Gulf CAV GT in New York City

In New York City for a long weekend. Had dinner in Chelsea and was walking around 13th St and 9th Ave... saw a Gulf CAV cruising in NYC traffic at about 7:30-8:00. Anyone know who it was? Tried to flag him down but no luck! Thought it was my car!

That could have been the first person brave (or crazy) enough to drive the streets of Manhattan with their GT40.
 
I was emailing a few years ago with local collector that had a Gulf CAV for sale before I bought 137. He used to drive it here in the city often. But last I heard the car was sold and shipped to Ohio. The car I saw last night was unmistakably a CAV. I know what they look like! He was crushing along in traffic at night like he was driving a Subaru. I wouldn't do it! But it was cool to see it. Wished I could have talked with him.
 
This may be the car owned by the CLASSIC CAR CLUB MANHATTON, HUDSON STREET, NEW YORK, who hire specialists cars out to club members, including a CAVGT40. ( how does an old country boy in UK know this ? )
 
Did I rent? No! Have one at home. And driving in NYC surely wouldn't be my thing.

Makes sense it was one of the club cars. They are only a short distance from here. Looks like a very cool club if you have the $!
