Hey everyone, my name is Alex. I joined the forum about a month ago. I live on the East coast of Florida, and just put a deposit down on a GT40 from RCR. Super excited for this build.
I have a 1967 Mustang that I completely rebuilt, nothing too crazy but more of a daily driver style car. I built it with the intentions to do Power Tour with it and I got to do that this year, so on to the next project lol. I am a CNC machinist so I was able to make a couple things for the Mustang that hopefully I get to also make for this build.

Nice 67 I have a 68 coupe factory 289 next year will be 30 years of ownership, love it will never sell it . The competition also had straight 6 engines to big V8s ,390,428,427 . Somewhere I remember hearing about a car that won LeMans with those engines but can't seem to place it.

Yes when Europeans were saving for one of these.

I have a long time before I can own a car for 30 years, I'm only 31 lol. I got mine as a rolling shell about 5 years ago. All originality was gone so it was a really good candidate to do a custom build so I replaced everything on the car. I've had it on the road since April of last year.

Welcome Alex

Thanks for mentioning these wonderful cars from the 60s. These were lovely cars, indeed! Race versions were very successful in their class. In particular, the Type 650 TR II in FIA Group 2 up to 700 cm³ (e.g. Group 2 European rally champion in 1966). Hill climbs were their specialties and they are still popular in historic events. Have to have a V8? No problem:

Not sure if a secretary would be happy with one today, however ... ;-)
And welcome to Alex, of course!
