Re: TOP TEN QUESTIONS VIRGIN GT40 NEWBIES SHOULDN\'T ASK- Newbie Question: What size wheels should I get for my GT40? Jim

The reason ERA GT40 cars sell for more at resale is that they cost more to begin with. Also the fact that there is a long wait to get one has a bit to do with it too. As others have stated there are parallels between the used finished Cobra kit car market and hot rod market as it is to the used...

In the car game it is referred to as "Re-sale Red". Red just makes a sports car look like a sports car. But I also agree with the comment that any GT40 looks good in any color. Jim

Shouldn't this thread be under the "All GT40" section? This is nothing but a website for scale model cars. I don't see why this is in the "Cars and Parts" section.

I had a 1968 Corvette that had a nice locking strut for keeping the hood locked in the open position. It might be of interest if you want to check it out. Jim Seisser

Ford has no idea what they have got. This is not a Mustang. Look how they destroyed the market for their new Thunderbird. There is not a market for 3000 Ford GT's over a 3 year period. As he dealership the best thing you can do is to get a buyer for the car and have an agreement with the buyer...

I agree. It is a very good magazine. A lot of good tech articles most of the time. If you are a hands-on kind of person or a racer want-to-be then you will enjoy this magazine. Jim Seisser

Going with a reproduction or the new Ford GT is a good question. How bad do you want the car? Do you really want to pay over list price for one? Why even pay list price? Yes, everyone wants a new Ford GT but is there really a market for a thousand of these cars at $135,000 to $150,000 each, list...

I just got a new book called, Ford GT40, Production & Racing History, Individual Chassis Record by Trevor Legate. This book was first published in 2001 and this is the revised and reprinted 2003 book. I don't have the 2001 version so I can't compare the two. This 2003 book was on back order...

Well I think you have to ask yourself why Ford had a dealers only showing. If you want to buy a new Ford GT you don't drive to Dearborn and just pick one up. You get one through a dealership. You either plunk down a down payment and the dealership orders a car for you and then you wait for it to...

Re: MK-IV\'s in Road and Track I heard Steve Saline give a speech on the S7 when it first came out. The engine is based off the 351 Ford Windsor engine "design" but nothing in the engine, not even the block is a factory Ford component.

I think we will have to agree on a few things for this weight contest. At what point do we stop making our predictions? What weight are we talking about? Does this include a full tank of fuel? Are there any options offered on this car? What do you think? I about a month on June 16 th. Ford is...

I saw an article on the Noble in the English magazine "Performance Ford" and I have been eyeing it ever since. Unfortunately it isn't sold here in the U.S. Perhaps some day I'll get to see one in person. I hear it is awesome. I'd love to get some sales literature on the Noble. I'd be more than...

GT40's can be built by a first timer but is this really what you want to do? How much are you going to have into ($$$) this vehicle when you are done? It is going to take you how many years to finish your project? You want to take this car on track? If you want a road race car why not buy a...
