Meet customer Dan D. from Southern Maryland, a dedicated Factory Five owner with plenty of stories to share about his Mk3 Roadster of 15 years.

Dan initially embarked on an ‘86 Mustang restoration project, but unforeseen challenges with the rear crossmember led him to consider other options. One of his friends owned a Factory Five Mk2 Roadster, and told him he could transition his project seamlessly into building a Factory Five. After researching various options, he chose Factory Five for the unparalleled experience of building his own car.

The unique stripes on his car are in reference to the Terlingua Racing team in Texas. Dan actively participates in Fun-runs, Cobra club events, and New Year’s Day Cruises, capturing miles of smiles along the way.

As a seasoned mechanic in the Air Force with 30 years of service, Dan’s attention to detail shines through in his build. He’s taken his Factory Five on many trips, including the London Cobra Show in 2021.

Dan’s journey hasn’t been without challenges; he got into an accident two Octobers ago, but bounced back with some new parts, and the help of the team here at Factory Five. He continues to emphasize the resilience of his Factory Five over the years.

15 years of ownership and 95,000 miles later, Dan’s Factory Five is more than a car – its a culmination of years of adventure and passion. He loves his Factory Five and everything it has given him.

Read Dan’s full story about his build and adventures on the open road on our website in our bio.
