This 2009 Foose Coupe is the last of five examples designed and produced by noted automotive designer and builder Chip Foose. Showing just 267 miles, this example features a carbon fiber body and is powered by a Roush-built 5.4-liter Ford V8 mounted behind the driver. 460 horsepower is sent to the rear wheels through a 5-speed ZF manual transaxle, and the suspension features upper and lower A-arms as well as pushrod-activated coil springs. 6-piston Baer calipers clamp down on 14″ cross-drilled and vented rotors, and steering is via a Woodward rack and pinion unit. This example is located in Durham, North Carolina and offered on consignment by the selling dealer with a clean title in the current owner’s name.

Though revealed to the public at SEMA in 2006, the design originated from Foose’s time as a Student at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. The mid-engined coupe features a carbon fiber monocoque body on a modular steel space frame manufactured by noted fabricators Metalcrafter’s Inc. The car was sold to the public with an MSRP of $295,000.

The car is finished in a metallic orange, and detailed photos highlight the condition of the paint and carbon fiber bodywork. Polished Foose 5-spoke wheels present equally well and measure 18×8″ in front and 20×12″ out back.

Suspension was designed and built by Hotchkiss and features upper and lower A-arms at all four corners. Angled pushrods pivot from vertically-mounted coilovers, with the front pair visible behind the grille in the photo above.

The cabin features a custom interior with unique trim, including a three-spoke wheel and a stitched gear knob.

Custom sport seats were fabricated by Metalcrafters and are covered in matching leather upholstery. Crow 4-point harnesses are fitted.

Foose-designed instrumentation remains fully operational along with other controls and functions. Mileage is indicated at 267 miles and is believed by the seller to be accurate.

The fuel-injected 5.4-liter Ford V8 was built by Roush and is mounted amidships in the carbon fiber engine bay. It is reported to produce approximately 460 horsepower and is paired to a 5-speed ZF manual transaxle. Coolant tubes run forward to the grille-mounted radiator, which resides just forward of the gas tank. The most recent service occurred was a full fluid change in September 2016.

Included in the sale is the original conceptual sketch of the car illustrated and signed by Chip Foose.
