factory stock
As originally manufactured
Factory stock refers to the original, unmodified condition of a manufactured product—especially vehicles.
A car that's factory stock has no aftermarket parts, custom modifications, or performance upgrades: The engine is completely factory stock.
Racing classes sometimes require factory stock vehicles to ensure fair competition.
The term emphasizes authenticity and baseline specifications as they came from the manufacturer.
