When I first contracted to buy an SPF GT40 about 20 months ago, I foolishly
thought that the completed vehicle would run about $90,000.00. I had no idea that the ZF transaxle was as expensive as it is. I previously had a SPF Cobra and thought the trans would be similar in expense to a Tremec. Wrong!
To help those of you who are waiting for their cars, I've listed some prices and how they total up so you have an idea of what it really costs to put one together. Those of you who have already built their cars may want to pitch in
on what their builds cost so that you have some real world info.
The total cost on my build works out to about $122,000.00 and breaks down as follows:
Roller:$72,500.00-This includes custom paint color, 1 gurney bubble,twin stripes, ceramic coated headers and prep. No sales tax as I traded in two cars with a value of $72,000.00, so it was a wash.
Roush 427R, Accessory drive package for GT40, Roush Custom GT40 oil pan, Aluminum flywheel upgrade, shipping and tax-$18,254.25
ZF transaxle, bellhousing, internal release bearing, clutch kit, billet throttle cable, GT40 install kit, 11" elecric fans-high power, Nitto tires, 5lb halon 1211 fire supression system, drivetrain install, shipping and tax-$25,603.31
Venzano leather interior-$5,500.00.
So you can see, I was off my original estimate by about 36%.
This was a car ordered before the January 1st price increase.
