A really nice vintage look is what FFR customer Bill Converse accomplished with his Mk2 Roadster. |

DEC 19, 2004 Factory Five customer Bill Converse stopped by the other day to show off his completed car. While this isn’t an unusual occurance to have proud owners stop by the factory with their newly built rides, what made Bill’s visit memorable was that it was near freezing here in Wareham the day he stopped by! |

Details: Bill picked up his kit on June 6, 2003 and the car was registered here in Massachusetts a year and a half later on November 15, 2004. The FFR Mk2 kit was built with a 250 hp 302 cu in Ford small block with roller rockers, EFI, and stock Mustang parts. The stock T-5 transmission and clutch were also used. The car rolls on the high-end FFR IRS rear with front tubular lower control arms. On the outside the car sports vintage 15” pin drive Trigo wheels and matching period correct chrome bumpers front and rear. The vintage gauges and old school paint scheme complete the picture of this dramatic but functional daily driver. |

Bill painted the car Lincoln Continental Blue with silver metallic stripes. There is a ton of metallic in the blue that makes the car look great in the sun…. in the cold New England December sun… Bill figures he has a little over $30K in the car. Not bad for the same price as a loaded minivan! |
