Happy Birthday to Ray, the GTD 40 Godfather .

Rod you are mistaken. The Paddock is not a politics forum. It is a place for all things other than car stuff. Things like jokes, interesting pictures, interesting travels etc. It has become a home for disgruntled, politically disappointed jerks who fill the Paddock with their drivel and boring...

All of you GTD 40 followers who remember the good old days with the Poole/ Manchester lads will remember Graham as a helpful, friendly and funny guy who was Rays right hand. Unfortunately he has lost his battle with cancer. He was at home with his wife Mary and his step daughter last night when...

My GTD40 Show/Track car is for sale. I have enjoyed this car both on the track and on grand tours to the Los Angeles area and up to Seattle and Mount Rainer. The twin electric outside rear view mirrors, cruise control and A/C make this a very nice road car and the 325 hp Ford small block makes...

I decided it was time to test the GTD40's mettle on the open road and as a "Grand Touring" car. My wife and I used our custom luggage for packing (2 Walmart bags stuffed into the door pockets) and headed off to the Seattle area from the San Francisco Bay Area for a long weekend with our...

I was just talking with a friend in Shepparton, Vic.. He tells me that he has just recently seen a white GT40 with black or dark blue stripe driving around town. Is this anyone here on the forum? If so I would like to see some pictures.

The rubber mountings used to hold the Steering Rack Assembly in place on my GTD need to be replaced. Can anyone help me in identifying them so I can buy replacement Rubber mounts?

I have been told that there are water passages in the heads of a 289 that do not have openings onto the earlier (1965-66) blocks. My understanding is that there is a template for locating the right position to drill these openings into the block and improve cooling. Anyone familiar with this...

Anyone out there know who in the US might carry repair kits for these slave cylinder units. I have a Lucas part number SP 9917 but can't find a supplier here. The transaxle is a 5 speed Renault.

This is a pretty cool little mouse with lights that work and it fits the hand nicely.

Anyone know the part number for the CV joints used on the GTD halfshafts?

I think that the rear carrier bearings are from a 1988/89 Merkur Scorpio but am not sure. Does anyone out there have a part number, bearing id number or know for sure what was used on the GTD original steel carrier with disc brakes?

I bit the bullet and bought the elctric mirrors off of a Chrysler Crossfire. I think thet look like they were made for the car. Now comes the hard part - wiring them up to the control switch.

Please review the attached pictures and identify from the attached pictures. Is this an ERA?

just a practice run for the big bash at Howards next Saturday. If you can play with these toys you will never get old!

I have a friend who has a GTD/KVA kit. He has made many modifications to it but has never tackled the body, wiring and finish work. The car has Wilwood brakes, ZF tranny and modified 289. He has finally come to the realization that he will never have the time to finish this project. It is a...
