In general, I think, there's just a very limited market for these GT40s and kit car replicas in general. They're loud and smelly and very mechanical. I'm sure others share the same opinion as me, that GT40s are a tight fit and require some gymnastics to ingress/egress and are claustrophobic. Additionally, there's no friggin' windows! And they're $100,000 +/- cars. Even with the A/C on full blast, when the temps get above 90 degrees, you're going to be hot and sweaty mess. That's why the ring holes in the seats.

So, unless you find that one (or a couple) right buyer(s) just salivating for one, it usually takes a few months and the price must come down.

Do you remember that person who registered here a few years ago and basically said "I have cash right now. Sell me your GT40 for $70,000 (or something like that) and you'll have a quick and painless transaction." He did find someone to sell him a GT40 (not an SPF or ERA) for around whatever amount he was offering. I don't think he ever posted again. Came here in a hurry and left even quicker.

Point is, if you don't have a few months to sell your car, then price it accordingly, er, keep your ego in check.

I had a GTD GT40 back in 2003 and the A/C was not good enough for the Texas summers as the condenser was back by the engine. My CAV is much different with the condenser up front by the radiator and I had the car out last Saturday afternoon and it was 98 out and I had to turn in down the A/C to low as my daughter was freezing. My car does not get hot inside at all as the bulk head is insulated very well and it has a kick ass 408 stroker in it.....Not sure how ERA GT40s are setup or where they put their condensers.......

Few more pics of this ERA GT40 over on GT40s.com where it has been for sale. That ad states it is titled in CA as 1965 Ford GT40.

I tell you what...If I had a spare 115 grand laying around, I'd buy this car in a heartbeat.
