    (2) F5R 818 for sale. What is your flavor?

    SOLD....SOLD .....I am putting both up for sale. Whichever sells.... I will keep the other. Both cars were professionally built by Tom Wallace and both builds were fully documented on this forum. Lots of add-ons on this car, beautiful paint, soft top, oversized turbo.....

    1). Award wining 818s (will be at the open house).
    Beautifully painted, top quality show.
    All the carbon bits and pieces, rockers, splitter, diffuser...ect.
    K shifter
    XXR wheels
    Soft top
    Engine 2.0 was a rebuild so only about 1500 miles on her.
    Oversized turbo
    Cobb and Grimmspeed add-ons
    Race seats and Harnesses
    Simply put.... well built and very beautiful to look at.



    These are not fires sales just aggressive pricing as I have a new project coming and space is becoming limited (4 cars in a 2 car garage) Be it they are on lifts...but still. Both cars cost more to build then the asking prices. As soon as one sells the ad comes down. I am open to trades too..... if you have something that you think might interest me the worst I can say is no thank you.

    Removed from market...Keeping it......818 #2. If you are looking to own an 818 but do not have the time to turn a wrench, limited space to build or you just want instant gratification this one is for you. Customize to your liking, pick a color and make it your own. Pro-built so you can trust it, add your final touches and you have a little rocket for the summer 2015. Add the new hard top and a paint/wrap and you have an all weather car for roughly the same price as the orange 818 above. Both cars though similar are very different. As I said...pick your flavor.

    Here is what this one is.....

    Donor build with 83K miles on 2002 donor (new clutch, timing belt and accessories all replaced).
    F5R upgrade steering wheel
    Also has carbon defusser and splitter.
    Body work professionally completed and ready for wrap or paint.
    High-end aftermarket seats.
    Very nice stereo with hidden sub under dash.
    Back up camera
    Ruff racing wheels with new tires.
    Wired and prepared for seat heaters
    Cup holder
    USB and lighter plug/charger
    Wiper kit installed
    trunk kit
    Rear carbon spoiler
    Professionally tuned by SMG (tuned to be a very safe but a very fun toy)

    Again very well built and wonderful to look at. Will make a fantastic addition to ones car collection.

    You cannot build either one of those for that kind of money.

    Anyone looking for a 818 you can't go wrong with either one of these. I have seen them both. The build quality is top notch.

    How about a Spec Racer Ford? Thinking of retiring from racing.

    Ordered the hardtop today. For 25k someone can buy the white one with the hardtop, glass and power windows installed...paint or wrap ready.

    Figured I would just throw that out there.

    So the orange 818 was voted as best 818 in show yesterday at the Factory Five Open House (though I felt the award belonged to another car) many beautiful 818 were there. But the judges thought the Orange 818 was the best. So come make "Best 818 2015" yours. 25k is a bargain, now is the time to join the family.

    Congrats Jim! My coupe did the same down here last week. I am still hoping to win the lottery so I can buy it back. LOL.

    BTW how did you get all 3 cars there?

    Ugh! Such a deal and I want one, but just bought something else. I need to stop looking at this. I'm torturing myself.
    I hope you get a buyer soon.

    Anyone planing on buying an 818 kit should buy one of these cause you can't touch them for these prices if you do it yourself.

    Really amazed no one is biting, I would have easily

    I have seen both of these cars in person very well built cars. I also am surprised no one wants one of them.

    Like what has been said can't build one for those prices.

    I'm really surprised there isn't any interest. Makes me wonder what the used value of the 818 will be in a few years when there are a lot of them out there. Maybe I can pick one up for 10K.
    I can do anything with enough time and money.

    I think the problem is not many people know what they are yet.

    I have to say I am surprised too. With the performance envelopes of these cars, coupled with the fact these are not only track demons but they can be very docile/usable on the streets (throw it in 5th and putt around town at less the 2000rpm) I am shocked one or both of these has not found a home. Both of these cars have much more invested then the asking prices (not even including the labor to build them). The white one is an exception value, OEM harness means OBD2 port and a emission compliant car. One can still buy the white one and make it their own, their paint, their interior, their custom touches and the orange one is down right beautiful for someone that wants to jump in and drive a car that has won national awards.

    Well hopefully a Buyer sees the value and can get to enjoy one of these wonderful cars.

    Try advertising in grass roots motorsports. They have done many articles on the 818. Their subscribers know more about the 818 IMO. I agree they are not known to most car folks. I have lots of car guy friends and none ever heard of the car or what it is. I wish FFR would do a build on power nation with one to get more folks involved in knowing the cars. Both are a great price. Some person will be a lucky owner.

    The 818 in my opinion is a good looking very capable package. It has modern cues and should catch on. It has better performance than the cobra, and pushes at the door of the Gtm. It's modern and pretty much my favorite FFR because it is differnt and current. Prob is I have noticed it's not yet fully excepted by the FFR cobra/ datona / 33 crowd. There awesome cars guys, but there designs are classics, the Gtm and 818 and newer and current and FFR future. A completed 818 should pull 35-40 easy like the Cobras, no reason not to.

    Cobra kit is 20K, 818 kit is 10K. Which kind of supports a -10K for 818's vs Cobra's.

    Wow, what a deal! that orange is absolutely smoking... If I hadn't placed my pre-order for the 818c and wasn't so interested in building my own, I would pounce!

    You could rebuild it your own and make it better, not have to strip a donor etc, I would just order the hardtop and buy it dude, like 40k invested. If I had extra room I would buy it just to sell parts and build a unique 818

    Really no bites, very surprised none of the 818 prospected buyers are not looking into it. For that price I might have to consider since you can't build either for the advertised price.

    Wow! All I can think I'd that there aren't enough people who truly know what the 818 is. After it catches on I believe they will sell like gas on a race day. I'm telling my friends but do far I haven't been able to help you out.
