Hello, all. I am new to the forum and new to life sized GT40s. As a kid, my aunt and uncle gave me a model GT40 (Corgi, I think). I set on my dresser and I played with it along with other cars, but it was always the favorite. I currently drive a Porsche Cayman S, and while it's a fantastic car, I am looking for something that stands out. (The Cayman will likely migrate from my weekend car to be my daily driver. I had been coming the classifieds for "special" Porsches, but in the end, a modern Porsche is very similar to most of what's "realistically" available. I then started looking at Ferraris and Lambos and Maseratis and always found myself drawn to the late 60s early 70s. Again, anything worth owning was into the upper $100s and beyond. A Superformance add caught my eye, and they make a compelling case for their "continuoation" cars. Early investigation looks like I could get into one of these fitted with an engine and transaxle somewhere under $100,000. I could upgrade the powerplant later as I feel necessary.
I am handy, but do not have the time or the skill to construct a car from a box of parts. I am looking for a roller and any advice as to who offers the best "value" in a roller would be happily received.
Since the Summer is ending, I may have to put this on hold until May when I can attend the Carlisle show and see some of these fine cars in person. Any vendors out there with real cars to see, I would be glad to get a PM and I can Drive/fly out to take a look. Thanks.
