Now is a great time to visit Factory Five Racing! The entire crew and all of our cars are back from SEMA and the Emerald Coast Cruizin’, and you can check out all of the new cars here in Wareham, MA. The highlights from the SEMA Show and the newest Factory Five’s are the all-steel ’33 Hot Rod body and the all-new Gen 3 Type 65 Coupe.

We will be open on Saturday of the Thanksgiving weekend from 9 am to noon, so when you’re done with your turkey and shopping on Friday, you can come check out some cars for a few hours on Saturday. If you’re in the area, our regular hours at 9 am to 5 pm Monday – Friday, and 9 am to noon on Saturday. We are closed on Thanksgiving and the day after.

The Gen 3 Coupe chassis is chassis #001 and will become the first production Factory Five Gen 3 Coupe (the light blue car featured at SEMA was our prototype).

Courtnie and Dan help Jay (driving) back the now famous Factory Five half mobile off the truck. The running/driving half car was a huge hit at SEMA 2016, and is now in the showroom.

Many people have visited and were looking for the 818 which was on the SEMA truck and spent the show in the KONI Shocks booth. The car is now home and ready for visitors.

Both Gen 2 and Gen 3 Coupes are here at Factory Five for comparison. Customers can still get a deal on the remaining Gen 2 cars while Gen 3 cars are being booked in early 2017.

Why do your cars have California Manufacture Plates ?

You can buy those plates at just about any swap meet. I think the one Dave has is a replica of the Shelby Manufacture plate issued by CA-DMV

You literally brought the house to SEMA this year. Great show guys. The customer cars were awesome too.

I am making plans early next year to fly up there, visit the show room, order a mk4, and maybe meet Dave and Dan from the build videos. Welcome home guys/gals. This is like your homecoming from an away game.

Awesome...I'm in Boston in a couple of weeks for a conference and will be renting a car to go visit on Friday. Must take a close look at the new Type65 and 818, see how well I fit.

Must plan a trip to MA to see the new cars in person. Amazing that a small company provides the components necessary and the builders construct such fantastic cars. Great work by people that have a vision to see the final product.
