I see both sides actually. I have built 2 cobras ,one basic model that required significant work to complete and a Kirkham roller (much more involved than dropping the motor and tranny in) and I am working on completing a 66 gt350 mustang clone and a 67 mustang restomod for my son. I have been looking at GT40's for a while and a CAV come up recently with 400 miles on it and all the goodies,the price was too good to pass up and it would cost 90K to reproduce it. For me this was the most economical and quick way to have a 40,I will do some upgrading I am sure but I am driving it daily. I have no doubt dlampe and Bill will build outstanding RCR's and have fun doing it.Will they save money? Who knows. Will they have fun? You betcha.
