Not open for further replies.
Hi all,
An event has caused me to sell this great car. This was Brian McCarthy's car which traded to Ellis Hubbard. It apparently is the last GTD-40 off the line and is painted gulf racing colors. Below is a link to Brian's build and the build specifications. Looking to get $69,500 :stunned: and you ship from Oregon, USA.

Please email me direct at [email protected] or call me 971-570-4785 for current pictures.

I'll post pictures once I get security clearance.
Thank you,
Matt

Very nice, the left hand drive, left hand shift is somewhat unusual.

left hand shift is somewhat unusual.

That's for sure !

Very nice seats indeed, exactly the look I want for my car. May I ask who was your supplier for these nice items (are they built around steel tubes or are they made like the originals back in the days, hooked on the firewall and lying on a shaped floor ?)
 
Re: GTD-40 For Sale (Gulf Racing Inspired)

Hi Pierre-Louis,
They are the Bill Howe seat shells with a local upholstery fabric installer. Nylon with brass grommets. They are nice and you slip right into them. They fit into the car without hooks or fasteners. I'm certain you could do fabrication and add those elements if you want...

Hope this helps, Matt.

Hi Matt

Interesting to see Brian McCarthy's car surface again. He and I had many chats when he worked on this car. Sorry to see you now selling it on. Tongue in cheek, the real reason you are selling is clear from one of your pictures! You have two gulf coloured cars and can't decide which is the right blue so one just has to go!

Re: GTD-40 For Sale (Gulf Racing Inspired)

Matt, I too am liking those seats. Forgive my stupidity but who is Bill Howe and how do I get a hold of the local shop who did the work. Good Luck with the sale...this is a very nice car at a very good price.

His name is Bill Hough, he's a great guy and composites fabricator who lives in Massachusetts, and his user name on this site is DaytonaBill. He hasn't been active on this site for a long while, but you can try to email him at [email protected].
 
Re: GTD-40 For Sale (Gulf Racing Inspired)

Hi all,
The GTD-40 is now Licensed and titled as a 1966 Ford gt-40 Replica.

Plates and registration are in-hand. Title takes about a week to get from the State.
