It is the year 2000.
The kids were all gone from the nest.
The wife wanted us to get a "go to get ice cream convertible"
I saw an add for Factory Five in a Car and Driver magazine in a customers lobby.
I tore it out of the magazine ad and asked what she thought.
Do you think you could build it?
Let's look at a Miata, BMW Z3, Porshe, or maybe a Corvettte.
I said I have an engineering degree and I am some what mechanical.
I think I can do it and get it on the road for around 25k.
She said "Okay, if you think you can do it".
A challange!
Looked at FF and a customer suggested A & C.
Visited their plant in Buffalo and liked what I saw.
Wife said Okay! 10 months after I got the frame, on the road.
Never knew about CC or FF5 website until half way thru the build.
We have over 40k in the car over the years and always changing something and love to get in, start it up, go for a ride or to the local car show. Won (3) best of show "Modified" over the years.
It never gets old, the power, the sound, the heat off the pipes, the looks you get from everyone.
I never regretted the decision. I loved the look of these cars since I first saw the pic of Dan Gurney on the high banks of Daytona in a Car and Driver magazine in 1964.
Good Luck with your decision. Bye the way I'm 61.
Jim
