Factory Five ’33 Ford Hot Rod
This 1933 Ford Roadster Replica, produced by Factory Five, boasts a striking gray fiberglass body with custom dark gray and red pinstripes by the renowned Wild Wes. Suicide doors, dual side mirrors, and a removable hood and hardtop roof add to its impressive features. The top-off driving experience is enhanced by a removable windscreen with a brushed aluminum surround and a padded cockpit collar. A scrape on the underside of the nose panel, caused by a parking stop, has been professionally repaired by the selling dealer, and a before-and-after photo is included in the gallery. The black leather interior provides a comfortable ride and is powered by an Engine Factory-built Ford 347ci V8 engine, paired with a five-speed manual transmission and an 8.8″ rear end with a limited-slip differential. The vehicle also features Boyd Coddington wheels, measuring 18″ at the front and 20″ at the rear, with staggered-width Pirelli P-Zero tires, and Wilwood disc brakes with red calipers for maximum stopping power. Other notable features include air conditioning, a tilt steering column, a Bluetooth-equipped audio system, and more. This Factory Five Hot Rod was purchased by the current owner in winter 2019 and is being offered for sale by a dealer, accompanied by an assembly manual, a build list, and a clean Florida title.
The interior of the car is both stylish and functional, boasting diamond-pleated black leather seats with contrasting stitching, matching door panels, and carpets. For added safety, the seats come equipped with Simpson four-point harnesses. Additionally, the car is equipped with modern amenities such as Vintage Air air conditioning and a Bluetooth-equipped stereo system with hidden speakers.
The three-spoke billet steering wheel sits on top of an Ididit tilt steering column for added comfort and convenience. The car’s electrical system has been upgraded with an Infinitybox wiring system, and the body-colored dashboard features a centered instrument panel that includes a 160-mph speedometer and an 8k-rpm tachometer. The car’s digital odometer displays approximately 1,000 miles, 300 of which were added by the current owner.
Under the hood, the car is powered by a 347ci stroker V8 from Engine Factory, which is built on a Ford roller 302 block. The engine comes equipped with various features to enhance its performance.
The vehicle is equipped with an Eagle cast steel crankshaft, 10:1 forged pistons, a hydraulic roller camshaft, roller rockers, Edelbrock Performer RPM cylinder heads, and an Edelbrock intake manifold. It also features a Holley Quick Fuel 650cfm carburetor with electric choke, an Aeromotive fuel regulator, an MSD electronic distributor and Blaster 2 coil, and Ford Racing valve covers and an open-element air cleaner. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels through a Tremec TKO 6000 five-speed manual transmission and a Ford 8.8″ rear axle with a limited-slip differential and a 3.73:1 final gear ratio. The gallery provides additional photos of the underbody, while a narrated walk-around video with an in-car drive is available below. The combination of these high-performance components results in an impressive and exhilarating driving experience.
