From The Manufacturer:

When a Coupe drives past, everything stops… Little kids cover their ears, old ladies frown, and every real car guy everywhere share a thumbs-up salute to a genuine lord of internal combustion excess. 

We are building these cars in a quasi-religious sense, aware that this model, apart from everything we build at Factory Five, is special.  Each Factory Five Type 65 Coupe is true to the performance charter that gave the design its birth, and yet filled with modern engineering.  If you’re going to build a replica of a 1965 Daytona Coupe, 9 times out of 10 you’ll end your search right here. 

Our faithful rendition of the 1965 World Championship Winning Type 65 Coupe is not a kit for every one, but it is the only kit for some.

We designed the Coupe to be similar in construction and kit content to our best selling roadster.  The Coupe has an aluminum and steel chassis with a composite body shell.  Although the frame is similar in design (base 4” round tube design) to the roadster, it has been modified to a longer 95” wheelbase and incorporates a central backbone and full roll cage standard. 

Like the roadster kit, the Type 65 kit is available as a base kit (donor Mustang capable) or a complete kit.  The innovation of using running gear from a modern donor vehicle, namely the high performance Mustang, is a solid way to keep build costs down without losing quality.  The complete kit gives you the convenience of sourcing fewer parts from a donor car or from your local parts dealer.

When you’ve looked at this kit and car up close, you might find that the Factory Five Coupe has evolved to become more than a replica… The variety and custom designs of the more than 350 Coupes we’ve sold is stunning.  The car is a beautiful combination, keeping the best parts of the 1965 legend, and using technology to leave the rest behind.
