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
reachmy 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
Scotts 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.
Thanks for all
your guidance in preparing my advertisement and providing me with direction
in capturing good photos of my GT40!

BIG Photo of
powerplant: Click Here! Nothing was spared in finalizing this
build, including the bulletproof RBT-ZF $11,000 German transaxle.
The suspension features the original, Ferrari-trouncing GT40
layout. So original are the GT40 continuation models, that most of the
parts are interchangeable with an original Forty. The Superformance
Continuation Series of GT40s built are under license
by Safir Spares LLC, holders of the GT40 trademark (something
even Ford could not arrange with their Ford GT); this car
is an amazingly correct duplicate of the winning car, with the same
exacting paint scheme. Original Goodyear Blue Streak tires are
available for you, if 100% accuracy is what you desire. However this
is not a race only car, and is appropriately fitted for
both street and track driving. In the cockpit: outfitted with
original-style seats covered with the optional original-style German
leather, 4-point racing-harness safety belts, Smiths gauges,
and an original-style quick-removable steering wheel; the (very efficient)
air conditioning system includes an evaporator unit cleverly disguised
as a mock-up dry sump, placed in the original sump position. BIG
Photo of cockpit: Click Here! This Forty will comfortably fit
a 6'-2" driver. It currently has 900 miles on it and has never
been titled, as the owner experienced medical issues shortly after taking
delivery only 8 months ago. This car has no dings or paint blemishes,
and has never been driven in inclement weatherits in as-new
condition in every respect, and it runs, drives and handles superbly.
You also get a custom car cover. Im the selling dealer and have
pledged to get this customer a reasonable price for his very exceptional

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.

You
may think that all you need to know to take knock-em-dead

for capturing crappy snapshots that'll prompt all
your potential buyers to flee screaming into the wilderness.
