Wally,
How's the Beaver doing?
Ford did not "sell" the GT40 trademark to Safir, they just never registered it or tried to enforce the trademark and thus, they do not "own" it now as technically, they never did. Besides, Carroll Shelby said that there is NO such thing as a "GT40"...he says it was an invention of the British press ( he contends it was always just the "Ford GT".). I guess Ford used the "GT40" in the parts manual and cast it on numerous parts just for yucks!
How about sending Brent a contribution as you seem to often be hawking your wares here.......
