Frank, Fran will give you great guidance, but if he doesn't mention this, I would also like to suggest that you also check the diameter of your front tires. I had the same issue and when we took all things into consideration, we found that the front tires that were spec'd by the original owner...

Exact same tires on the restored P1032, the car that was featured in Motor Trend Classics magazine. That article containing these photos is where I first found out about their existence.

They are a Bias Ply, Non-DOT tire, requiring inner tubes. They truly are a 48 year-old design. Again, caution should be noted as I have no reports on the strength and wearability of these replicas. On close inspection, they appear to be very well moulded and they balanced very nicely...

Ron, The non-lettered tires are the Avons that were previously on the car. Sorry that my post wasn't clear on that point. These are before and after pictures showing the size difference between the original specified Firestone tires and the Avons that are commonly used by many SPF owners...

After a very long wait, I finally acquired a complete set of the Firestone Gold Line Indy tires that Coker Tire is making in very limited quantities. Coker acquired the original specs and drawings from Firestone and is constructing them with modern materials...they are also "tubed". They...

Randy, Wow..that was a short-term period of ownership. The car was at Steve's shop for months. Did you ever get to drive it?

Very happy with the cable shifter in my Lola that was sourced by RCR from these guys: Cable-Shift - Products

The film is titled "1". The trailer is on this Facebook Page. https://www.facebook.com/1thefilm

A new video landed with great footage of the SPF GT40s. Well done, Lance and team! Superformance GT40: A Ford Legend, Evolved - YouTube

Someone else posted another video of my car... After seeing (hearing) this, all I can say is: I'm so damn happy with the results! 66 Ford GT in Austin #2 - YouTube

If you listen to the Cars and Coffee video again, you will hear a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera a few cars away start up right before me. Definitely a limp linguini in comparison.

I had a Roush 427 IR stroker in my Daytona Coupe. Granted, the engines were in much different cars, but the FE seems to have a deeper rumbling tone, but that's probably more in my head than in my ears. Here's my car with the original SPF mufflers for comparison. Definitely a lame sound for...

I followed Mike from Nederland's (MHNCO) lead and ditched the over-silenced mufflers provided by Superformance from the factory. The engine is 427FE big block, now with 3" tapering to 4" megaphones. I added a set of Dynatech Vortex insert cones in a futile attempt to be socially responsible...

Keeping with the Scottish theme...Anyone seen US comedian Robin Williams' bit on the Scotsman who invented golf? For your viewing pleasure: Robin Williams - Robin Williams - Golf (full version)

Rick, Thanks for the photos. It's nice to have the "before and after" versions. She looks a lot different now...

Add me to the list of remorseful buyers. I am still kicking myself in the ass for taking the McLaren/Amon replica Lance had in stock and not waiting and ordering a RHD. I wanted that livery, but I have come to the conclusion that I severely compromised the potential to closely replicate the...

Re: Racing Setup? A minor clarification is warranted here: The only reason an F1 car does not exceed 200MPH on the back straight at COTA is due to gearing. You will see in this qualifying lap of last year's race that Vettel reached maximum speed at the imposed redline a full 5 seconds...

If you end up selecting Superformance and were thinking of an FE big block version, you might want to test fit one first because the big block engine encroaches into the cockpit. The firewall and seat back must be moved forward to clear the pulleys.

No one has mentioned the actual source yet. Fran, are these from Aircraft Windshield, Inc. in California...the company you recommended that did my Lola windscreens and light covers?

I have coverage from classic collectors.com. Very reasonable. "0" deductible comprehensive for windscreens and the like, plus a 24/7 roadside assistance plan if your car flames out or gets a flat. The policy holder is Infinity.
