Roaring Forties GT40 Replica for Sale
I am selling my RF40. It is close to being a completed car and I would like to find a nice home for it in our GT40s.com community. I have spent a considerable amount of time putting this car together including machining and welding individual pieces.
To answer questions that are surely to follow this posting, such as why are you selling your 40, I will answer right here. I have my own business and like many others I have been hit hard by this latest recession. My business is in the building trades industry and it has gone flat for a longer time than any time in the past 25 years. This coupled with a battle with cancer has slowed my business as well as my build of my GT40. The good news is I may have beaten the cancer but there has been a cost.
You will see from the pictures that this is a nice car and close to completed.
