Type 65 Coupe “It Makes Me Feel Like Dan Gurney When I Drive It” There were just six original Coupes ever made. Those cars captured the 1965 FIA World Championship for America in the last years before mega-money stole American roadracing from its roots and from the average guy. Despite the fact that the design never entered production, those six cars, hand-built upon 289 AC chassis, became symbolic of the end of an era. This car is one of the most unique and stunning shapes in automotive history. Even today, more than 40 years later, the muscular lines and aggresive stance has no equal. I know of no other car more capable of making a Dodge Viper driver appear to be wearing a skirt. While the dramatic design makes people stop and stare, only the hard-core car guys know its full history. You won’t see three of them lined up at your local Starbucks, and even at car shows these Factory Fives are rare birds. It is certainly not a car for everyone, but it is definitely the only car for some. Each Factory Five Type 65 Coupe is true to the road racing legacy that gave the design its birth, and yet with modern engineering and technologies, our cars are much more livable than the originals. Of all our designs, the Coupe is my favorite. I have one parked at home in my own garage. I have raced it at tracks around the country and drive it on the street here in New England. If things work out, one of my kids will own it someday. It makes me feel like Gurney when I drive it, and my wife wrinkles her nose and says it smells like gas when I make her ride in it with me … A man cannot ask more of a car.

Concept & Design The Best of 1965 and Today More than ten years ago, we began designing the Type 65 Coupe to be an accurate replica of the original 1965 World Championship Coupes. The Type 65 Coupe was designed to capture the look and feel of the original 200 mph GT cars, but also use today’s engineering to make it more reliable and comfortable. Like our Roadster, the Coupe can be built two ways. You can buy a base kit that is “donor Mustang capable,” or you can buy the complete kit that gives you just about every nut & bolt you need to build the car (except engine/trans/rear-end, wheels/tires, paint).

Base Kit - $15,990 The Type 65 Coupe base kit is based on the innovation of using running gear from a single donor vehicle—namely, the high performance Ford Mustang. The concept was, and still is, so simple. If you have our base kit and running gear parts from a 19871993 Mustang GT donor car, you already have all the parts you need to build and drive your car!

Complete Kit - $20,990 Over the years we have expanded our chassis kit to include factory-new parts as well. Our complete kit delivers to you…well, a complete kit. The only things you’ll need to add are your own engine/transmission/rear end assembly, wheels/tires, and paint.

Today, more than 40 years later, you can build and pilot a car that is almost identical to those driven by guys like Bob Bondurant, Dan Gurney and Ken Miles. The only difference is that these days, technology has enabled vintage lines to merge with modern comfort and performance. “…The phrase‘eye-ball sucking performance’ is a tired, over-used metaphor, but it should have been saved for the Factory Five Coupe. Galloping to 60 mph takes only 3.6 seconds. Bye-bye Porsche 911! The quarter mile passes in only 11.9 seconds at 119 mph, faster than a Dodge Viper GTS...” Larry Webster, Technical Editor

Manufacturing Right Materials, Made Right, Here in the USA While our talented engineering staff uses advanced computer CAD designs right up front, our manufacturing team finishes the job by using the right materials, tools and training to build a better part. Not only does Factory Five lead the component car industry in engineering technology, we set the bar just as high in manufacturing. The Type 65 Coupe is made in our factory in New England, not Taiwan or South Africa. The end result of all this work is that this most American of cars is made by American craftsmen using the right tools, the right materials, the right way. Modern computer-designed frame jigs, and certified welders make sure each frame is made right. Advanced robotics add efficency to components. Our CNC laser cutting machine ensures perfect cuts on our aluminum and steel pieces while our welders work on computer-designed welding jigs.

The chassis assembly area is where the welded frames meet formed aluminum panels and gelcoated composite bodies to be mounted for shipping.

Type 65 Coupe Frame

Our welded parts are made in the USA with American labor.

