If you spend money on paint, put 3M clear bra on the front clip, both rocker panels and a few other strategic places on the car. My car has 19,000 miles on it and the paint still looks new. JP, we're all jealous that you married a gearhead. I should have given that one more thought....

I think Karl Wood hit the nail on the head.

I'd go with Terminator X. Great system.

Welcome to the forum, Bart. Lots of Superformance owners here whose experience you'll benefit from. Good luck with your purchase.

Just before Covid, Jim survived the Shadow's backflip on the straight at Road America.

I was not aware that Jim Pace had passed away due to COVID back in November of 2020. He was only 59 when he passed. Jim was a well respected driver for several decades, participating in events such as the 24 hours of Daytona and at Le Mans. Jim was active in various historic racing events and...

Luis, have you visited Fran's shop in Fraser, MI? His shop is currently open for visitors. If you haven't made that trip, I'd encourage you to schedule a visit since I think it would be really helpful for you.

Glad to hear you used Prestige, Eric. Their three year warranty is also excellent.

Thanks to Ron and everyone who has built and maintained this site. It's been a great resource as I've enjoyed my GT40 over the last seven years.

This MKI received a bid for $170k today at Mecum but it didn't meet the reserve price. Nice to see the value of these cars holding or increasing. Auctions like this are usually not the best place to sell a GT40, but the Monterey auction is probably the strongest event for Mecum.

Thanks for sharing that, Chris.

Kristian, I believe that anyone who owns a GT40 should customize it to their taste, especially if they intend to hold on to it and enjoy it for a number of years. Hillbank's Future 40 has a great look, but from what I can tell they've been unable to sell it for quite a while. The price is...

I had Goodrich T/A radials for about six months, then switched to Avon CR6ZZs. I've got 20,000 street miles on them, and they're excellent. I would never switch to anything else.

Chris, I use silencers similar to these that are attached to my megaphones. I think something similar is used in the IMSA racing series. Works really well and doesn't detract from the look of a GT40. https://burnsstainless.com/collections/mufflers-and-collectors/products/1-stage-race-muffler

It's a sad state of affairs, for sure.

That looks like more than $30k in damage. Despite 20,000 miles on my SPF, my last speeding ticket was in 1976. I'm trying to keep that record intact.

Hey Rick. I'll take a set of the silicone seal kit. Looks much better than SPF's black foam!

About four years ago I installed this system on my SPF Mk1. The camera is mounted on the license plate and it works really well. The video image is displayed via a local WiFi network on my iPhone via an app called SightWiFi. Makes backing up into parking spaces super easy. I highly recommend...

Very true. But maybe $8 million (rough estimate of the current value of the three cars) - $272,000 still results in a profit of $7.7 million today. Anyway, one can only dream.

Someone sent me the advertisement below from 1966. Look at what your Dad could have purchased for a combined total of less than $33,000. I'd say that might have been a good investment.
