Factory Five Cobra: What’s it cost? 

Real ones cost 1.5mill to 2mill

@@mazdamcduckens4015 Actually more one time i saw an auction sold for 6 million

@@mayuravirus6134 that one actually belonged to Shelby

Best of all this cars are solid 10 seconds cars all day long 2400pounds 400 to 500 hp cars for a price of a 13 second cámaro i rather take the cobra any day

Deep down inside: she loves the car - she would never admit it though :)

Nice job - Just remember if you decide to build one, you still need to pay some attention to her too :)

Folks, this is a bot. No wife acts like this.

You should go for it sir. We're not getting any younger. Also, we're not taking this money with us when we die..

My two cents is, "Get out and do it, buddy"! I hope you get the chance.

You guys are right, I’m going to do it. I just received my new FFR catalog and I’m going through all the options for my car. I will go with a full kit with IRS and I’ll also order the other rear end components from them as well unless I can find a 2015 Mustang that someone is parting out. I will have cup holders also. Are all you Ford guys sitting down? I’m putting an LS 1 in my car. 😳

@@jnsfrahm did u do it

@@HiddenGully yes I did. I ordered my kit on 21 July. I’m currently looking for an engine/trans combo.

Steve Spanos I’m a high school kid and I damn love this beauty, along with their super cars, at that point I might send a LS7 engine block to COSWORTH for tuning along with turbocharging, Crazy, huh? It would be awful if people were selling ready racing engines? Judd is fantastic for that :)

I'm in the midwest so I'll definitely have to consider that sometime / is it happening this year with Covid/etc?

Thanks for the comment Wayne - you can't go wrong with the complete kit route either - that coyote is a sweet motor too. So big question: What color did you paint it? stripes? I'm getting ready to put some stripes on mine

​@@TacoJoeYour color turned out well, but painting in a home garage is more that tough. I do home repair, and even just doing poly urethane, I get dust all of the time.

Thanks for the nice comment / glad you liked it!

Only when telling the wife LOL

Add $10k in 2024.

Mine was 2,000 hours labor including re-do's and upgrades. That's $130,000 labor! Most builds are about 400 hours labor.

Do not have someone build it.... Build it yourself!!

@@BradThePitts- You can bring that price down if you work for minimum wage, $11.00 per hr.

LOL! so true

Its a autolite 4100 replica / a very nice carb - didn't need to jet it our anything / just setup the idle and it was good out of the box. Now i didn't put an O2 sensor in the pipes, but its definitely not burning rich either / highly recommend. Go Summit!

I couldn’t have said it better myself / thanks for the comment Paul

Happy wife, happy life.

glad you liked it and thanks for the comment!

67-68 Camaros are the best years / i almost moved on a solid 68 Firebird for ~10k a few years ago. Regret i didn't pull the trigger on that one. Sweet ride my man

if people want 500hp and a real paint job, let them. if people want to do it themselves and save 9,85k, let them too.

@you're stupid I painted my original csx car with paint from the same place. My car cost $4,995 when I purchased it in 1968.

They probably work better than the originals too.

@@robertoferrari5397 Agreed because they have the modern touch with original look.

It is just as real as the original. It's a reproduction, that's better than the original.

Fuck that negativity man, you can do it

@@tjrizvi251 - You know what they say "Don't practice on your favorite car".

Hundreds of Average Joe's have built Factory Fives with no prior experience except maybe building a BBQ. The newest kit is easier to build than ever before, and there's a striving online community to support people. You can do it!

@@BradThePitts Exactly. That said if you have a problem following simple directions like those found in a Ikea box well....

Me and my dad are gonna build one there skill compared to ours is gonna be a major difference

Haha - isn't that the truth / strips are in the long term plan and I'll take the HP that goes with it! Thanks for the comment!

Wait a minute now, don't forget the turbo charging impact of dingo balls along the window sill and a Hawaiian hip-swerving hula Girl on the dash. Nobody'll come near you man !!!

Well it depends what color stripes you get for instance red stripes on a red car cancels this effect 🤫

It's a hella lot cheaper than a new car. $50k and up for a decent car nowadays.

and 3 years work. some of the parts should have been sand blasted and powder coated.

