A neglected 1980s Nova kit car, rebuilt by Hudson Auto Films, finally starts and runs under its own power after weeks of troubleshooting—fixing ignition timing, fuel delivery, sensors, and a forgotten water-pump belt—marking a major milestone as the project moves toward a turbocharged, Alfa Romeo-powered setup.
The 2000 Factory Five Racing GTM is a turn-key kit car that combines exotic looks with solid Chevy pushrod performance. Built using parts from the Chevy C5 Corvette, this mid-engine supercar features a steel space frame and a fiberglass body reminiscent of the Ford GT40 and Porsche 911 GT1. Powered by an LQ9 V8 engine and equipped with a Porsche G50 five-speed transaxle, the GTM can go from zero to sixty in three seconds and reach a top speed of around 200 mph. Despite some minor issues like paint chips and the lack of locks and A/C, the fully-assembled GTM is priced at $78,000, which is considered a bargain for a rare, exotic, and capable car of its kind.
