Welcome Fernando -

Great to see you have an interest in the GT40 and that your studies are automotive related. You will find everyone on here very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful to any questions you might have.

Do use the search facility as many many common questions have been covered already although we always welcome new discussion.

Finally, feel free to post a few pictures here of your ride and trust me, your English is far better than my Spanish.:embarassed:

Welcome Fernando. Very happy to have you on the forum. Argentina has a great history of automotive racing and interest. Again, welcome!

Hi Fernando,

Nice to have you. Argentina makes the lovely Pur Sang, Bugatti replicas from the 1930s. These are virtually exact replicas of the original, built by people that worked with the originals.

Here is the link:

Wish I had enough space (and money) to purchase one of each !!!

Best

Hola Fernando,
Estamos aqui en Florida Central. Mi esposa nacio en Mendoza y nos casamos en Mar del Plata hace unos 35 anos cuando yo fui alla para trabajar. Todavia tenemos familia alla en San Isidro, Mar del Plata y Mendoza.
En que parte vives?
Es una lastima que no te dejan construir autos. Nosotros tenemos una replica del GT40. Yo no lo hize. No tengo el talento para hacerlo. Compramos hecho y esta casi perfecto. Tiene un motor hecho por el compania de carreras Roush. El tomano es 402 p.c. y una potencia de 430 caballos. Vos no sabes que rapido que es! Desde 0 hasta 120 km/h en 4.0 segundos. Si queres mirarlo toca este direccion; http://www.gt40s.com/forum/video-pictures-buffet/21558-show-me-your-40-a-2.html#post219280 Un foto contiene mi hijo y yo.
Hace 35 anos cuando yo vivi en Mar del Plata, yo conoci el Torino. Lo recuerdo el modelo del ano '73 muy bien y si, parace mucho el Rambler de aca. Yo tenia un amigo que tenia uno. El parte comico fue que en este mismo tiempo yo tenia un Torino Ford '72 en los estados unidos y cuando yo dije a mis amigos que yo tenia un Torino, yo tenia que explicar las diferencia.
Bueno, que bien que encontraste este sitio. Hay mucha informacion del GT40. La gente son muy amables y quieren contestar y ayudar con cualquier problema.
Perdoname el castellano, pero vivi en Argentina para 8 meses solamente y estoy perdiendo el poco que aprendi!
Mucho gusto y buena suerte.
Chau,
Mike
