Well, since the answer wasn't too clear about this sale thing, I just called him and asked him. He said it's always been for sale, but no one has been willing to pay his $10 million asking price. hahaha He had no idea who it was that created that "for sale" thread in this link 1965...

On another thread here somewhere, I think there are some pretty detailed engine pics, or you could as an LA. local to stop by and take some.

ahhh...feel much better knowing the truth read this on another GT40 forum: http://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/showthread.php?20426-1965-Works-Prototype-Ford-GT40-Roadster They're claiming #009 is for sale.

Saw somewhere on the world wide internets that Dean Jeffries' #009 roadster had been put up for sale? IS it for sale? Has it ALREADY sold? What's the scoop? (no pun intended) thnx

Jay, wasn't sure if you knew it or not, but he lost Row, his beloved wife, last September. Of all the things I admire the man for, his dedication and love for his wife stand above all others. Far more significant than art, talent, and an obsession for cars, there's was truly a love story...

Yes, it's historically wrong, but thank goodness it's in the hands of Dean Jefferies who can make a correction and make it right, if and when he ever decided to. He's "that kind of guy".

Thanks for the pics. There's a new book published about Dean which is on the shelves now. Quite a bit of ink devoted to GT40 #109 with several pics, pgs 148-151. Although I'm not interested in getting credit for it, I did, however, make the initial phone calls to Ford alerting them that Dean...

Talked to Dean again today, and he still has the Roadster and three engines for it, 2 of the Ford Indy V8's (pics in the gallery link below) and a correct 289 for it. The car's been finished for awhile now and is sitting in his shop in Hollywood. I also found this gallery of pics from the...

Re: First Post....Re: Dean Jefferies\' GT40 Roadste Thanks, Cobraownr, I concur. "As neither 108 or 109 have much of a race history as far as I can remember, any increment of value above a standard Mk I GT40 would have to come from their unique configuration. I think that this contrasts with...

Re: First Post....Re: Dean Jefferies\' GT40 Roadster So, gentlemen, just how rare and valuable are the GT40 roadsters? I don't know of anyone more qualified to make that assessment than those on this forum. And how many are known to exist? I've heard Ford has one in their possession, and...

I'd just like to chime in and say during my 10 years in the auto finance business the manager of my county's auto license division has been on my "Christmas card" list. If ya wanna slide, ya gotta grease.

Re: First Post....Re: Dean Jefferies\' GT40 Roadster WHOOOO HOOOO!!!! <font color="blue"> THANKS A MILLION! </font> (speaking of a million, Jefferies has to date turned down all offers for his roadster and plans to include it in his estate for his family)

Re: First Post....Re: Dean Jefferies\' GT40 Roadster Found this in the Atlas F1 Nostalgia forum. Looks kind of forelorn with morning dew on it, doesn't it?
