Royal Blue Pearlcoat/White Stripes/Rondells and Red Rookie Stripe on Driver Side.
Nervously driven only 600 miles since built (3 years ago). Meticulously cared for at all times. Engine oil and filter have been changed 4 times since new.
Professionally completed, using only all-new, premium brand-name parts. No expense spared during build. Need to add to college fund for oldest daughter. Younger daughter (my co-pilot) cried (after I did) that I’m even considering selling. 100% immaculate above and below!! Never in rain. Has never EVER needed washed. I’m an admitted, sick, obsessed, car nut. If you’re looking for a ride that makes the kids in the neighborhood line up as you drive by, people continuously beep, wave, thumbs up, scream and cheer at you…..this is pretty much it. Oh yeah…Warning: Heart pounding, scary, shaking and rumbling, loud, pure adrenaline torque. Not for everyone.
Under the hood: 427 cid (stroker) Competition Eliminator short-block 351W-based Ford, built by Ford Performance Solutions out of Anaheim, California. Complete itemized build sheet will be provided.
This show polished engine has been dyno-tested and tuned (includes documentation) before it left Ford Performance Solution’s facility; it produces a very streetable 547 hp and over 524 ft.lbs. of torque; it’s insanely responsive and has unbelievable torque in all gears/speeds. Hydraulic roller cam and lifters, port matched intake, Avenger ported, polished aluminum heads, 9-quart Canton road race oil pan. All fuel and vacuum lines are stainless braided; ignition system is MSD, Barry Grant Mighty Demon 850 cfm carburetor, ceramic coated headers. Oil cooler with shroud, remote billet oil filter mount. Too much more to list.
Geartrain: new World Class Tremec TKO-600 (600 ft-lbs) five-speed transmission with Lakewood Steel Bellhousing; the clutch setup provides you with excellent holding power for high horsepower applications and maintains a much lighter pedal feel than most high-performance clutches; in the rear, upgraded to 3.46:1-ratio differential.
Chassis, Suspension, Brakes:

Chassis constructed from top grade 2"x4" rectangular steel tubing with 3 mm wall thickness, reinforced with steel plates to add strength to high-stress areas. Entire frame is powder-coated. Rack & pinion steering.

Front suspension—cast lower wishbones, a coil-over strut and a stabilizer bar (adding to the overall handling of the car).

Rear suspension—BMW full independent rear suspension, with a centrally-guided multi-link, 2-track control arms and one longitudinal arm. The rear suspension is fully adjustable and features polyurethane bushings.

Brakes—power-assisted disc brakes on all four corners.

Rolling stock—Upgraded 17” Halibrand-style aluminum true knockoff wheels. Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 Max Performance tires [315/35xZR17 rear; 235/45xZR17 front].
Rollbar—full functional, stainless steel driver-side rollbar, mounted to the frame.

General—the chassis is fitted with dual thermostatically-controlled cooling fans. The hood boasts stainless rivets, pre-fitted for authenticity. Tunnel mounted parking brake lever with finished aluminum handle. Chassis includes stainless steel windshield wipers, wind wings and sun visors. Engine compartment is clad in stainless steel to complement the car and deflect heat from the footboxes. Sidepipes are covered with triple-chromed ankle-protecting heat shields. Original style driver-side mirror, quick-jack bumpers, and 3M stone guards on rear fenders.
In the cockpit: rich black leather interior, Upgraded original style Autometer electronic gauges, 4-point harness safety belts w/Simpson shoulder pads, and chromed fire extinguisher. Upgraded 14” Moto-Lita Style wood steering wheel. Upgraded with heater/defroster.
Bonus: Carroll Shelby certified signature on passenger side wind wing. Static cling vintage decal kit included. Digital pics of start to finish build will also be provided.

See photos.

Hi John,

No, that one isn't mine, be she sure is a beautiful car. My car is the one you see in the header graphic at the top of the page. It's a Factory Five.

I have seen a number of cars from Backdraft Racing up close. The last time was a couple of years ago at SEMA. They were very nice cars.

WOW!! Awesome looking car James. That is also on my wish list. A friend of mine is building one and that got me interested. Do you have any pictures of the dash and instruments?

Excuse me while I wipe the drool from my keyboard.
