Where are all the SPF tool room cars, lets see them

[Rob Klein]

If you have a SPF tool room car lets see them?


Let's GO!

My P/1173 tool room will be completed late 2025.

- SPF / Safir: rolling chassis

- Cobra Automotive, CT: 331 cu in Gurney-Weslake engine

- Airpark Motorsports, AZ: builder / integrator

Can't wait!

GEL makes an awesome GT40 ... Considered GEL017, but ultimately decided upon new SPF. https://www.classicdriver.com/en/car/ford/gt-40/1965/1044186

Curious that’s a really nice Gelscoe. What made you pass ?

 

[Bob L]

Nothing against the Gelscoe, I just preferred these SPF Tool Room features: brand new, Gulf livery, '69 Le Mans vibes, extra-wide body, 14" rears, Gurney-Weslake engine from Cobra Automotive, friends with local installer, price / exchange rate (Gelscoe was $580k Euros / $655k USD), etc etc etc

BTW, love your build progress pics!

Looks like a great AZ car, as white is v popular there. Did Cobra Automotive build your G-W engine? Who did the install / build?

 

[JMCGRATH]

TX car.

Yes, CA did the GW motor.

John G at CA seems v experienced and has been a joy to deal with so far. Interestingly, he does just one GW per year. Makes it feel special. Did you have a good experience? Would you do anything differently? Did you do your own install? Thx.

 

[JMCGRATH]

CA did everything as advertised. Excellent.

Don Hoevel Racing did the final setup.

Out of curiosity does anyone know how many Tool-room cars have been built..?

I had heard they would be limited to 50, with P1100 chassis numbers allocated accordingly, but it appears P1100 chassis numbers are also being sold to non Tool-room chassis.

I think the 50th Anniversary (non-Tool Room) cars have P1100 numbers as well.

I think the 50th Anniversary (non-Tool Room) cars have P1100 numbers as well.

Mine is a 50th Anniversary car RHD with AC and chassis number P1176. Ordered in November 2021 and delivered in June 2024.

Just poking around, I believe maybe a dozen or so.
