This Factory Five Racing Type 65 is a Daytona coupe replica that is powered by a BluePrint Engines 331ci V8 linked with a Tremec TKO600 five-speed manual transmission and an 8.8″ rear axle with 3.73:1 gears. The fiberglass body is mounted to a tubular steel frame and finished in blue with #98 roundels. The car was partially assembled under previous ownership and reportedly placed in storage for approximately 11 years before being acquired by the seller in 2022 and subsequently finished. Work consisted of performing an oil change, replacing the spark plugs, and a fuel system cleaning in addition to installing Vintage Air climate control and an electric parking brake. Additional details include 18″ Halibrand-style wheels, disc brakes, AutoMeter instrumentation, adjustable suspension components, and side-exit exhaust pipes. This Factory Five Daytona coupe replica is offered with spare parts, an order form, engine dyno results, and Georgia registration listing it as a 1965 Ford Daytona.
The fiberglass body is mounted to a tubular steel frame and finished in blue with #98 roundels and period racing decals. Additional details include fog lights, side-exit exhaust pipes, a rear spoiler, and a Le Mans-style fuel filler. Exterior blemishes are shown in the gallery below.
Halibrand-style 18″ alloy wheels wear faux three-eared knock-off spinners and are mounted with Nitto GT555 Extreme ZR tires measuring 245/40 up front and 275/35 out back. The car is equipped with adjustable front suspension components and an E-Stop electric parking brake. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes reportedly sourced from an SN95 Mustang Cobra.
The low-back bucket seats were installed in 2023 and are trimmed in black leather and fitted with Simpson Racing latch-and-link harnesses. Additional interior elements include black carpeting, Vintage Air climate control, a carbon-fiber wrapped dashboard, and a wood-rimmed steering wheel.
AutoMeter instrumentation consists of a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for oil pressure, oil temperature, coolant temperature, fuel level, and voltage. The five-digit odometer shows 143 miles.
The clamshell hood opens to reveal a 331ci V8 assembled by BluePrint Engines is cooled by an aluminum radiator and electric fan. An oil change was performed, the spark plugs were replaced, and the fuel system was serviced in August 2023. A 2011 engine dyno test document is presented in the gallery below and shows a peak output of 400 horsepower at 4,000 rpm.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Tremec TKO600 five-speed transmission and an 8.8″ rear axle with 3.73:1 gears.
Windows, headlight covers, and side-view mirrors are included in the sale.
