    Removeable side windows

    Gary I believe DRB's window arrangement is essentially same as the MK III. Despite what the above photo shows, I'm pretty sure the whole deal is an assembly that inserts into the existing MK 1 door. That said...its NOT cheap. A sliding plexi window (see original MK IV photos) would be...

    Sabre (with a bit left to do)

    I have no problem with cash only on a vehicle sale. No one is going to use Paypal for a large purchase. Actually I prefer a bank to bank transfer for anything beyond $ 10k. As a buyer you should see the car in person at pickup PRIOR to forking over the money. If you buy any hi-value item...

    GT40 versus Bugatti Veyron

    Tizzy The MK II and MK IV GT40s were geared for 220 mph down the Mulsanne at Lemans. But I don't know if they ever reached that speed. MikeD

    Prices on a 016

    Do not pay $ 650 for a hi-mileage 016....they can be shipped for under $ 200. There should still be plenty in boneyards on the left coast. MikeD

    Sabre (with a bit left to do)

    Actually Ian I think you just did.... Rick Merz was as nice a spaceframe as they come....and he sold it (after a long try) around $ 65k. IMHO anyone who gets more than that on a spaceframe should consider themselves very fortunate. MikeD

    DRB # 49

    Thanks Guys I checked USA E-Bay and there are some 323 motors for sale cheap. None of them look like mine....but they're cheap enough so I bought a few and hopefully one will fit/work. Jac Mac...the breakers by me have crushed most wreaks older than 1990. They have limited space, and...

    GT40 Australia Chassis #64

    Re: Chassis #64 due in July The GT40 is so pretty that IMHO it shows well in nearly any color. The tougher decision is whether to stripe...how wide...what color. Those combinations will drive you batty ! MikeD

    RCR Visit, March 13, 2007

    I could be all wet...but I suspect most SPF customers are looking to get in and drive ASAP and have the extra cash to make it happen.....while most of Fran's customers are interested in participating in the build process.... and are more willing to exchange sweat equity for cash. I'm not...

    DRB # 49

    Thanks Pinky I did not use the DRB column....I installed an Aftermarket and am using my own switches. The actuator rods and pivots are already in place, so I really don't want to convert to Lucas style cable drive $$$. It would really be nice if I could come up with a similar motor in...

    DRB # 49

    I spent nearly all Winter on the wiring...combination of insufficient will power...ice cold concrete floor...and my back hating to crawl under the dash. Anyway it's done and I'm now testing the circuits, and of course I've hit a snag....the wiper motor doesn't work. It was supplied by...

    Edumacate me on SPF-CAV-RCR?

    Continuation/serialization issue aside.....SPF is easily the most "true" replica out there ...if for other other reason than the steel roof. That's not to say it's the BEST replica...because as we've tried to make PERFECTLY CLEAR....that's a personal choice based on individual needs...

    The John O'Quinn Collection !!!

    How many caught this morning's episode of Dream Car Garage? They visited Houston Attorney John O'Quinn's collection of 800 cars including a fleet or rare classics, sports cars, muscle cars etc etc. This MAY be the greatest collection in the USA. What's ironic is that as a personal injury...

    Edumacate me on SPF-CAV-RCR?

    Hi Charlie Welcome. I agree...all three options mentioned are great choices. And if you have the ability to buy a turnkey...that's even better since it gets you on the road sooner. My suggestion is to get a ride in each of the three before making a decision. Being in So Cal I believe...

    Baseball Card sells for $ 2.35 million

    I see that a So Cal collector paid $ 2.35 million at auction for one of the famous Honus Wagner tobacco baseball cards. As a typical American young lad...I had a large collection of baseball cards, which ended up being trashed by my sister one day when she was mad at me. But none of the...