Authentic Design/Modern Engineering The Factory Five Racing Type 65 Coupe frame is the heart of the kit. It is computer designed to be extremely strong yet maintain the beauty and elegance of early 1960s race car frame designs. The frame weighs about 300 lbs. and is shipped as part of an assembled chassis kit, ready to accept bolt-on components. The frame is a completely welded assembly and is delivered in bare steel or with an optional gloss black powdercoating.

Integrated 6-point Roll Cage with Cross-Bar.

Front nose, doors and rear hatch all hinge from frame, NOT fiberglass body.

Front X-member not as shown. Current revision is a more elegant round tubing design.

Convenient tow strap hook and safety skid plates

Each of the six original Coupes were built on vintage AC chassis. Racing rules changed at the end of the 1964 season to allow for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;modificationâ&#x20AC;? of the exterior body shape, while using the same frame/chassis of an existing homologated design. Just like the original, we too built our Coupe upon the strong foundation of a modified Mk4 chassis.

Period correct 4" round tube with increased 0.120" wall DOM main rails (up from 0.095" in original cars).

The Factory Five Coupe frame is computer designed on Solidworks™ software ®

using Hewlett Packard workstations.

Front and rear energy absorbing crumple zones help protect occupants.

Harness mounts to round tubing behind the shoulders and to welded-in 3/16" plate steel mounts on the floors.

Tubular steel backbone structure increases rigidity, just one way we make our frame stronger and more rigid than the original.

Pre-welded suspension, engine and transmission mount points for bolt-on components.

To make a better frame, you need to start with better materials. In the Coupe we use certified materials. Plate steel is laser-cut type A-36. Round tubing is DOM (drawn over mandrel). All tubing is high quality mild carbon steel.

NASA and SCCA Racing derived footbox protection and cockpit steel surround.

In-house manufacturing controls help maintain quality and reproducibility. For example, our welders all use the same Millermatic™ 250 MIG welding machines. Standardized equipment is part of a comprehensive quality manufacturing program.

Aluminum Chassis Panels Aluminum Under Glass The Factory Five Type 65 Coupe is built like a proper race car. Instead of using kit-car style fiberglass for the cockpit, trunk and foot boxes, we followed in the tradition of real racecar builders and used aluminum and steel. The aluminum chassis panels on our Coupe, like our Roadster, are one of the major design and functional differences between us and almost all of the other replicas out there today. It is a design based firmly on CAD/CAM technologies and incorporates the superior construction methods of modern auto racing and aerospace industries.

“There’s something magical about having a racecar on the street. It’s enough to make anyone a little giddy, and the beauty of this beast is that all you need to do to make the illusion a reality is strap on a helmet and take it to the track.” Scott Lear, Grassroots Motorsports Magazine

“ …Small items that make the difference between a finished car and one that has that perfect look… not just from a distance, but from up close.” Dan Burrill, Associate Editor

The entire cockpit, massive trunk area, engine bay, and splash guards are made from CNC precision-cut 6061-T6 aluminum.

Interior All business at the Helm The Coupe interior was designed to capture the essence of the original car, yet improve on things like ergonomics, cockpit space, and sound/heat management. We kept the interior period correct and functional like its forbearer, however we designed in modern comfort and controls like supportive seating, air conditioning, and improved visibility. All these things combine to enhance the driving experience rather than affect it. The kits come with a complete interior and include quality items like the original style bucket seats. Vintage details abound, like our beautiful wood and aluminum steering wheel and safety items like the heart-attack serious race-cage, and five point racing harnesses for passenger and driver round out a nice package.

Jack Roush signs the dash of the Factory Five-Champ Car Coupe, SEMA 2003.

The clean lines and purposeful interior complement the vintage design of the car and underscore its serious purpose.

Front Suspension/Brakes The ugly truth is that most kits, hot rods and customs handle terribly. The artistry and strength of the Factory Five Coupe chassis would be a waste without an equally well-designed suspension. Computer simulations and hundreds of hours on the track under the most extreme conditions have helped our engineers design a world-class suspension that simply works great.

