I've been a car guy since time began; after owning a Cobra I thought I should try the other Ford, the GT40! I first saw the real thing (Ford GT40) up at Limerock at a vintage car show. The bug struck me. Since I was short a million dollars or so, I sprang for the next best thing! It's special and different, especially with the 40's spectacular racing history.

This fabulous forty was built and has been maintained with no-compromise quality. Put simply, you'll experience the exhilaration of driving a bona fide, street-legal, legendary racing machine!

After this ultimate asphalt kicker has raced into the sunset to its next home, I'm not sure what will be my next toy (perhaps another Cobra roadster?), but I'm certain it will be as well thought of and cared for as this car has been.

This Guardsman Blue beauty is yours for
