I frequent the GT40s website and we had a build thread on an incredible project. Soon as it was finished, it was offered for sale. This was a private individual, not a business (I assume your comments above referenced commercial businesses whose focus is building and selling replicas). We were all amazed he would sell and asked him why, his answer was simple:

"Some guys play golf; I build cars".

Sounds like a hobby to me....can't be a moneymaking operation in this economy, we all hear accounts of people having twice as much invested in their "For Sale" offering than they can get for it.

BTW...that guy on the GT40's website...he has not been back, I guess he settled on a different type of project for his next creation.

Cheers!
