Just as an FYI, RF is out of business taking over $500,000 of customer deposits with it. You can read the final part of that mess here:

There is only a handfull of people that own Real or replica GT40's. I have had 1965,66,67,68 Shelby's and enjoyed them all. I still have my 66 and 65 but the gt40 is just to addictive for me. I have only had the GT40 a couple of weeks and it's killing me not to sit in it or have a looky before I go to work in the morning. Let's talk depression!! looking foward all week for your day off and it rains So instead of of setting your hair on fire, it is now a WAX ON...WAX OFF day. As for the Shelby's, those are now sunday cruisers when I feel like going SLOW! 120MPH. The adreniline pulse has been cranked up a few notches with the GT. Selling your Cobra won't feel so bad when you strap yourself into one of these road rockets. The first day out on the highway I made a Porsch 911 owner

Best Regards

well,my CAV gt40 arrived last night so I am hardly an expert on them,however I made a few observations. It is a pain to get in and out of,so is the cobra but the gt is worse. You do feel somewhat claustrophobic in there, as it is small,but is is comfortable,vision will be an issue in the gt. It is nice to have AC and I should be able to drive anytime. Both cars stir me emotionally just in different ways. All cars like these come with compromise,but they sure are fun. I will update as I obtain more driving time. chuck

oh oliver, I feel so,oooo sorry for you, owning ALL those Shelby's LOL !!!!!!!!
In a way, I know what the rain does for depression. The last three weeks, & maybe this Saturday also, the rain has caused our sprint car racing to be canceled ! We go to all the work of setting it up & washing it only to run hot laps & it rains ! A lot of work for nothing.
Anyway, Now I'm getting even more excited about the POSSABILITY.....of a GT !

Ron- I can't believe RF went belly up ! Hopefully.......through the court system, people can get their money BACK !

Chuck- so is yours ready to drive I take it ? Yes, I can imagine the GT is hard to get in & out of because of the fuel tank's being in the rockers. What do old men (44 years young) like me do, sit my @ss on the tank and slide over ?
Any ideas on the price of my Cobra ? Should I just make a post asking this question ?

Thanks,

Kevin,hard to say on your cobra. I think cobra country is the way to go to sell. I had a guy call me about trading my Hunter 427 cobra for his 66gt350 clone which I did,good deal for both of us. The CAV is turnkey,all the goodies,even a set of webers that are not on it yet,it now has a Holley. I too looked into RCR and that is who I would use for a Kit. I just could not justify another car project since I just finished the Kirkham and am working on the 67 mustang fastback restomod for my son and the 66 gt350 needs some finishing touches. Way too many projects. I do tend to like the build process more than the finished product however. chuck
