Coyote-Powered Factory Five Racing ’33 Hot Rod Coupe

This Factory Five Racing ’33 Hot Rod was built circa 2012 at The Auto Shoppe in South Burlington, Vermont, and in 2015 the car was selected as Street Rodder magazine’s “Best Ford in a Ford” at the 21st Annual NSRA Northeast Street Rod Nationals. Finished in orange metal flake, the composite body is mounted to a tubular steel chassis equipped with an independent front suspension, a three-link rear setup, Koni coilovers, electric power steering, 17” and 18” alloy wheels, and Wilwood disc brakes. Inside, brown leather upholstery is joined by a Vintage Air climate control system, Dakota Digital gauges, a billet steering wheel, a Lokar shifter, power windows, and a Kenwood head unit with navigation and a back-up camera. It is powered by a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 linked to a C4 three-speed automatic transmission, and also has LED lighting, a quick-release fuel filler, a stainless-steel dual exhaust system. This ’33 Hot Rod was acquired by the current owner in 2022 and is now offered on dealer consignment with build records and a clean California title listing it as a 1933 Ford.

The hand-laid composite body is styled after a 1933 Ford three-window coupe, and it has been finished in orange metal flake with a pearl effect. Push-lock fasteners secure the trunk lid and hood side panels, and other details include a silver grille insert, rear-hinged doors, frenched taillight housings, top-mounted windshield wipers, a quick-release fuel filler, and LED lighting with satin black bezels.

Five-spoke 17” front and 18” rear wheels are wrapped in 235/45 and 285/35 Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, respectively. The tubular steel chassis has been powder-coated in black and features a cantilever front suspension, a three-link rear setup with a Panhard bar, and Koni adjustable coilovers all around. The car is equipped with electric power steering, and braking is handled by Wilwood discs with drilled and slotted rotors at all four corners.

The cabin is trimmed in brown leather, and sound-deadening insulation is said to have been installed under the carpeting. Orange upholstery covers the dashboard fascia and door caps, and the low-back bucket seats feature RCi harnesses.

The Vintage Air climate control system has a Dakota Digital interface, and a Kenwood Excelon head unit offers an integrated back-up camera, navigation, and Bluetooth connectivity. Additional appointments include a Lokar shifter, power windows, JL Audio speakers, Coyote-branded sill plates, and LED lighting.

The leather-wrapped billet steering wheel is mounted to a tilting column and sits ahead of a Dakota Digital instrument cluster with a 160-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer indicates 850 miles.

The 5.0-liter Coyote V8 is equipped with tubular headers that flow into a polished stainless-steel dual exhaust system with oblong finishers. An aluminum radiator was also utilized.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a C4 three-speed automatic transmission, a Denny’s aluminum driveshaft, and a rear axle with a Ford Racing-branded differential cover.

The car is titled as a 1933 Ford using the VIN F5R1000466HR.

The car was featured in the April 2015 issue of Street Rodder magazine, which selected it as the “Best Ford in a Ford” at the 21st Annual NSRA Northeast Street Rod Nationals.

A collection of build records will accompany the car.

The 2026 Barrett-Jackson Columbus Auction will be held at the Ohio Expo Center & State Fairgrounds, long considered one of the most dynamic and unique event venues in the Midwest. Located in the heart of Columbus on a campus occupying 360 acres, the Expo Center features 19 buildings and 1.4 million square feet of event space under roof, as well as on-site parking for 14,000 vehicles, making it one of the most flexible and accommodating sites in the region.

AutoHunter Spotlight: 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Convertible

The Oldsmobile division of General Motors was dissolved over 21 years ago, on April 19, 2004. But the brand hadn’t offered a convertible model for nearly a decade prior to that. Oldsmobile’s final convertible was the 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. Let’s look at one such example to see if Oldsmobile saved the best for last. And fittingly, it’s in Dark Teal Metallic—a 1990s period-correct color if we’ve ever seen one.  

Featured on AutoHunter is this low-mileage 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Convertible. The car is being sold by a private seller in Orland Park, Illinois, and the auction will end Tuesday, July 15, 2025, at 11:15 a.m. (PDT).

From 1988 through 1997, the Cutlass Supreme shared the front-wheel-drive General Motors W-platform with the Buick Regal, Chevrolet Lumina, and Pontiac Grand Prix (similar to the one I recently featured). One of the key initial marketing programs for the Cutlass involved using it as a pace car for the 1988 Indianapolis 500. One ad said, “The first car to cross the finish line at Indy will be a Cutlass Supreme.”

1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Convertible available on AutoHunter.com

The W-body Cutlass could be ordered as a four-door sedan, a two-door coupe, or a two-door convertible. The convertible “conversions” were carried out via a partnership with a company called Cars & Concepts. One of the most noticeable characteristics of the drop-top was its prominent B-pillar, which remained in place even when the top was down. According to a story from Hagerty, the main reason for this feature was the Cutlass had its door handle on the pillar. In order to relocate the handle, the entire door would have needed to be retooled. Instead, designers incorporated a hoop that went up and over the cabin. (Some would later assert that this component was a roll bar, but it was purely aesthetic in nature.)

Showing just 16,938 original miles, this 30-year-old survivor appears to have lived a life of garage-kept luxury. From the teal exterior to the charcoal leather interior, it looks nearly flawless in the photos. Under the car’s hood is an LQ1 3.4-liter DOHC V6 mated to a four-speed automatic transmission; the powertrain was rated at 210 horsepower and 215 lb-ft of torque when new.

The listing doesn’t give us clues as to why the car has been so well-preserved, but perhaps its original owner had a crystal ball and knew it would be Olds’ last drop-top. The CARFAX report shows accident-free and damage-free history that began on November 3, 1994, in Cortland, Ohio, when the car was first sold. It was later relocated to Florida for several years beginning in 2017—by that time it had only racked up 10,504 miles on the odometer. Finally, it went back to Ohio for a short time before moving to Illinois in 2022. The most recent maintenance on the report was an air conditioning check in July of that year.

I can’t imagine there are many final-year Cutlass Supreme convertibles still on the road today, let alone with fewer than 17,000 original miles. This car is a unicorn and deserves to find an enthusiast owner. Maybe it would look nice in your garage? Or better yet, in a parade during a future holiday weekend?

The auction for this 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Convertible ends on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, at 11:15 a.m. (PDT).

Chrysler will also have a 2026 Chrysler Pacifica 100th Anniversary Edition on-site, decked out with its special fascia, wheels, and badging, and equipped with Stow ‘n Go seats, power-sliding side doors, and power liftgate.