Front Suspension Base Kit • Fully independent front suspension utilizing unequal length double wishbone suspension design • High-end Koni mono-tube adjustable coil-over rod-end shocks • Uses donor Mustang front lower arms, spindles, and brakes • Optional tubular steel lower control arms

Front Suspension Complete Kit • The Factory Five Racing Type 65 Coupe complete kit includes the entire front suspension assembly and Ford brakes. • Includes Ford GT brakes with 11” rotors, twin piston calipers, and stainless steel brake lines, fittings, and fasteners • Includes brand-new spindles and tubular control arms

Brakes/Wheels Rear end and brakes can be used from a Mustang donor car. We also sell brand new 8.8” Ford rear ends with Mustang brake kits. We offer an optional Halibrand replica wheel that is affordably priced and in the correct sizes/backspaces to work with our car.

Standard Type 65 Coupe complete kit front suspension, steering, and brakes. NOTE: X-member shown is square tube. This design has been upgraded to round tubing.

Rear Suspensions The Type 65 Coupe Coupe Chassis Kit is delivered ready to accept bolt-on rear suspension components in one of three (3) rear suspension configurations:

1. Four Link Rear Suspension Our standard 4-link suspension comes with custom anti-squat geometry and ready to accept Ford Mustang 8.8” solid axle donor rear suspension parts. About half of FFR Coupe kits are shipped with the affordable standard 4-link rear suspension, which is a great performance street car suspension.

Ford small blocks work in the Coupe... like this original High Performance 289 with Webers.

2. Three Link Rear Suspension The upgraded 3-link rear suspension is standard in Type 65 Coupe complete kits and all FFR Challenge Series cars. It includes the frame brackets, panhard rod, control arms, coil-over shocks and springs. Recognized as a proven and worthy upgrade to the standard Mustang 4-link, this suspension eliminates any bind and provides an amazingly predictable ride at the track or on the street.

3. Independent Rear Suspension Our Independent Rear Suspension upgrade is designed for those looking for the most comfort and authenticity, and can be added to either the base or the complete kit. It includes a welded-in cage, upper and lower tubular control arms, highend Koni mono-tube rod-end coil-over shocks (matched to the fronts), and custom assembled axles and CV joints. The IRS option for the Type 65 Coupe kit requires the 8.8” center section (from a 1989-1997 Ford Thunderbird), rear spindles, and brakes.

Standard 4-Link Suspension

Running Gear The Coupe can be built using small block Ford engines and a variety of transmissions. Engine bay and deck height limit engine selection to Ford small blocks (289, 302, 351, 392, etc.). You’ll have a few more choices when it comes to transmissions. While there is plenty of room in the transmission tunnel for older set-ups, engine selection directs you to use the T-5 or a TKO (500 or 600). Call for details about 5.0L Coyote engine install.

Optional Independent Rear Suspension

Standard Type 65 Coupe 3-Link Rear Suspension. Requires differential and brakes.

Type 65 Coupe Body/Exterior Best Looking Coupe with all the Right Details The Coupe is an extremely unique design and car. The need for authenticity makes the exterior components and trim even more important. When you look closely, you’ll find that our Coupe stays faithful to the original car from the main body shape all the way down to the smallest of details. The body shape and style was an accident … a lucky one. We started out to make an authentic 90” wheelbase Coupe, using our Roadster chassis and pick-up points for reference. That first 90” wheelbase prototype was simply too small. So we made the difficult decision to increase the vehicle dimensions. But we didn’t simply stretch the wheelbase, rather we enlarged the entire vehicle about 6% to maintain proper scale. The result was a jawdropper! The truth is the car simply looks right. It looks better than the original car and it’s also sleeker and more attractive than any of the three or four replicas out there that all seem to miss the mark by some distance… we nailed it.

Authentic body style with original design nose/radiator vent, hood bulge, rear brake ducts and radical angled rear clip.

Hand-laid vinylester composite body complete with hinged doors and front hinged nose. Lamination thickness is approx. 3/16” all around with .015” coat of gel coat outer finish.
