CAV #123 - Gordo.

Congratulations Chuck! Sweeet! When you find the right counselor, please let me know. Maybe we can get a volume discount! I need help too! Gordon.

Thank you for an informative post. Gordo

Having put about 7500 miles on a GT - in my opinion it is one of the easiest high performance cars to drive. It's almost as docile as a minivan if you want it to be. Stomp on it and it's an animal. No handling problems at all. I've run about 2,000 hard track miles without so much as a a wiggle...

Patrick, Welcome! I am lucky to own a Ford GT and a CAV GT40. Both great cars but they are very different – but I love each of them for their own special merits. The GT40 is a great car, beautifully done but really is a re-creation of 1960’s design and technology. I’m sure the fit and finish...

It's official...I can now join the registery. Gordon King CAV # 123 Gulf livery Ford racing 302 /347 Audi 6 speed trans BRM 15" wheels Car location: Cape Town, South Africa.

Weather there is good for driving 90% of the time. Seasons are reversed from here. Roads are great and topography can be very diverse. I'll be back in Feb. for the Vintage race in Cape Town where Divid Piper will race his original GT40 we hope. David is the guy who drove one of the camera cars...

At long last, I took delivery of CAV GT - chasis number 123. A re-creation of the 1969 Rodriguez/Oliver car. (302 / 347 – 450 bhp / Audi 6-speed trans) What a beauty. Superb craftsmanship. exquisite detail. extraordinary attention to detail and flawless execution. Hats off to the whole CAV...

Sorry if this seems a silly question...but how to I paste into a new thread? I am trying to post but a right mouse click does not reveal the usual "paste" option. Nor is there one on the tool bar? Is this restricted on this forum? Gordo

Now that's a very tough question. Both cars have individual personalities and should be viewed for what they are. Both excellent in what they represent. Different yes, but not one better than the other. I'm lucky enough to own a GT (Gulf, of course) and soon will take delivery of a CAV GT40. A...

Congratulations Congratulations Joe. Great car. Be sure to visit the Ford GT Forum. We just had our first rally in Dearborn last week. Spectacular event. Read all about it on the Forum. By the way - there are several Atlanta area memebrs. Looks like you'll have quite a group to hang out with...

Reply I was at the GT rally last week and a fellow from New Zeeland told me that the car was a "tube frame" racer with a GT body. Not thought of too highly I was told. Gordo.

Chuck, I just got back too. I prefer the cold to this 98 degree heat and humidity right now. I have a house in Betty's Bay - 1 hour east of Cape Town. The CAV will stay in the Cape for when I visit. The Ford GT (Gulf):bow: does the trick when in SC. Gordo.

Mid-November in Cape Town! Plan a hectic drive around Chapman's Peak, Ou Kaapse Weg and then out to Gordon's Bay and Clarence Drive to Betty's Bay and Kleinmond! :) Gordo.

Hi All, New member here. Just visited the CAV factory in Cape Town where I ordered chasis #123. I was very impressed by the attention to detail and thoroughness of the whole operation. I've been hanging around race tracks and fab shops for a long time -- these guys know their stuff. Can't wait...
