Rep Power: 12 Canuk40 is a jewel in the rough
Re: 1966 GT40? Yeah Right!

Thanks for the feedback, it's important to keep in mind that manufacturing GT40 replicas is a business not a hobby.

As material, energy, labour and regulatory costs keep rising the only price break comes from economy of scale and, as these will never be high volume cars, that won't amount to much.

I doubt that, because of the tooling commitment, cost of major componentry (ZFs, Pin Drive hubs, $400 headilghts, etc) plus the high expectations of the todays' consumer, you will ever see GT40s in the volume of Cobras.

Sure it won't be as rare as say an XJ13 Jaguar, but man, just look at the car! Nothing compares to a GT40.

Cheers
