GT40 talk.
Well here is photo. I could talk all day it's a CAV GT40 with ZF transmission and 392 Ford Racing engine - and it is just great. It draws crowds just like the Cobras. |
Boy are you right John. The GT's draw crowds like bees to honey.:3DSMILE:
Just like these two Roaring Forties do. Hersh:) |
Yessss, found my ride for the big trip...
BTSNAKE
Hershal, :LOL: Can I use the Gulf car for the Arizona to Ohio trip next year. How's the spare car (Cobra) coming along. Don't forget your mate here!! Will ring you Pm. your time tomorrow. Spoke with Rob at 'Roarin 40's' today. All well and busy there. Cheers Bernie |
Sorry John
Sorry, I 'hi - jacked' the "Thread here. Love that GT40. Nice size motor there also. :3DSMILE: Cheers Bernie |
That looks great John!
I look forward to seeing it soon - I got my CAV just a few days ago and I have been spending my evenings exploring it - I just love that monocoque.....CAV really did a nice job. Turk and I may come up for the BACC breakfast this weekend - will you be there? Pat Buckley |
Hi Bernie,
Well you will have to ask the owner about that . I personally don't care for the Gulf color scheme. It's to close to the BoZo theme to suit me but hey, what ever trips your trigger. Pat congrats on your purchase of tha GT40. You will have a ball with it. I suspect you will use it more than the Cobra. John, the colors on your GT are very nice. it show the lines of the car well. Hersh:) |
So Hersh - are you a dealer for RF40'S?
|
Not to hijack this thread again, but I am looking for a company who makes the 5" taillights for the GT-40's. Can be solid red or the correct euro-style amber-over-red. If anybody knows where I can get 'em, please let me know.
Thanks, Russ |
Pat,
I'm the Roaring Forties distributor. Hersh:) |
GT40
Hi Pat;
I will arrange to be at Dublin Athens breakfast this Sat if you want to see the GT40. Was going to bring the Cobra for a run, but it can wait. John. |
That would be great - thanks!
|
Guardsman blue - pure white stripes. Yellow fender stripe
Hey Hersh,
%/ Just had a look at the Cobra. You would not recognise it as the same car. Some undercoat/repair and paint sure makes a difference. **) About to ring you. Cheers Bernie |
think you may be in bed!!
Hersh
:eek: Checked the time difference I will ring you tomorrow. Cheers Bernie |
BT Snake - You said "I personally don't care for the Gulf color scheme. It's to close to the BoZo theme to suit me but hey, what ever trips your trigger."
Fair enough - everyone has their own taste, I just wondered what the BoZo theme is? I ask as my car is in these colours. |
Well I really like the Gulf combo or colours.
Hey Bevan
:confused: Do you want his address? Better still wait till I get there, I'd like to watch. :LOL: Think Hersh, was having a go at me as I had considered doing something different with my car. Light blue with orange stripes. My gallery will enlighten you to the reference to a clown (red haired, red and yellow suit) Then again he may not have been having a go at me!!! Yes, I sure like the Gulf colours and offered to drive it next year over to the DVSF in Ohio. Cheers Bernie |
Gulf colours were a preference of mine
Bevan - its good to hi - jack the GT40 site
%/ Just took a look at your gallery there. Good to see you are out in front of the those Holdens and Porsches. Yes that's the colours ( your car ) I was thinking about. It was suggested that I do my car red and run yellow stripes down it. :eek: A certain Aussie ( ex Englishman ) who builds other cars was joking with me - I think. Went for Guardsman Blue and pure white with yellow over guard i.d stripe. Will 'Post' pictures when finished. Cheers Bernie |
Hi BT Snake
You would'nt have any more pictures of the silver and black striped GT40 that is in the secound post? I am on the verge of buying a gt40 to sit beside my cobra and all I need is a small push and that that silver gt40 looked mighty fine. Thanks Cobra.au |
Cobra.au
%/ Check Hershals gallery out as it's his car. He has about five pages of the car through the entire build. Check it out.. I have a few photos of the car here at home and can send them to you. I took them when at the 'Run N Gun' in Missouiri with Rob from "Roarin 40's and Hershal was there on the track etc.. About three months ago ( on our news stands ) there was a two or three page article on the car in 'Kit Car Magazine. It will be the USA October or November edition from last year. %/ Ring me if you want some photos after checking the 'forum gallery'. I will look to see if I still have the edition of Kit Car Magazine withe hershals car in it. 0408 564448 Bernie |
Thanks Bernie, that makes sense, thought I had missed something there.
I am not surprised some people dont like the gulf colours, they are a bit bizarre really, but they have grown on me while I have owned the car, and now that the car has a bit of race history in NZ it seems wrong somehow to change it. . I was considering going to the 'other' gulf colours which are a very dark blue and with the same orange stripes (as seen on some GT40s). Maybe I should borrow your clown suit, and put oval wheels on my car? |
Bevan
I may be wrong and letting Hershal off the hook easily. He may have been having a go at both of us. :LOL: Yes have see that colour on a GT40 and it looked good. The suit is worn by professional registered actors with only three in Australia able to wear it. Its a fulltime job for them, doing both public appearance and adds etc. Take care. Bernie |
