    Bring The Spyder Back >>> One is available on B.A.T.

    Hey Gang,

    I'm likely one of the very few guys who wanted to build a Spyder over the beloved MK-4; however, I still wish Factory Five could have made this car profitable.
    Anyway, I saw this on B.A.T. but I don't have the available funds to even consider buying it since we are planning to build a new home in 2021 or 2022.
    Hopefully, someone who loves the Spyder as much as I do will pick this one up.

    Happy Bidding Y'all!

    It sure would be fun to see someone take a Gen 3 and chop it up to make a "modern" phantom of this. Not sure how the Gen 3 chassis would respond to cutting up the cage but it would be cool to see one being built.

    I begged them to build me one when I ordered my MK-4 kit.
    It would have suited the Dark Side Drivetrain far better than the Roadster.
    Since the car never existed, it would have been a no harm, no foul kind of build.
    Who knows, maybe the time will come when this car makes its way back into production.
    I never thought Factory Five would build a Hot Rod much less a Crazy Truck so you never know.

    I saw one in person at one of the FFR open houses. of course that was also the open house where EdwardB showed up with his 20th Roadster so I was a bit distracted by that
    Not sure who's it was, builders choice the engine was sticking out of the hood and that seems to be a bit of overkill to me. I prefer the clean look of this one on B.A.T.

    maybe if we keep bringing it up Dave may re think keeping this one in mothballs.

    It was Mark’s baby, not Dave’s. Not gonna’ come right out and say that’s why there isn’t any interest in resurrecting it but...

    I loved the Spyder just never had the means back then. The price is good now but 3 days to go.

    Steve, I saw one at an open house a few years back in 2015 I think it was. Myself, not a huge fan and the reason is I find it looks more like two cars seemed together. Again just my opinion and if someone was to give me one, I would not say no but my love is for the roadster. 😁

    I agree with you 100%, but the sucker looks good and really suits my peculiar taste.

    ............The lines of the Spyder are simply elegant, but so are the lines of the Iconic Cobra!

    I like the look of the car, but it seems to sit a bit high in the rear for my liking. A better stance would make it look a lot better.

    A lower stance would definitely improve the look of the car.
    Also, the price isn't climbing very quickly so I doubt it will cross the 25-K mark.
    With a supply of less than 40 built, the demand is obviously not there for a car than never existed.
    If it were an actual Daytona I feel that it would be well North of 35-K by now.
