Here is a good deal on one with all the correct parts, ZF trans and stack injection. Lots of little modifications to make it look more like and original, too. Replica Kit Makes CAV GT40 MK1 White | eBay

Hi Eric, Saw your post on a CAV GT40. I own a beautiful stainless monoque CAV, Chassis #1 actually, so it has a kevlar carbon fiber shell. #1 and #2 were built this way, then the remaining have all been fiberglass. Ours is bark metallic blue, stack fuel injection, proper ZF trans. I can be...

Hi Ron, I have a very nice CAV GT40 I may consider selling. I am in California. Car is mono chassis #1, yes #1. It has been updated, has a proper ZF transaxle, a crate 302, and a properly tuned stack injection. A few custom touches along the lines of the original cars so it has a cold air...

Cool stamps. I also have one that was signed by Dan Gurney. No idea what it may be worth. Someone gave it to me years ago.

I have a hammer that belonged to my great great grandfather. I replaced the handle a couple of times and had to replace the head once. Best hammer I've ever owned. Seriously though, I have an axle off of a covered wagon that I bought from guy at a garage sale who said his father gave it to...

Hi Ian. It seems Howard always has his party on opening weekend for deer season. Missed it the last two times because of that. My CAV has changed a lot since last time I was there. Biggest change was finding a very nice condition ZF box. Did the whole differental flip, found a CAV ZF bell...

Still have both of mine. CAV mono #1 and a '73 Pantera. Owned the Pantera first, but really wanted a GT40. Two similar but very different cars.

Hi Ian, I did not get a chance to dig up better photos last night. I scoured the web finding as many pictures of original cars as I could before designing my system. Car can be easily jacked up from the jacking pads. I have yet to build the quick lift jack. I have all my cad files and my...

Hi guys, I built a complete rear sub frame in stainless for CAV mono #1. Let's just say it was a lot of work. All parts were CAD designed and laser cut in Stainless. It follows the original layout pretty well while designed for a CAV. I found some pretty big issues with tolerances between...

Veek, CAV mono #1 is safe and sound in sitting in my shop. I bought this car from Bob Lacy back in 2002 I believe. It is pretty much standard early CAV mono spec except for the bodywork. Mono's #1 and #2 were carbon fiber composits as I was told when I purchased it. The factory was having...

I would like to attend as well and even have a new paint job on the GT40, but since the party date is always right in the middle of deer season I will have to miss it once again. Have fun guys and take lots of pictures.

I look for the MKII style louver roof vent on the MKI body as a clue. The plastic eyebrows or aero fairings are another give-away. One last item I look at is the body work leading into the radiator area. Original cars are very well finished in this area while most of the replicas, including...

The Tekonsha Prodigy is an inertial design, and from my research it is currently considered by most RV trailer forums as about the best electric brake controller available. I just purchased one for a Ford Excursion that I use as a tow vehicle for an 8,000 pound travel trailer and also a horse...

Glider pilot rating. Longest flight time of 7 1/2 hours off a 2500 ft tow. Boy, did I have to take a leak after that flight!

I have been thinking about building some quick jack pads for my CAV GT and was wondering if anyone has attempted this. I have access to a laser cutter and could run off a few sets if I had a decent pattern. If someone can trace an original for the front or rear I would take it from there. If...

I was curious what some of you guys have done for door locks. My CAV GT has no way to lock the door, and it looks as though some of the Roaring Forties cars have a key lock on the outside of the door. Any ideas? Thanks.

Neal, What is the McMaster part number?

Jack, Let us all know how the car looks. The web site looks pretty good, but as I recall the wait for delivery after placing your order was one year.

By fabricating a cold air box around the carburators or fuel injection system the air being forced into the upper scoops could only go into the intake. The engine can only pull so much air, leaving the area above the box with a positive pressure. Once the air box is pressurized, then no more...
