Thats great......the best way to do these cars is to buy a "used" version. Most have lead a sheltered life as this one has. All the headaches of assembly and sorting have been done. Be aware that they are a high maintence vehicle if taken seriously to the track.....and any off road excusions will be very costly...thats why we are going to a more stout 69 Boss 302 to Vintage race....The GT-40 is a timeless body style, if we could, I'd keep it just to look at in the shop.....ERA is a great bunch of guys, I've known Peter for about 20 years...none better, as long as you keep him fed with large slabs of red meat.

Murt:

Good to see that you are still alive and the Missus hasn't come to her senses and buried your miserable bones behind the garage/tulip shed.

PS: Are you planning to go to VIR the end of this month?

You've got a great GT40 there, Tim loves his toys, we saw that car run the one time at Watkins Glen.

Enjoy!

Hi John: Tim told me he tracked it once. He has a stack of racing rubber sitting in his garage waiting for his new turn-key ERA GT. Heading out with the trailer to pick it up in the AM.

We are about to get a new series of questions. Not only "is it real" or "is it a kit" with the Cobra, but "is it a Ferrari", "the new Ford GT", or just a puzzled look. Driving the '66 Mustang is so much simpler.

He still hasn't gotten that new car???? Its been a year now since we were hearing "any day now".

The Stang may be cheaper but that 40 is the cat's meow!!!!! I've always loved the ERA GT40. Enjoy it, be safe and try and get used to that rear window poking you in yer head on take off.

Those are tough problems to have. I feel for you

And congrats on the car!
