What It Was Likeĭriving the car was quite a memorable experience, to say the least. It makes me wish I had a cool dad like that. One of Len’s biggest motivating factors in having this car made was to have something he and his son could bond over and enjoy. Len is one of the sweetest guys you will ever meet and is just so enthusiastic about his friends and family as well as any project he touches. I hope to one day make a book about it! I met Len Mosco, owner of The Real Mach 5, through another buddy that built an amazing replica of the Luke Skywalker Landspeeder that I photographed a couple of years back. This project has opened the door to many unique car collectors and vehicles with crazy stories of their own. The Real Speed Racer Mach 5 ~ Photo by Douglas Sonders

I was probably suffering from heatstroke and a wicked farmer’s tan by the end of it, but I got to tear around in the Mach 5 on Florida back roads after the photoshoot for. The Real Speed Racer Mach 5Īs you can see from the video below and sense from the photos, it was a hot day. I got to shoot it, I got to drive it, and I got the story of the man who decided to put such a gorgeous car together. And when I say working I mean it has two giant saw blades coming out of the front. But few have been as personally exciting as a street-legal, working replica of one of every kid-of-a-certain-era’s fantasy car: the Mach 5. Jalopnik’s Douglas Sonders Got To Drive The Real Speed Racer Mach 5Īs a commercial photographer and filmmaker, I’m often invited to photograph some interesting cars.
