Mark Gerisch was a principal in "M & L Specialties" (the "M" part...), who built this alloy Cobra repilca for Leno. The car was shown at one of the early SAAC Conventions in Dearborn, MI, probably back in 1986.

More recently, Mark runs a company in Green Bay, WI, called Genaddi Design Group, and was converting new Ford GT's into "GTX1" roadsters. In January, 2008, Genaddi announced that they were no longer going to build the GTX1 Ford GT roadster conversion, or the "GTB" butterfly (Lambo-style scissor-action doors) conversion for the new Ford GT. I believe they are still making carbon-fibre tops for Murcielago roadsters.

Gerisch is a fine craftsman and a perfectionist - his Ford GT "GTX1" roadster conversions are stunning and exquisitely detailed. Some day, I'd love to have one sitting in my garage, right next to my ERA.
