    For Sale: Factory Five Racing Mk4 Roadster #7750. Sold and Delivered

    *** #7750 is SOLD ***

    Today I am officially offering my Mk4 Roadster for sale. This is all new non-donor build. The kit was purchased September, 2012 as a base kit with multiple added options. Completed February, 2015. It has been driven for two seasons with 3,288 miles on the odometer. All street cruising. Never raced. It is in absolutely mint condition and could easily pass as brand new. This was my second FFR build. It has high quality parts throughout, multiple custom features and options, and is an absolute blast and pleasure to drive. There are no known issues. Titled in Michigan as a 2015 Assembled Roadster, clear title. I didn’t build it to sell. But with retirement I wanted to build another. The just completed 20th Anniversary Roadster is about to be legal, and we are a one Roadster family. I truly hate to see it go. But a deal is a deal.

    Highlights: Custom built DART 347 stroker engine, TKO600 transmission, Gordon Levy 5-link rear suspension, GAS-N stainless steel side pipes, Wilwood pedal box, Wilwood 4-wheel disk brakes, Fast Freddie's Fabrications Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering kit on steering and hydroboost brakes, chassis and 100% of all panels gloss black powder coated, Lizard Skin heat and sound insulation in cockpit and trunk, Wurth SKS Stone Guard on underside of body, FFR carpet in cockpit with additional sewn edging, Bentley carpet in trunk, Infinity/Alpine/Polk Audio sound system with remote, FFR Halibrand style 5-lug 17-inch wheels, Nitto 555 Extreme tires, 255 front, 315 rear, custom show quality candy red paint by Motor City Solutions, custom badging. Completely detailed and serviced. Starts instantly and runs great. Ready to roll.

    This build won first place in the 2015 Detroit Autorama Hand Built Sports class. It won Best in Show at the 2015 Factory Five Open House in Wareham. It has multiple contest wins and best in show awards. But it isn’t a trailer queen. It’s a driver and it just doesn’t get better than this. If you’re looking for a high end build and don’t want to spend the time, this is for you. You can be confident in the build quality. I fully documented the build here: http://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showt...rogress-Update

    Asking $55,000. A build with this content and quality would be more for parts alone, not including labor, if you could find it. I will deliver via covered trailer in the Michigan/Ohio/Indiana/Illinois area. Further distance negotiable. I can be reached here on the forum. PM with questions or for contact info. Additional details and pictures below.
