I went to the Kohler Int, event and saw a few GT 40's there. Absolutely beautiful cars that sounded great! (Unfortunatelly I missed to meet Mike there)
Probably a dumb question but is it built by Ford? Mats

most of the gt40's you will see are replicas. mine is made by superformance. they are considered a high quality "kit car." they come as a complete rolling chassis minue engine and trans. they are built at the same plant in south africa that the nobles/rossions are built. my gt40 is technically considered a "continuation car." it is titled as a 1966 gt40. the orignal gt40s were made by ford through the mid 60s. an original could cost as much as 2 million dollars depending on the cars history.

finally caught up w/this thread
Gorgeous iconic cars!! 917 video was great. GT40 power/wt ratio is WOW, but likely too fast for me. I buy only 2 seaters w/removable tops, personal quirk. Moto's head seems a bit small. Congrats, Mike, it's a beauty!

With my underwear still clean (mostly), I exited the GT-40 and hopped into the Ford GT. Holy. Crap. The acceleration was FAR more brutal. First gear was mostly useless, and we hit 120-130 on the straight on that itty bitty track at Firebird West.... the one behind the autox lot. Holy jeez, that thing was simply nuclear. Ford GT FTW!  That said, I don't know how worked over their Superformance GT-40 was... it was a silver MK2. Awesome car. These guys brought five cars in the biggest toy hauler I had ever seen! Fun day.
