    If you are wanting to build. And want to end up with a driver! I would be looking at the Factory 5 33.

    Thank you for your service.

    Open to that

     



    No need to than me fellas. Just doing my part for this country. Sometimes it feels like I'm doing other's as well since this is my 3rd deployment( Iraq 02-03, Iraq 05-07 and now Afghanisan).
    Hey getting advice already, I love it! Thanks for tips. Any suggestions on sites, or shops that are selling them. I've already checked some of the more populary websites (i.e. Autotrader,Cars.com, Ebay) and a few others.
    I'm also open to the idea of buying an unfinished project as well. Any directions to guide me in would be very much appreciated. Thanks to you all.

    Welcome to the forum and thank you from everyone back Stateside for your contributions.

    Kenny is right, there is no way a person can duplicate a car for what you can pick up one that is already done. Almost everyone takes a bath when they sell one, compared to what they invested.

    I've been watching Barrett Jackson and the prices most of these cars are going for wouldn't buy a person the parts, chroming, and paint. For example, they are selling off Danny Gans collection (Las Vegas entertainer, died last year) and the prices they were getting were shockingly low IMO. True, the super rare, very desirable cars are still bringing 6 figures and beyond, but I'm talking about everyday, but very nice cars that a person could drive and enjoy.

    Anyone on here who builds their own stuff knows how much money we lay out, not only for the actual car itself, but consumables, tools, etc. Sure, there is that cool factor of saying "I built it myself", but there is nothing wrong with buying a done or almost done car and making changes to make it your own.

    Ken,
    Are you saying that the Factory Five '33 is the new street beast, i.e. they will not have value in the future because of their approach?

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    Welcome Vince and also allow me to thank-you for your service for not only the USA but for all of the people around the world who enjoy the free world that we are wanting.
    I purchased my T Bucket as a completed road legal car and used it for a year before tearing it down for a rebuild to improve and make it more mine to the stage the original builder didn't recognise it and it is now has alot of money invested in it but I wouldn't have it any other way.
    Take care of yourself and your buddies over there.
    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.
