I am currently in the process of scratch building another GT40 of my own chassis design, if anyone is interested in seeing this come together I could start a separate thread I guess? Here the silver GT40 with her sister that is up for sale. Cheers Wil |

Or you can buy the red GT40 on CobraCountry asking $133,500. I'd rather have a real factory production car. Better in every way for $260,000. Porsche. There is no substitute. I love the "details," "8 cylinder engine." :rolleyes: Not my favorite color, but at least it's a color. |
I would love to continue this banter and watch the chiding, but I will be off line for a few weeks. Taking the family on vacation. Going to try to connect with BUZZ while there.;)
So, continue on gentlemen. I will check in when I can.;) |

As for whether my polished aluminum "Kirkum" with a 482ci BBF would get more or less attention, I'd rather focus on which of us, personally, would get more attention, and who's got more or less body fat. Since you did say we're all fat here many pages ago. I haven't forgotten. :) You see, what would be more important in my view, is what can you clean & jerk, snatch, deadlift or squat? Can you do a handstand push-up? Can you climb a rope? I'm going to say, you can't, because you probably spend too much time going "vroom, vroom" inside your SPF since it doesn't move under its own power. :LOL: |
That must be a SBF owner thing some of them are willing to pay for a used one more than it would cost to build a new one ��
Also I noticed they are always the first one's at cars and coffee shows etc to show off their "Race Car" but very hard to convince to come to the race track |
Good luck with your sale. I mean that.
Rod, no! |
Interesting...
The natter has morphed into a replica GT40 getting more attention at car shows than a "chrome kirkhum". %/ |
It's that or listening to Rod natter on for weeks about how much he can clean and jerk. What the heck does that even mean Rod? On second thought, no need to explain.
Maui, SPF dollars for an ERA is going to be a tough sell. I hope you can get it but it may take awhile to locate that buyer. |
This thread in the beginning was interesting. Now it is not.

This isn't a build thread, but I do enjoy them. I'm still waiting on the next update to Dean's RCR GT40 build:

BTW, the Olympics start this week, you may even see some "clean & jerking" and some "snatching." I think Mike (MHNCO) will be busy in his garage going "vroom, vroom." |
Rod,

Having owned a few toys, I do agree that the gt40s draw more of a crowd than any other car I have had including cobras. (thats really not my thing, but I can understand why some hold that aspect in high regard)
I remember seeing one 30 years ago, and doing a double-take. I didn't know what it was, but it certainly had a magnetic quality. The fact that they are so rare in the public eye is another reason as well. There are not too many exotic cars that have that kind of performance and history all rolled into one for 100-150k…... Mike has a nice car, and is certainly passionate about the marque. Be nice to all get together one day and have a few beers. Cheers, S |

Not only is Mike passionate about his replica, but he seems to enjoy calling all of us fat and also thinks that only $1,000,000 supercars (Carerra GT, 918, etc.) are worthy of parking next to his $100,000-$150,000 kit car. Not even a 2005-2006 Ford GT is worthy of a spot next to his GT40 clone, according to Mike. ;) I'd actually be WAY more impressed if Mike had a 6 or an 8 pack abdomen than with his tribute car. Or maybe if he could clean & jerk 200+ lbs., run a 5 or even 6 minute mile or the gold standard in my book, a muscleup. That would be impressive! Spending $150,000 or whatever on a replica, or any car for that matter, just doesn't move me in any way as an adult. I live in the heart of Silicon Valley, not too far away from Tesla, McClaren, Porsche and Ferrari dealerships, so even if cars impressed me today, a SPF GT40 wouldn't make my "needle" move one iota. :) |
The batmobile replica would take the cake every time at a car show. Even in a sea of Cobras and gt40's. Real or fake. Lol