Add it your bucket list / the build was a life experience for me/family and was a great period in my life (good times) - thanks for the comment!

Use a paint shop. Seriously.

early Bronco's are sweet / an excellent project-

Twin turbo 347 in a 2300lb Cobra - definition of bad a :) nice choice

@@TacoJoe Scott's trying to put Duncan and Krispy Kreme out of business making doughnuts by the mile...

he used a used rear end-rebuilt it,he used a used engine,refreshed it(not rebuilt).these parts were from a donor car/truck.using parts from one vehicle makes things easy and makes a working system easy to move over to another vehicle.starting with nothing and buying new or rebuilt parts would cost another $25,000 easily.

​​@@trillrifaxegrindor4411not so. A crate engine can be 10k, which is only about 8k more, plus far less time. Zero way I'd touch an engine. That takes lots of skill and knowledge.

If you can screw something together then you can do this. It comes with complete instructions. The base kit needs the more work, you can opt to pay more for the kit to have most of it finished for you. Leaving only installing the parts, drive line and paint to have a finished product. FFR kits allow you the choice. More time than money get the basic kit. More money than time, get the fully upgraded kit.

Anthony Thomas It is most definitely not that easy in my experience. I’d highly recommend you have a competent social circle with plenty of experience. It’s going to take a while, but when it’s done... everyone else is going to want one too.

@@dj4monie Nope Sir. Look it up. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BD--uPYO718.html

Agreed.. But in my case I'd have to add 'lack of patience'.. LOL

I don't trust my skills enough to build that car either. Wished I did.

Thanks for the nice comment Adrian / hope you can make your dream come true and good luck!

thanks for the comment / biggest tool expense I purchased specifically for my build was the compressor for paint ($400ish?) and the moisture separator/HVLP guns/etc. (est. $150?) Beyond this and some of the engine tools, only other "special" tool I can think of that the typical garage mechanic doesn't have is a riveter-celco. I used my regular cordless drill / wrenches / jigsaw / angle grinder / you name it. If you are interested, Factory Five rolls up a "tools required" list at the start of the build manuals - that's a great starting point. Odds are though, you will have much of what you need- check out the forums too / lots of good advice here on what you need/etc

Mike B my man, your a geinus

That's because she knows it can lead to a new or another girlfriend.

Get a new girlfriend

Us neither

Don't worry

I don't usually like black cars, this is very nice.

If your marriage survived an E-Type, you've got a solid one...

Mark Bergren, wow! You are married to a woman (?) who tells you what you can and can’t do? I’m sorry but I’m married also yet my wife doesn’t tell me what to do. Now to be honest, I do discuss major purchases and plans with her. But if I really want something, particularly a car or truck, she never tells me NO. We discuss finances and if it’s something that I REALLY REALLY want, she only wants to know how much fun will she get out of it. Of course, I will let her drive things first if that’s what she wants. But something as powerful as the FFR Cobra that I would build, she would definitely want me to teach her the ins and outs of how to handle it before she gets behind the steering wheel. She is extremely beautiful (she keeps me close to her when we go anywhere since she gets hit on every time I wander off) but also extremely smart. She knows her limitations and since I have driven in SCCA and NHRA (stock to Top Fuel) she defers to me when it comes to fast vehicles. Then, of course, I teach her and she catches on quickly so she starts slowly but doesn’t take long to get up to speed. Maybe if you get your wife involved with it she will be more apt to say yes. It never hurts to see. That is unless you want to be away from her. If that’s the case, you’re on your own. Sorry my friend.

ztbirdma

Its cheaper than divorce in the long run

Mark Bergren simp

Totally agree. If taking a motorcycle on a drive through the country is 10:10, I'd rank driving a Cobra a solid 8.5:10 - its that fun / thanks for the comment!

You do just takes a little time to learn when he's showing you engine rebuilding rear end rebuild if you have a little money you can just buy a new rear end and new crate motor but don't sell yourself short

Scott Carroll thank you 👍🏻

​@@scottcarroll5545Most men cannot/will not do this. I have zero knowledge about cars, and mine would fall apart at the first time I hit a speed bump. And I would die.
