Winner of the Most Innovative Design Award at Factory Five’s Open House 2015.
This is a Factory Five 33 HotRod, Designed to look like a 33 Ford but handle like a race car. It was finished in 2015 and has less than 100 test miles on it. I am the original owner/Builder and it is ready to register in your state.
The interior: The interior is bare bones as I could get it. The dash has 6 Autometer gauges and a start button. I wanted it to look as simple as possible. There is no clutter of switches or knobs. The lights all turn on when you start the car. A wireless key fob in your pocket is all you need when you jump in to press the start button. The seats are from a Mazda Miata and are the only used parts on the entire car. The low back Factory Five seats will be included but are not as comfortable.
Some more details about interior:
· Miata black bucket seats
· Painted dash with Autometer gauges (tachometer, speedometer, oil pressure, water temp, fuel level, battery voltage)
· Digital Guard Dog Security system with key fob. Key fob needs to be within 10’ of car to start it
· Sound dampening and sound proofing throughout cockpit
· Black carpet throughout
· Real 8 Ball Shifter
· Leather E-brake and Shift boot
The engine: The engine is a 4.6 Ford DOHC. It was purchased new and was on a crate from Ford, and was a NOS (New Old Stock) replacement. Designed as the focal point of my build I wanted a modern engine that looked like an old Hemi. The factory fuel injection system was removed and replaced with a complete custom system. A sheet metal intake manifold was designed and built to accept custom made EFI throttle bodies. The throttle bodies were built specially for this car. They are billet aluminum and designed to look like Holley 390 carburetors and topped with a Hilborn style scoop air cleaner. The ignition is controlled by an MSD MOD6 ignition box and the EFI is controlled by a FAST ECU.

Exterior: The exterior is designed to be simple and show off the massive Ford DOHC engine. The front body mounts were cut off, and the grill laid back as far as it would go. The fiberglass body forward of the firewall was chopped off and designed to get all the attention the engine is front and center. The side panels and hood were sacrificed to smooth out the body and fill the body lines where they would normally be. The Atomic Orange Paint is blends things together and the 18” front and 20” rear Boyd Coddington Wheels set off the rest of the package.
