The Factory Five Type 65 is a component car inspired by the original Shelby Daytona Coupe, one of the most iconic American race cars ever built. Factory Five Racing provides the chassis, body, and various components, allowing builders to create their own interpretation of the classic coupe. This approach makes the legendary shape and performance accessible to enthusiasts without the multi-million dollar price tag of an original.
The Type 65's appeal lies in its customization and performance-per-dollar. Unlike a numbers-matching classic, each Type 65 is unique, with builders choosing everything from the engine and transmission to the interior appointments. Most builds feature a Ford V8, ranging from classic 302s to modern 5.0L Coyote engines, paired with a manual transmission.
Market values for the Type 65 are dictated almost entirely by build quality, the components used, and the builder's reputation. Professionally assembled cars with high-end drivetrains, sophisticated suspension, and immaculate paint command the highest prices. Because they are component cars, provenance is about the quality and documentation of the build itself, not a factory history.
Buying Tips
- Scrutinize build quality above all else. Inspect paint, panel gaps, wiring, and plumbing, as these reflect the builder's skill and attention to detail.
- A comprehensive build book with receipts, component lists, and photos is a huge plus and indicates a well-documented and cared-for car.
- Verify the car's title and registration. It should be correctly registered as a custom or replica vehicle, as titling kit cars can be a complex process that varies by state.
- Understand the powertrain. Identify the specific engine, transmission, and rear axle, as this combination defines the car's performance, reliability, and value.
- Look for signs of track use or abuse. Check for excessive wear on brakes, tires, and suspension components, as many of these cars are driven hard.
