DRB GT40 for sale

[TC]

DRB (GT40 Australia)
1966 Ford GT40

Great news for anyone interested in a well sorted out GT40. After some difficult deliberation, I have decided to put my baby up for sale. I currently have another project car in progress and cannot support two dream cars.

This is a stunning red GT40 registered in Florida and built by Colin Dazell. Colin had a very well documented build on his site but I think that was recently pulled down. I will have a copy of the build for any interested buyer.

The mileage is 6,069 and is in beautiful shape. Some major and minor changes, improvements and fine tuning have been done since I purchased this vehicle. See below for some of the descriptions. Price is $72k obo, more pictures will be added, you can email me or call 239-633-6633.

That is a VERY nice looking car! It must be hell to have to part with it.

Hi TC how is the car registrated , as build in what year ?

 

[TC]

Hey Sabbath,

The car is registered as a 1966 but built in 2004.

Hi All,

I need to move this sale along. I can post additional pics or email them to you. I have a excellant covered transporter that I can arrange delivery at $.95/mile. I am also willing to reduce the price to $67,000. This is a good deal. Most of you know that the parts alone usually exceed this price. In fact, on this build the documented materials cost is in excess of $82k.

Also, does anyone have any thoughts on other advertising locations. I have enjoyed this forum so much, I wanted to sell the car here. I found this car here in fact, but it was also on Hemming's and Cobra Country.

TC, maybe a long shot but perhaps you could give the establishment that is the local Superformance dealer a try for a consignment sale? The local Superformance dealer here in Seattle sells used exotic cars on consignment of all types. Your car looks fantastic, and, being a complete and registered car for a whole lot less $$ than a Superformance roller (sitting right next to it in the showroom) you might just have a quick sale.

 

[Rick S.]

any interior pics available?

 

Please show some interior pics, also is it gulf flared in the rear? Can you post an angled front photo?

 

[Paolo-LoveGT40 Modelworks]

this is a wonderful car.
If I am not wrong 72k us dollars are as 48k euros, a really good price for it.

 

[TC]

Thanks Cliff, great idea, but a little shy on sending it from FL to the other coast.

Hey Jonathan and rstallare, here are a few photos, I will try to get some better pics in tomorrows daylight. The knob on the dash to the far left is a lean/rich Airfuel control connected to the SDS Engine Management system and the box on the seat is the full and disconnectable systems setting controller.

I have completely redone all of the black trim around the lights and windows and you can see one example of that in the front headlight. The interior door panels have a stitched GT40 emblem in the red panel surround.

Jonathan, not sure if this was an angle you were looking for, if not, just describe it a little more and I will get it tomorrow.

 

[Paul Butvila]

Very Very nice car! ( If Only...$ )

 

TC,
Thanks for the additional pics. For the front angled shot, can you take another at car level? The car looks amazing.

 

[Rick S.]

where is the car located?

 

[TC]

Rick, The car is in Ft Myers, FL.

 

[craig]

I will be heading to florida 3-22-08 thru 3-29-08 and I would like to take a look..

[Randy V]

Craig - Did you see this in his first post?

you can email me or call 239-633-6633.

 

[craig]

I just talked with Tony...and the car has been sold.:cussing:

 

[TC]

Yup, sorry for any delay in updating this thread. The Gt40 was sold to a very nice gentleman in Wisconsin. Coordinating delivery right now. I think it was a great buy, course I am biased, but also pretty darn aware of all its attributes. The new project car (930) should arrive in a few weeks so the passion still goes on. I have really enjoyed all of the posts on this forum, great bunch of individuals. Be well to all. Tony
