PLEASE tell me that you have more pics of that GT-40!

Last I read in Car and Driver, BON, Automobile! and the SVT Hot Sheet was that this car WAS going into production, in limited numbers.

I don't care what it costs, I'd trade in the 550 AND the 150 and sell my wife into slavery for a '40.

Saw the Old GT40

Saw one on display at a Ford dealership in Anchorage back in the sixties. They were beauties, and so is this one.

Cool

CrazyFoo,
Thank you for asking as I can use this to say thank you to the Living Legends design crew (they designed the new GT40) and to Steve Saleen for providing me with one of his press kits. Thursday is press day at the Auto Show and the crowd is usually small and the goodies are usually real good. As you know Friday evening is reserved as a black tie charity event and is the official kick off to the Auto Show. Maybe I will see your boss there.

Mike,

Did you get to hear them start that puppy up? Man it was awesome!

I was walking by it on thursday and saw Jay Mays standing by it, and one of the SVE guys jumped in and fired it up. WOW was that impressive. Sounded incredible.

Man, Steve Saleen was there? I shoulda gone downstairs. I have a bone to pick with him.

The story goes that this one was to be for Jac. Not anymore. Nice Halibrand wheels just like in the 50's.
