Introduction

Its finally here! After more than two years of planning, saving and waiting, the car has finally arrived. On a rainy Sunday afternoon our neighbors helped us take delivery of this Factory Five MkIII Roadster Coupe. It is a replica of the 1965 427 Cobra built by Carroll Shelby.


The delivery truck had a built in hoist that lowered the kit onto my neighbors trailer. I am on the left, my friend Jonathon is on the right.

Our boys found it very exciting. On the left is Thad then my son Josey on the right. In the middle is Jo, she helps Dennis drive the truck; very friendly people.

After a short drive we backed the trailer into my garage, hoisted the kit up then lowered it onto 2 four-wheel furniture dollies (we changed the plan and pulled the fence posts out shortly after taking this picture.)

Next step was to take the body off and store it for a while. The next steps will involve installing the suspension. Stay tuned...
