Which GT40?

Again, one is not "better' than the other, but a different interpretation of the 60s FAV car.

I will gladly sell my SPF MK II listed at 128K for 170K if you really want it! And I don't think Fran can do the full assembly as well as engine and transaxle, that would violate the federal regulations as he would be an "automotive manufacturer and therefore subject to all FMVSS standards.

I can have a new RCR40 built to my exacting standards (i.e., top notch, better than a roller SPF) FAR FAR cheaper than I can finish a new SPF. Even here in the SF Bay Area, where labor rates and shop rents aren't cheap. Trust me on that one. However, I've ruled out buying a GT40, since I'm a convertible-roadster-kinda. The GT40 is too confining to me.
