Dear Cobra Country:

Mark my drop-dead gorgeous ERA GT40 SOLD!

It's going to a wonderful GT40 enthusiast in Berne, Switzerland! He and his fiancé flew here to Arizona to see it (and purchase it) after having found it on CobraCountry!

Talk about global reach—my ‘fabulous Forty’ will soon be taming the switchback turns of high-altitude Alpine asphalt! My GT40 Prestige Showcase on CobraCountry placed my car in the center of the world stage!

And a special tribute to Curt Scott’s expert photography tips: no one in far-off Helvetia (or even Hialeah or Hyannis Port or Hoboken) would've been motivated to contact me without those fine photographs of my lime-green drivin' machine.

For Sale: GT40 MkII—fully sorted and rarin’ to go—by Superformance. The BIG Picture: Click Here! This ‘fabulous Forty’ is a breathtaking rendition of Alan Mann Racing's #8 car, XGT-1. It was assigned the continuation GT40 number of GTP2103 and is registered as a 1966 GT40 in South Carolina. Drivetrain: this beautiful car has the desirable Roush 427SR/ 540 horsepower powerplant, and you can drive it very easily at low rpm in tow; it has an RBT ZF transmission with power-matched gear ratios for this motor. 0-60 times should be in the mid-3-second range and top speed should approach 200 mph. BIG Photo of powerplant: Click Here! It has never been raced but it has been on the Road Atlanta track a few times and handles extraordinarily well. You can get behind the wheel of this drivin' machine and drive all day, generating grins & thrills and 'thumbs up!' responses. The AC works great as does the heater. In the cockpit: Smiths instruments, adjustable pedals, and I have added extra 3/8" (±9.5mm) closed-cell neoprene for heat & noise suppression. BIG Photo of cockpit: Click Here! The Firestone tires are as new. The paint is almost as new with only a couple of small stone chips in the front, it does have the optional stone chip guard film applied to the nose. This car cost approximately $117,000 to get to this point with the motor and transaxle alone costing more than $30,000. BIG 3/4-view shot: Click Here! If you desire the-most-original–design GT40 on the market, then this Superformance is tailor-made for you. $93,000. I don't think you'll find a better buy on any ‘Continuation’ GT40 that is listed in the new SAAC World Registry. Contact Chuck at (864) 630-0467 EDT (cell), or email: ces3006@aol.com

	Motorcar Photography Tips hotlink You may think that all you need to know to take good photos of your GT40 is 1) how to turn on your camera, 2) how to aim it in the general direction of your FabForty, and 3) how to press the shutter. Think again.
That's the perfect formula for capturing crappy snapshots that'll prompt all your potential buyers to flee screaming into the wilderness. And rightly so. Photojournalist Curt Scott's latest revision has been carefully reworked just for you! It’s a valuable investment of your time... on a single page, it’ll take you only about 30 seconds to print out and about 6 minutes to read! Here's a hotlink to a higher-rez image of that GT40 engine territory shot above; photo by Tom Hughes of Southlake, Texas, who sold that Mk1 beauty on CobraCountry in 2005.

For Sale: CAV GT. Guards Red/black cockpit. The BIG Picture: Click Here! In 1969 there was one American vehicle on the surface of the moon and another on top of the world. America was soaring high. The GT40 had trounced Ferrari at LeMans in 1966 and three consecutive years thereafter. Neil Armstrong had taken a giant leap for mankind and Ford had fashioned an epoch for motor racing using aerospace engineering. The CAV GT is the ultimate re-creation of this legend that embodies all the power, passion, and performance of that era. But with some enhancements that make it just a bit more perfect. From our $64,900 'Turnkey Minus," plus your choice of engine and gearbox. Your CAV GT is available with a choice of customized features that includes a wide range of color choices, a road or racing car version and engine and transaxle options. And if you lean towards the satisfaction of putting the car together yourself the CAV GT is available in component form as well. Contact Roy Sayles at (619) 708-3180, or email: Roy@vVIPclassics.com
