Some "found" GT40 pictures....

My Grandfather was involved with SA back in the day. Discovery Channel asked me to scan some images for an upcoming special, so I thought you guys might like to see a few. I found some interesting stuff, including photos of original conceptual GT40 drawings and a cheesy clay mock-up photo.

And yes, I'm a newbie (here) but took my driving test in a '65 GT350 with 5 point belts in 1978. So... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hello,

I think Gandini had the same drawings when he designed the Miura ...

Excellent anyway !!!

Jim,

I live right across US50 from you in Rosemont. No 40 yet,
but when the house remodel is done, and we sell it off to
buy a bigger house with a bigger garage, that should all
change.

Next time we have a Norcal 40 get together (usually in San Ramon)
we should get together and head down. Howard is the gracious
host, and Faili, Bud and many others show.

Wish I could join you for the races (was there something going
on last weekend?) but Memorial Day weekend is around our
Wedding Anniversary (5 years this year).

Now I think we really need to make an official NorCal 40's
club (or GT40s.com NorCal chapter). The numbers seem to be
climbing, both members and vehicles.
