The guys at Factory Five are telling me that this world record holding Type 65 Coupe will be in their booth at SEMA this year. Built by Farra Snook and SoFast Racing, the Coupe has a 347 Ford small block producing a healthy 700 hp. It went 216.9 mph at Bonneville last month, which was good for a land speed record in the blown fuel modified class. We'll get a much closer look at this car in just a few weeks, so stay tuned.

Their website says that is the fastest car ever to run at Bonneville. I think they made a mistake.
