NASA,
as you have seen you cannot buy a NEW complete GT40 TURN KEY for less than about $65,000.These are road cars and not race cars.It is impossible to compare a GT40 road car with a motorcycle engined RACE ONLY car is NOT an even proposition.
Why not buy a partial GT40 and modify your self? You may come close to your $40k target figure if you do that.Besides there are very few santioned races for a gt40 replica to compete in .
I would like to find more people with GTD'S that want to race in vintage races , as GTD is a manufacturer in its own right and is 20 years old as a company now and has built as many as 400 cars worldwide
.I would think this makes the car eligible in its own right not as a replica.
Any ideas or support??
