IMO, your SPF GT40 is worth less to me, and most in the resale market, because it has a $20,000+ 302/4bbl, which 99.99% would have to pull out and rebuild since no one, but no one, would ever build a 302/4bbl and drop into an SPF GT40.

Hi Guys,
I just thought I would jump in on this thread being an owner of an RF GT40 here in OZ, I can attest to what MHNCO is saying, as I have been at plenty of car gatherings with some big dollar "Super Cars" including the Ford GT and when I drive my GT40 replica in, almost everyone will stop, stare and come ask questions as soon as the door is opened - it's something I can't explain other than to say that the Iconic status of the GT40 is greater due to the history surrounding the Lemans victories back in the late 60's..
Here's a couple of shots of my Twin Turbo GT40..
Cheers
Wil
