Factory Five 818S For Sale

[axelthrasher]

Hi All,

I recently got into wheel-to-wheel racing, and don't have time for some of my cars unfortunately. My loss is your gain, as I have put a lot of time, money, and effort into this car. This is a fully built, titled, registered car. This has been professionally tuned and aligned. Car makes 240-250WHP on Mustang Dyno (reads lower than a Dynojet). This is a fantastic and fun summer car that gets A LOT of attention. Since completing my rebuild, I have put about 2000 miles on it at the most - enough to work out any bugs/kinks - but not nearly enough to even have any tire wear.

Price: $old!
Location: Saint Charles, IL 60175

No codes, car has been professionally tuned. Any negative aspects I found I corrected as I went, it's a very clean car to be honest.

I'm a bit of a noob. Is it possible to covert any of the non C 818s to a C? Would it just be a swap of the paneling?

[Erik W. Treves]

yes you can

Yep - Erik beat me to it...

AZPete did this. He can give you some insight on the process.

Much appreciated on the responses. Checked out AZPete, seems like the conversion is relatively straight forward if you can get the body parts. Been lurking for 3+ years, really want to have a C but no time to build. Would have time to convert a complete car like this though.

Any idea on 0-60 time?

And does it have a top or is a top available? Im new to this factory five thing

[Mitch Wright]

Can't answer the 0-60 times on this car but I can say these cars are pretty quick. FFR does offer a soft top or the hardtop/coupe conversion that some have done.

[flynntuna]

Road and track has an article on the 818. You can find it in FFR's website. It has specs on 0-60, 1/4 mile times ect.

Thanks for answering - I'm not always on the forums... so this general info is great for those that haven't been around the cars.

Beautiful car. good luck!

[SSNK4US]

$2,500 bid?? That’s just plain insulting.....

[Mitch Wright]

Be patent you will get what the car is worth.

Late to this sale thread - is the car sold sometime in the last 10 days? At an auction? If so where if I might ask to check for one in the future. I check BaT and eBay periodically but this car was not there unless I missed it somehow.

Thanks

Lol, I re-ran my search "818" on BaT and I get 10 auction hits - none of which are this car. 6 are Lancia Fulvias, one RX-7 and 3 actual FF 818s(2 818 and 1 818R.)

I just ran a new search for "Factory Five" and got this car in the list. So the lesson for today on BaT is try harder on your search. No idea why their search engine excluded this 818S and various other 818s.

Someone got a great deal on a very nice car.
