Factory Five Racing Mk IV Roadster, F5R1007311RD. This is a masterfully handcrafted Canadian Factory Five Roadster finished in Raven Black with only 4,468 km (2,775 miles).

Propelling this serpent is a custom-built, fully-polished 428FE crate motor with all the bells & whistles and over 500 horsepower. The hard-bodied persona and the mean, throaty sound of this black mamba elicits multiple honks and ‘thumbs up’ every time it’s on the road. Never fails to put a smile on my face every time I cut ’er loose.

Canadian titled and registered (in Alberta):
