Non-Vette: Original GT40
Original GT40 on Ebay, sorry but I would sell the C3 in a heartbeat to get my hands on one of these. It's one of the only exotics left on my 'Drive before I die' list.

Re: Non-Vette: Original GT40 (Schmucker)
I just don't like the driver seat location. Just seems awkward.
I think I saw this car at Monterey during the Historics this last year. I am not so sure that it is a true original. The one I looked at was this same color scheme and was simply too perfect for me to take it for a 40 year old car. If it is an original, the original material must add up to less than 20 pounds worth. Many of the old classic cars are simply rebuilt around a few parts, a door hinge for example. :yesnod:

Re: Non-Vette: Original GT40 (Injected)
It's a great car. I've always admired them. Ford built them to take on Ferrari when Enzo spurned them, I recall. Small confession, my current Windows PC screensaver is a classic GT40. Not to worry though, it's only temporary -- the screensaver is the result of the N. American Internat'l Auto Show -- the C3 screensaver will be back shortly.

I asked the seller last night if he had engine pictures. He went and took these today. I wish I had the money...

The sound those "bundle of snakes" make with the 180 degree configuration is symphonic. If only I could do so on my L88!
