Re: SPF GT40 Registry Eligibility

Their was a battle going on regarding who had the right to build GT40s, and using the GT40 name. We all know the Safir connection here.

Shelby had a few cars built under SPF guidance, but full production came to a stop. I have pictures forwarded to me by Phil Henny that shows 2 GT40s on pallets in LV, and at the time, I could have bought one for a pretty good price.....but did not have the funds at the time.

It is my understanding that after all the gun slinging was over, Shelby endorsed the GT40s being built by SPF. Yes, no? Then from that point, the GT40s constructed by SPF were officially recognized by Shelby.

Hell, that is just one story. Their are no doubt many more versions out there. Someone has to have the real answer.
