Re: GT40 Brochure, 1970s reprint: A good price? Anyone know of a reprint currently available in the states?

Now that is an amazing bit of trivia. I've looked at dozens of pics of the new GT, and 3 in person and never noticed the "100" headlights.

Re: New titles - let\'s have the suggestions! If it's possible, I'd like the "title" to reflect how long you've been a member rather than number of posts. I've been here a good while but as a wannabe I have little to contribute on a daily basis, and my post count reflects that.

Re: Anonymous guy\'s I'm another one guilty of not logging in all the time. I tend to post only if I have something to contribute (not often as I'm a wannabe) or have a question (more often).

Re: Ford\'s new Saleen S7 vs. RF / CAV/ERA GT40 I understand the carbon fiber body panels cost US$100,000. That's pretty pricey even if it weighs almost nothing.

I've been away for a month and a half (new baby daughter!) and look what I've almost missed. Chris I'm interested but price is a factor. I prefer coated and machined.

Wow, my tastes are quite a bit simpler than most here. After a GT40 replica (which I'm still working towards... but not there yet) my next project will be to find and restore a 65-66 Ford F250 crew cab pickup. I figure I need something from the same era to haul it to track days. After all...

Was browsing Ford.com and found a site for the new Ford GT. Includes specs on the concept car and some decent "historical" pics. Check it out here: http://www.fordvehicles.com/fordgt/home.asp

Thanks Danster, post prices when you can. It is important to note if we're talking bare heads or not. A lot of parts for these heads may be very hard to find so if they're not included we may need to get a "lead" on them before buying. An appropriate intake manifold, valve covers, and...

Yes, just how much is "expensive"? Do they come assembled? With valve covers?

I've just finished reading Trevor Legate's excellent book on the GT40 and I have some questions about the 427 engines used in the LeMans cars fielded by Shelby American and Holman Moody. The book states that the '66 spec cars were using a 485bhp engine that weighed 550lbs. The '67 MkIV...

The red one (#1033?) looks sweet! Wonder if white "Shelby" stripes would improve it any or take away?
