Factory Five '33 Ford Hot Rod

Completely Modern Classic
The Factory Five '33 Ford Hot Rod kit gives you everything you need to build your car, in one big package. The only things you’ll need are the engine/trans/rear end, wheels/tires, and a paint job.

This is not your grandfather's '33 Ford
"The design goal of the car was pure vintage lines dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century with CAD/CAM technology and race car engineering".
Jim Schenck, Director of R&D
