KMP444
Aluminum 40 Ford body and substructure. Used as a prototype to make the Copper 40 Ford GT. The body was made by hand to figure out the parting lines on where to join the panels together because copper only come in 1 x 2 meter sheets in Poland whereas aluminum sheets come in sizes all the way to 2 x 4 meters. Also, the body was used to make sure the wheels and tires from a 2006 Ford GT would fit--which they did not, so the copper car had to be widened while in production. After the Copper car was done, KMP444 was sold on eBay.
