RCR (Race Car Replicas) makes one of the finest GT40 replicas and they're built in Michigan. If you purchase new, then you will have to have them or someone qualified to build it for you. You can have the RCR40 built to your specifications. Each one is custom made.
As mentioned, the GT40 website will have the answers to all your questions.
When I did my research, the RCR was roughly the Kirkham of the GT40 spectrum. And the Superformance was the Shelby of the GT40 spectrum. In no way a direct comparison, since for at least two things, Fran at RCR does not sell GT40 bodies to Superformance (like Kirkham sells to Shelby) and RCR GT40's are not registered into the Shelby World Registry (like Kirkhams).
I just think paying for the Superformance name to get a GT40 that is listed in the Registry is nonsense since its a replica just like the Shelby Cobras. Regardless of the 70% interchangeable parts nonsense. They weren't built in the 1960's, they use modern (not NOS/OEM) parts built by different companies and people.
