Re: You won\'t Believe This Ebay Item Anyone know where I can get my hands on one of those 6-speed ZFs that Ford used in the Sixties? Must be quite rare.

Speed Channel's program guide indicates their coverage of this year's event--which featured Chaparrals and Road Racing Specials, but had several GT40s on track--will air from 7 - 9 p.m., CST, on September 10.

[ QUOTE ] Maybe the "plates were destroyed" should be on www.urbanlegend.com or was used to drive original values up? [/ QUOTE ] Could be...it probably was one of the factors that caused me to bankrupt myself for my first edition...

Ben, thanks for noting the correct year in Amazon's estimate. I've pre-ordered it so many times that I guess I don't even really look at when they think it will be issued. Frankly I'll be surprised if they don't cancel my order again in a few months, if they don't think it will be printed for...

I sprung for a first edition a couple of years ago, nearly had to take out a loan to do it. Great, great book though. I was pleased I did it a few months later when I had the great fortune to sit with Phil Remington at Monterey while he looked through it. He had never seen the book, or many...

It's an Avenger--a GT40-ish kit made by a company called Fiberfab. VW chassis...

Congrats, Jim! Love the Maranello Concessionaires paint. To say you are fortunate is to engage in the drollest of understatement--

Glad you weighed in. I wasn't glad to drag you into the discourse but I don't like to see people impugned when they don't even know it. The effete keepers of information over there make me so unhappy I have difficulty assembling a cogent response.

There is a topic on Atlas F1 that you may feel calls for comment. See e.g. towards the bottom of page two... http://forums.atlasf1.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=76989&pagenumber=2

Re: I definitely WON\'T be getting a Ford GT now I'll still pine for one, at least until the press release announcing that they're using JB Weld on them.

Chris, Please give Matt (427 Aggie) a good deal. He's saving his pennies for a "real" one and shouldn't be worrying about art, but he can't help himself. Bob

I have not seen it since Gary bought it last year (he lives over four hours away) but I understand he has been hard at work really refining this car. Having seen the Cobras he's owned in the past and knowing Gary's penchant for perfection, I'm sure he's got this '40 polished like a fine...

Ben, I received the plates yesterday. They are a great value and I appreciate the prompt service-- Bob

Re: Hey, I\'m famous ! Simon, I hope your car is healing well. The pictures on that site make me ill. Of course, as with driving past a traffic accident that doesn't mean I didn't look at all of them. I wonder what the repair bill for the new Ford GT was? Guess it didn't take long for...

Ben, I just sent you an email about ordering a set, and will send you a PayPal payment momentarily. Thanks! Bob

I thought the green was just a photographic illusion until I noticed in the description that the car is a "Teal" Safir MkV. They ought to put some air in the rear tires before taking pictures.

There is a photo out there that shows the rental car sitting on the bottom of the pool. I want to say it's in one of Dave Friedman's books but it could have appeared in an article in Vintage Motorsport magazine. It happened at the Mark Thomas Inn in Monterey, CA. When I was a teenager my...

Ken, Thanks for the pictures. I find the descriptions of the Nassau races fascinating--intense competition mixed with intense partying. I've seen Listers with many different powerplants but I don't think I've seen one with a Ford, so if you have any shots, I would love it if you would share...
