sell this thing some day. blue/white, grey/black or even green with white stripes ???

That's about the cheapest you can build one for. Might be an early FFR car. Factory Five is currently selling their 4th generation roadster. Each generation has incorporated design changes / improvements in the mechanicals and also the quality of the body shells.

I built a Factory Five roadster with a buddy years ago, and the kits are pretty well engineered. If you're going to drive / enjoy the car and not just let it sit in the garage, a Factory Five is the way to go. Tons cheaper than other kits ( Superformance, ERA, LoneStar, Backdraft, etc. ), and very reliable and streetable due to the Mustang running gear. A stock fox 5.0 in a Factory Five will easily run the quarter mile in the high 12's. Toss in a nice 393 stroker and look out!!!

When i restored CSX-2575 it had a Allied glass roadster body installed back in late 1966 the body was on till i restored it in 1998 and installed a 289 Aluminum FIA body.
I bought the Allied and duped the original 289 Cobra chassis but went double wishbone instead of transverse leaf spring. I found out later it's one of three Allied slabside known to exist!
