Vehicle description
I have a 2000 Factory Five "Super Snake Challenge" kit car for sale.
This was a "Spec" racer series car, believed to be one of 10 built. The original series required a stock Mustang 5.0 EFI Engine that was removed and replaced with a stroked, 347 CI small block crate engine. Documentation from previous owner shows the engine is rated at 450HP!
It is also now street legal and is NYS Inspected and Titled. It is titled as a "2000 Custom" with a New York State assigned VIN. It has one manual windshield wiper, removable sun visors and a 12V defogger for NYS inspection purposes. It is a very fast street car. This would also make a great vintage racer, autocross or track day car that you can still drive on the street!
The Transmission is a Tremec T3550 5 speed, 8.8 Ford Positraction rear, Four wheel disk brakes and Fuel cell. 3 binders of build info and history are included in the sale as are SCCA and NASA log books. It comes with two sets of Cobra R wheels, one set is silver and the set currently on the car is black. The tires on the car are high performance street tires and the other set are ultra performance street tires that are more suitable for Autocross or Track use. To me they are too "sticky" for street use.
The car originally had a full roll cage and a racing windshield. The doors do not open due to the roll cage bar. The front hoop of the roll bar was cut off to install a standard street windshield. I still have the front roll bar hoop and racing windscreen and both are included in the sale. The driver’s seat is a racing seat and the passenger seat is as standard street car seat. It has adjustable brake bias valve and battery cutoff switch.
The Good:
This car runs and drives very well. Very Fast! All gages work. It was repainted after its racing days and has a good driver quality paint job. Lots of fun to drive and gets lots of attention.
The Bad:
There are small bubbles on the body seam on the top of the passenger fender. They do not show up well in the photos but I want to fully disclose any issues. I’m very picky and I know that they are there, many people would not even notice. There are some of the usual chips in the paint on the front of the car from driving it. There is a good sized chip by the passenger tail light that has been touched up. It is a driver and I was not concerned about it being “show quality” paint. There is a small oil leak in the area of the engine rear main seal when the car sits for a while. The top passenger corner of the windshield has a crack, this passes inspection in New York State and is shown in the photos. The true mileage is unknown, the mileage on the odometer is the miles since the Odometer was first calibrated after I bought the car.
Call me at 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM EST if any questions.
A $500 Non Refundable deposit via Paypal is required within 48 hours of auction close. The balance in cash at pickup is preferred. Contact me prior to bidding for any other payment types.
