Re: You tell me ?

I wonder if that's one of the shelby GT40's that i've heard about.... mind you if it was i'd expect the seller to be shouting the fact that it's a "shelby" from the roof tops.

Could this be one of the Gelscoe cars?

But if you don't click on the details it's listed as a 1965 FIA GT40. Picky perhaps but it's designed to draw you in further for sure.

You can have your break now.

Ranks right up there with "genuine artifical leather and authentic replica".

Question Re: You tell me ?

I'll add to the original question of "who made it ?" - "What should it sell for?" The car is very well done and may eventually receive FIA papers. As presented the car is eligible for an HTP in the sellers opinion. Hmmmm...

Re: You tell me ?

Hello all, I'm new here. I've been reading the posts for several months now. I've decided to stick my "toes in the water". As for the above, it my very well be an overpriced replica, I like 40 Bud's definition/comment "genuine artifical leather and authentic replica". I do have to say after reviewing the photos, it is rather well done in the details. Just my 2 cents ~Earl

A quick look at the switches on the dash tells me all I need to know...

Yes, you're quite right, it's a Gelscoe car, and it already has its HTP. See New Ford GT40 for sale
