We’re taking a close look at a seriously well-done 2012 Factory Five Type 65 Coupe, a one-off build that captures the Shelby Daytona Coupe look but adds modern hardware throughout. Built by Vintage Motorsports, this car earned the award for “Best Design” at Factory Five’s Open House two years in a row, and it comes with the kind of documentation you almost never see: three binders full of build photos and records.
The composite body stays true to the Daytona silhouette and features high-quality components and clean execution. Power comes from a 7.0-liter FE 427 big-block V8 making an estimated 520+ horsepower with Edelbrock aluminum heads and a Borla stack fuel injection setup. All that is backed by a Doug Nash 5-speed manual gearbox and a Centerforce hydraulic clutch.
This homage to classic racing comes with a clean history, zero racing miles, and build documentation that shows exactly how it was put together! It sold at the Barrett-Jackson 2024 Scottsdale Fall Auction for $60,500.
