The Factory Five Mk4 Roadster built by these five women is powered by Ford Racing’s 535 hp small block 351W based 427 stroker. A TKO 5 speed delivers power to the 3.31 solid axle 8.8″ rear end with FFR 3-link suspension from our race series. The shocks are Koni 3012 double-adjustable coil-over units. Brakes are Wilwood 13″ cross-drilled and slotted rotors up front with four pot calipers, and 11.65″ rears with 2 piston calipers. Tires are Toyo R888′s roadracing rubber on custom wheels designed by Christopher Coddington and Hot Rods by Boyd. Paint is Sherwin Williams Planet Color Midnight Black with off white vintage stripes.
The car will be sold for a women’s charity yet to be announced. The car will be featured on the 2014 Hot Rod Power Tour with women from the build team at stops along the way. The car will also be featured at the 2014 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
