I saw a yellow car that looked like a road-going GT40 from the 60s. It cruised around the Bunnings carpark Sat. 19/12. Wickedly low - seemed to have racing rubber on it. Number plate - 0030 H - club plates.
Anyone seen it before? Is it a replica or original? |

What's the base car needed to make a GT40 kit car? I've seen one around and they're pretty damn sexy

Yep, GT40's and AC Cobra's. Chassis are built, suspension is jaguar (from memory) and for the most part you can choose the engine. Infact last time i looked, a change in QLD legislation meant you were now legally allowed to put a BOSS 5.4L into a kit car

One of the locals just imported a read deal GT 40 from the states...took 13 months. Spare cash for this fella is not an issue.
This thing is awesome. I can only dream

Even the old EFi windsors don't come close, so a new modular motor is the easiest way to go.

  If you fitted an eight barrel inlet manifold to a Boss and had the rear clip down, half the population wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Quote:

When Eric Broadley had a falling out with Ford the GT morphed in to the pretty aluminium monocoque Lola T70. The T70's had Aston Martin & Chev V8's (big blocks in Mark Donahue's case). Always loved the T70's (mk 3 chassis with a mk 2 body and an all aluminium Chev big block please)
