SOLD
I have been so fortunate that Gino finally let me buy his 2008 FR500S Ford Challenge Mustang - thank you very much Gino :thumbsup - but that has made me make the decision that I really should make room for a 66 Shelby GT350 by selling my very speciel FR500C serial #004 car. I know this might not be the most logical place to put up #004 for sale, but since all here on this site really loves special Fords I´ll give it a shot.
#004 is as nice as a former racecar will ever get unless just delivered from the factory. It will feel just as much home in the serious car collection as it will kicking butt at the track!
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I´ve prepared a short description of the history of #004 - enjoy :wink
Ford Racing Mustang FR500C # 004
FR500C serial 004 debuted at the Grand Am Daytona 200 in February 2005. The newly developed FR500C Ford factory racecar was delivered just days before the race and with only 2 days of practice getting to know the cars before the Daytona 2005 race for homologation. The result was amazing with the FR500C´s taking first and second, and the remaining 3 cars placing remarkably well.
Champion Dealer Group Motorsports in Alexandria, Kentucky, a Ford Racing Products retailer was given the opportunity to purchase one of the first 3 customer cars and FR500C #004 is one of the first 5 cars at the very first race at Daytona.
Driven by Bradley Lehmann together with co-driver Ian Lacy, the team did remarkably well for a part time effort. The car was race for a couple of years and then retired.
Only 46 FR500C has been built by Ford. The FR500C is a turn key racecar delivered directly from Ford Racing at a price of $125.000,-. For that you got a proven race winner, ready to run at the front of the pack in the highly competitive Grand Am series, and the FR500C won the Grand Am series both in 2005 and in 2008 even though serious attempts to slow them down by adding more weight, changing rear end ratios and adding restrictor plated to the intake were made. The cars today are competitive despite being greater than 8 years old. In fact, if Grand Am took off the restrictor, weight and gear ratio … they would kick the crap out of the reminder of the field at 8 years old!.
#004 has well documented race history as well as documented history of being a survivor with no major damage history and therefore one of only a few of the first FR500Cs still to have the original body. It is believed that only the “05” Championship car, currently on display at the Ford Museum, and #004 have the original bodies out of the first 5 cars, and most likely about 1/3 of all FR500Cs were rebodied during their life because of race damage. #004 retains it small unique items that only the first 5 cars built had.
FR500C #004 made it to a 6 page feature article in the Hemmings Muscle Machines Magazine in December 2005.
The original build book by Multimatic as well as original invoice and race history documents follow the car.
Being owned by Scott Turner, Florida, since 2009, #004 has undergone inspection by Multimatic as well as a full refresh of the cosmetic and mechanical to become a first class collectors quality track car. Full repaint and assembly by Rehagen Racing, and recently serviced by Black Forest Motorsports, a leading facility for FR500C knowledge, and it is ready to head to the track in every way. Full service document including leak down test on engine is included. Scott owns and races the “US Army” 3 car FR500C race team so nobody knows these cars much better than him.
#004 is as perfect as they come.
As I am looking for a nice driver condition 1966 Shelby GT350, preferably a white, red or blue car with “overriders”, I will consider using #004 as part payment.
The car can be delivered world wide.
