Without doubt the car that sparked the post-WWII hot-rod boom was Ford's ubiquitous V8 of pre-war days. Rugged and tunable, the immortal 'flathead' motor would remained the hot-rodder's choice and undisputed king of both road and track until deposed by the small-block Chevy in the mid 1950s. Defined by Ken Gross as "a car that's been stripped down, souped up and made to go much faster" (8 Heroes of American Hot Rodding), hot-rods first appeared in the late 1930s in Southern California where they were raced on dried-up lake beds. Engine swaps were a popular way to achieve increased performance, typically involving the shoehorning of a larger-than-standard motor into a chassis it was never intended for, a practice that remains popular today.
Offered here is a 21st Century take on the perennially popular hot-rod theme, built by Factory Five Racing located in Wareham, Massachusetts in the heart of New England where American manufacturing was born. Factory Five was founded in 1995 and has since become the world's largest manufacturer of 'build-it-yourself' component car kits.
Manufactured on 21st April 2011, this Factory Five Racing '33 Hot-Rod was built with an emphasis on performance together with classic '33 Hot-Rod looks. The car was professionally built for William J Schwister of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin using the highest quality components. A build assembly manual, parts receipts and notes come with the car. Notable features include the following:
Ford Coyote 5. 0-litre fuel-injected 32-valve V8 engine
Five-speed manual transmission
Custom stainless steel exhaust
Inboard coil-over shock absorbers
Power assisted rack-and-pinion steering with tilt steering wheel
Electric windows
Air conditioning and heater
Removable hard top (raked windscreen replacement)
Custom ostrich-trimmed seats, steering wheel and trim
First registered in the UK on 1st November 2021, this car is possibly the only Factory Five Racing '33 Hot-Rod registered for road use in this country. Finished in orange/ brown with brown/ tan leather interior, it was acquired by our vendor from the first owner in the USA, and has covered only 6, 300 miles from new. Handbooks, tools, jack and the wheel nut key come with the car. Accompanying documentation includes a V5C registration document, fresh MoT and Factory Five Racing's official letter certifying the car's origin.
