                        | Description: | 1965 FFR Roadster  Factory Five Racing COBRA replica 5.0 quad-cam Ford Cobra engine, Independent Rear Suspension
 Perfect Street and Track driver - Florida title: "1965 FFR"
 
 This is my third FFR Roadster build, completed in October 2006. It is an IRS car, with a 5.0 quad-cam modular engine professionally built in 2007. The donor parts used are:  1998 Mustang Cobra T45 transmission, spindles, brakes, steering rack, gas tank, wire harness. I installed a new FFR aluminum radiator, and other upgrades below. Paint is a beautiful Honda Suzuka Blue, by Frank Gifford of Classic Illusions body shop in Stuart, FL.  My  primary goal in this build has been reliability, simplicity, and good manners on the street and track. This car has been 100% reliable for every mile. Im selling it only to be able to build my next project. If you are looking for a Cobra to DRIVE anywhere, with no worries, I have no hesitation in recommending my car to you.
 
 ENGINE: Ford 4.6 liter 4-cam Cobra mod-motor, new Teksid block, stroked to 5.0 with new forged  crank, H-beam rods, forged pistons all balanced and pro assembled at Thunder Motorsports Boynton Beach, racing Mustang specialists.

It is smooth and tractable on the street, great for cruising, and has a fantastic snarl from 5,000 rpm to redline of 7,000.    Mobil-1 always.
