Re: CAV Wide Body No. 104 Lemans Blue I used my Nikon SLR with one remote flash. It was an overcast morning about 9am. The commercial garage I used has rooftop parking and a pale grey surface with the lines kind of faded out. Works out well. But last time I went there with another car the...

Re: CAV Wide Body No. 104 Lemans Blue The car is still for sale. Long distance tire kickers so far. Hemmings isn't the best site for these kinds of cars. Oh well I'm in no hurry. My minor maintenance has been a new clutch and slave cylinder. The real "project" was replacing the CAV rubber fuel...

Re: CAV Wide Body No. 104 Lemans Blue The world of car registration and title can be obscure and different from one place to the next. Wherever the car goes it will be registered and titled with the numbers it has now or else it will be registered and titled based on its original CAV cert of...

Re: CAV Wide Body No. 104 Lemans Blue It has an original 1965 license plate as well (allowed in Georgia).

Re: CAV Wide Body No. 104 Lemans Blue 104th car.

Re: CAV Wide Body No. 104 Lemans Blue A police officer inspected the car and signed off on the VIN. Chassis number means the build sequence from CAV (107th car), which is different from the CAV cert of origin number, which is different from the VIN which Georgia allows the owner to assign if...

Re: CAV Wide Body No. 104 Lemans Blue Oh yea, I forgot, asking $110k.

This is a Mk1 built by CAV in Nov 2005 and fitted out in 2006 by renowned GT40 and Cobra builder Bill Mitchell of HRE Motorsports in New York. Gulf Flares, Twin Snorkel, Lemans Blue Metallic, Silver Center Stripes, Black Perforated Leather. Smiths gauges, 220 mph speedo, Lucas toggle switches...

Great advice. Thanks. I would add that First Gear with this tranny is pretty much a waste. Ratio such that I gotta go "instantly" to second. Would like to change but don't really want to break open the box right now.

Based on above I will replace the clutch. Hopefully the disc is a "stock" unit. Is there any particular source or brand of disc that is recommended...that will fit with flywheel and pressure plate...or just go back with whatever is in there? I don't know the size til it's apart. And I won't do...

Thanks for quick reply, Ron. That just seems right. I will try this: from a standing start pull away in fifth gear, it should stall, if not, there's slippage. A more advanced test...I'll need to take it to my mechanic. If you have any advice on putting in an LSD let me know.

This transaxle is in a later model CAV. I think it's an open diff because when rear is jacked up tires spin in opposite directions. ISSUE: car has run fine for a couple of years. Now, under acceleration, when you get it on, or when shifting at speed, the engine rpm/tach needle goes up but car...

Ford has suggested the price for the new GT will be substantially above the 05-06...and closer to Lambo Huracan and the like cars ...so $250k plus seems to be where it's going...we'll see.

Oops. Pic above is before air filters on stacks, badging on valve covers, and old school wrapped exhaust. Here ya go.

CAV 104 with Ford 351 and Weber IDFs.

This car will advance the art, no doubt. It's just that "Ecoboost" with the little green leaf logo is so ... weeny. But Ford has just filed a trademark application for "Ecobeast", and filed a patent application on a revised six cylinder engine, so I think there is more, much more, to come. And...

It will have +100hp per cylinder, but I still don't like the political correctness of a six. I guess I'm just old school. Looks like a killer car though. With carbon fiber I'll bet 0-60 under 3 sec, and +200mph. While we're talkin numbers, please not $400K. Let's try for $200K. A high price will...

I'm overdue on reporting on my CAV fuel cell replacement. I have car 104. The original bladders were manufactured by Buck Rogers Aviation in South Africa. The passenger side developed two small leaks...one at the seam near the front lower edge and one where the front vent nipple attaches to the...

See my new post under FEEDBACK below regarding the new custom alum fuel tanks from Frank Catt in the UK. I'm buying and looking for others to do the same to incent Frank to do a run of them and pass the savings on to us!

I posted earlier about the need to replace by original CAV tanks (one is leaking). I had the good fortune of being in London on business and took the train down to see well-known GT40 guys Frank Catt and Geoff Taylor. Among many GT40s in their shops was a spectacular CAV in Gulf livery owned by...
