You must be realistic in your selling price.

A current RF GT40 (space frame chassis) is priced at $126k less paint,wheels and tyres
In my experience selling GT40's is like selling Cobra's. It all comes down to colour, styling and specification. If you choose popular colour, styling etc it will be a much easier sell. Also finishing detail and drive quality come into it as well. Pick an unpopula3r colour and you virtually need to give them away.

I know of a Cobra that has just sold. Sold in less than a week and even had genuine backup buyers. It was just nice looking car, popular style, well finished, older build. Price was fair to both owner and buyer, so certainly not the cheapest around, actually more towards the higher end.


I would argue our new PACE GT would give the best GT40 replica kits in the world a run for their money. Alloy chassis, billet rocker suspension, full gloss carbon bodies etc. We are also significantly cheaper than RF, around 30% cheaper for same spec parts etc.

Couldn't help myself with the plug.
