The Factory Five Mk4 accurately maintains the essence of the original car, but uses modern technology, parts and materials to improve performance and comfort. This roadster was built with all-new parts from the Factory Five factory. The Ford 351 was built locally to specifications that achieve an exhilarating and comfortable motoring experience. A real driver!
Jim Clement of Baraboo WI built this beautiful car. Jim is well known in both the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) and the auto rebuilding and racing world. Starting with midget racing, owning a successful auto body repair shop for 30 years, and completion of many single engine airplanes including the respected Tailwinds® is a brief summary of Jim’s accomplishments.. This was Jim’s final project and his attention to detail and his expertise in all aspects of the build are on display in this beautiful roadster. Jim passed away in April of 2024 and the car is being offered by his wife Donna and son Eugene for the first time.
