Yup, sorry for any delay in updating this thread. The Gt40 was sold to a very nice gentleman in Wisconsin. Coordinating delivery right now. I think it was a great buy, course I am biased, but also pretty darn aware of all its attributes. The new project car (930) should arrive in a few weeks...

Rick, The car is in Ft Myers, FL.

Thanks Cliff, great idea, but a little shy on sending it from FL to the other coast. Hey Jonathan and rstallare, here are a few photos, I will try to get some better pics in tomorrows daylight. The knob on the dash to the far left is a lean/rich Airfuel control connected to the SDS Engine...

Hi All, I need to move this sale along. I can post additional pics or email them to you. I have a excellant covered transporter that I can arrange delivery at $.95/mile. I am also willing to reduce the price to $67,000. This is a good deal. Most of you know that the parts alone usually exceed...

Hey Sabbath, The car is registered as a 1966 but built in 2004.

DRB (GT40 Australia) 1966 Ford GT40 Great news for anyone interested in a well sorted out GT40. After some difficult deliberation, I have decided to put my baby up for sale. I currently have another project car in progress and cannot support two dream cars. This is a stunning red GT40...

Hi Joel, The diff is not a LSD. It serial number is G5001 1J02677. Is that even a modification that would be possible or worthwhile for a diff mainly on the street with limited track days? I have been speaking with Rodger at Orbit and hopefully he will be taking it apart very soon and going...

Thanks Lynn and John, I am looking to buy another G50/01 and had been watching this auction. I had asked the seller some similar questions and no response so far. Great heads up on this seller. Seems kinda high b.i.n. price for an G50/01 doesn't it? Colin got my current one for $1,700...

JM, I am finally ready to address the rebuild and was looking at buying a G50/01 and rebuilding it, then swapping with the G50/01 in the car to avoid too much down time. My question then becomes whether I should take the opportunity to change to a stronger transaxle like a G50/50 or 52...

Hi Brian, try trimlok.com They have a great selection of trim to fit your application. I just had some samples and a catalog sent and they look great. They have both the sigle lock and two piece lock designs as these pictures may help.

For drilling plexiglass (lexan), I have had a lot of luck with the drill bit shown in the pic, (assumining I uploaded correctly). I call it a step bit, but I am sure that is not the name of this type of bit. This bit is graduated sequentially from small size to next larger increment and is not a...

JM, Thanks for your input, and I value your opinion with your background and interests in G50's. Can you give an idea of what you would normally replace in a typical rebuild and some budgets for these items or anything else you would do if it was yours. Thanks for the lead on Orbit, I will...

Chris, Thanks for the response, sounds like you have quite a lot of experience and time watching these G50's. I hope some others chime in as well. Great photo of the brace and yes, mine is braced similarily. With DRB's motor mounts and braces, the whole engine/trans seems rock solid. TC

I am in Ft Myers, Florida, thankyou. Do you attend or aware of any GT40 related events anywhere here in Florida? (sorry, again off topic but post was actually just to make everyone aware of a new clutch for sale cheap)
