Monterey Historics
- Thread starter Veek
- Start date
Hi Victor,
It was nice running into you in 2003. I will be at the Concourso Italiano tomorrow and at Laguna Seca saturday and sunday. I do not have a digital camera, but a friend of mine does so I will see if I can get some shots. The pre-historics were good last weekend with a bunch of original GT40s present. Two new GT's were there, a silver one and a white one. J-11, 1077, 1051, and the Jim Click Racing GT40 were all there.
Veek,
I did not know you were out at the track last weekend. Guess we missed each other. It would have been good to compare notes on the CAV's. I had the GT and the Pantera parked in the paddock so you might have seen them. Anyone going this weekend? I will have both cars parked in the Pantera Club Paddock so drop by.

I just got back from a great weekend in Monterey, California. The historic car races at Laguna Seca were great as were the concourse displays at Pebble Beach and four major classic car auctions. All highly recommended.
I also briefly meet PatrickD in the club area of the track. Patrick has a carbon fiber monocoque CAV, a really nice car.
One surprise was Ron Hein’s guardsman blue 1966 GT40 #1045 on display at Pebble Beach. He had just finished the car this month and was gracious enough to let met take a few dozen inside detail pictures. It has been carefully restored and is absolutely the most mint condition GT40 I have ever seen. Thanks to Ron and PartickD for the photo opportunities. Here are a few pictures of 1045.

It was nice to meet you Bob. I also enjoyed the entire weekend in Monterey. So much to do that you really have to pick and choose between all the different events. The Concourso Italiano on friday is also a "must see" event. I did not make it to Pebble Beach, so your photos of 1045 are appreciated.
Here is the link to the add for the auction for # 103

Here are a few other pictures of the lever on the dash in cars 1045, 1051 (I guess), and 1083. The lever looks like a mini gear shift that travel back and forth in an elongated slot. Maybe it opens and closes the defroster vents and was on cars originally equipped for the street.
Also note the driving lights on 1051. The driving light kit offered by CAV Canada looks like a good match to those on this car.
