This video was posted a few days ago. Documents the current work being undertaken by Paul Whitlock and the Holman Moody team on their continuation GT40 MKII builds. Paul has undertaken most of the work on my SPF MKI over the years. It's nice to live in Charlotte where there is so much support...

I was not aware that Jim Pace had passed away due to COVID back in November of 2020. He was only 59 when he passed. Jim was a well respected driver for several decades, participating in events such as the 24 hours of Daytona and at Le Mans. Jim was active in various historic racing events and...

This MKI received a bid for $170k today at Mecum but it didn't meet the reserve price. Nice to see the value of these cars holding or increasing. Auctions like this are usually not the best place to sell a GT40, but the Monterey auction is probably the strongest event for Mecum.

Someone sent me the advertisement below from 1966. Look at what your Dad could have purchased for a combined total of less than $33,000. I'd say that might have been a good investment.

About six months ago I installed a new 363 stroker engine from Prestige Motorsports in my GT40. They're located in Concord, NC, and I can't say enough positive things about them. Check them out at https://www.prestigemoto.com. I know that Dennis Olthoff is also using them for many of the...

If you've not seen this, it's a great video of the Lola Mk6.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, my SPF radiator ended its life due to corrosion that could not be repaired. I called Superformance in Irvine, CA and was quoted a price of $1,900. That inspired me to take the radiator to a company here in Charlotte that builds radiators and oil coolers for...

My current insurance company, Infinity Insurance, is existing the classic car business. As I'm looking at alternatives, I also want to increase my agreed upon value. My current policy is at $136,000, and I'm thinking it should be closer to $175,000 at this point. The companies I'm considering...

The following video was posted to YouTube today showing the GT40 that Ken Miles drove at LeMans in 1966. Some nice shots of that car as well as others.

Paul Whitlock is in the process of installing a new engine for me. While we're making that change, Paul suggested that we replace the internal slave cylinder in my ZF transmission with the original type shaft and fork throw out bearing assembly with external slave cylinder. Pictures of the...

Paul Whitlock removed my original engine today and we're going to be upgrading to a 363 Ford Dart block engine being built by Prestige Motorsports in Concord, NC. Should generate 500hp out of the new engine and it will be a nice upgrade. Will still be running my Borla Eight Stack system with...

If anyone is planning to be in the Denver area on August 31, this would be an awesome event to attend.
