Back in the 80's we saw Safir MK V's being built. GT40 mkV - 1116 was a white with blue striped car. If it came through, I have attached a picture of it. It appears to have a steel colored plate over the engine. Also the 1967 MK IV Ford racecars had the slider type of side window opening as you...
The GT40 racecar in Jac Mac's photo with the Hewland caption is AM GT 40/1. It has the prototype aluminum body on it. The engine is a 427 weber carb engine. At the time this photo was taken Holman-Moody owned the car. They were not racing the car. It was being used as a test car for the 427 and...
Anyone know a source for the aluminum, louvered material used on the early, original GT40 rear louver panels? (Panel on each side of the exhaust outlet with 9-10 vertical rows of 1" wide louvers, as fitted to 1002, 1003, 1004, 1017, 1026, etc).

All very interesting. Ford GT40 Restoration - Chassis 1040
Would you have any documentation of my GT 40 at the 1966 LeMans trials. AM GT 40/1 with the Alan Mann team. Or any data as my car was listed in a few places as a spare for the race. I know it did not run the race event. I can pay you for any costs and for your efforts.
Thanks, Rex
You are correct on the 2008 date. I know a prior owner of the real 1040 said it's for sale again (and I've had other people tell me the same). The 1059 ad on the Anamera site is old too, but it's still actively for sale.
Bottom line: it doesn't hurt to be on the alert for fake GT40's. It...
