You guys are a crazy bunch!:laugh: So last week I did just that. Got on a plane to SF and took a long look and drive of an SPF. Just before I went I spent the afternoon with Sammy and his beautiful CAV here in Dallas. I LOVED how the SPF drove (didn't drive the CAV - nor did I ask ;-)...

Yes I did realize that - which is why I asked ;-). I didn't know if he was aware of its current configuration. I have pics of it before and after. Btw, I noticed it was a brighter blue and not the sky blue pastey color. Hmm. It actually looks more striking this way...

A couple of corrections: 1) It has not been for sale since 2011. It has had 2 owners since then - won't disclose their names. 2) Your statement that Gulf colors are incorrect for MKII is incorrect. This car mirroring Ken Miles car in the 1966 24hrs of Lemans... right down to the bronze...

I completely agree about it not being the level of a modern exotic. 1) its a replica of car built 50 years ago! And that car was actually a race - not street car to boot! If I get a GT40 it will NOT replace my 911 Turbo as the primary toy. They are apples and oranges. The 911 may get...

I'm looking at a livery SPF P/2202 GT40 MKII. Does anyone know this car?

Mike D, you're in left field. Never said I want modern. I simply mentioned a perspective THAT WAS SHARED WITH ME contrasting the different cars. But I specifically did NOT state a preference for either characterization. In any cae, your slightly inflammatory response seems to implicates you...

Sorry I meant to say I am NOT buying new. I heard CAV and ERA are both better quality than SPF AS SPF is original which may be good for perception and nostalgia but CAV and ERA's are higher quality via more modern approaches to chassis and also a non rusting body on CAV? For some reason most...

Pat, all good points. I did plan on buying new. ERA and CAV seem to be best buy and in same price range. Only Superformance close to $100k is an MKII. I think I prefer an MKI. How do I find owners in Dallas?

Want it completed. Engine and all. Should prob go used right?

Guys, I have done the typical scope creep where I decided to get a retro muscle car. Favorite was GT40 but after seeing their prices decided thats more than I want to spend on the 4th car. I have a 850hp 911TT, E Class Diesel and Lexus SUV. My thought was that I can add a toy that is...
