A Friends new ride!

[JLPurcell]

I have a friend that collects "Tanks" and cars. His latest project was to find an original right hand drive Ford GT40 and have it cloned to original race specifications. Here is the result....

I would be lying if I were to say that I am not a bit jealous. Dave has great taste in cars!

Drool!  I'm not sure what I like more the car, all that land or the man cave in the back! My wife would never see me!

That's a lot of money right there. It's amazing how small that car really is...

He looks to be too big for that small car.  Stay close - he'll probably be looking for friends to exercise it for him!

I never know when to take you seriously Jerry.  That's a Superformance http://www.superformance.com/Photoalbum_contents.aspx?Albumid=60

Nice car!

Chris, I will have to give him a call and check. But according to his post he found the chassis in South Africa and had the car rebuilt to original specs. Maybe he is pulling my leg? He has a bottomless pit for resources. He has a number of collector cars and a larger number of restored military tanks, (his true passion), from all different countries and time periods. All are restored and in working order. I will have to give him a call, good opportunity to visit his man caves.

 If Dan Gurney could fit in one with a helmet, I think your friend can do it too. Note the Gurney bubble on the top.

I bet there'd be a lot of us interested in the cars and tanks he has. Maybe he'd let you take some pics and post them for us to drool over. That's my all time favorite dream car, Gulf Ford GT40, that I can't afford. I'll have to settle for my Z and Fairlady.

Dave's Viper......... I will have to take a look at photos of his military tanks and post them when I get time.

Nice!  GT40's one of my dream cars.

Jerry, no offense intended because I have such respect for the Superformance GT40 but go to their website and look at their photo album.  Is not that the car?  Yea, he "found" the chassis in South Africa because that's where they are made!  And they are damned nice replicas.  Real GT40 chassis are pretty well documented.  Whats his serial number?  Ha ha.

Also of special interest concerning Superformance is their recreation of Pete Brocks Daytona Cobra.  The first time I met Pete, he was driving one.

I think that vinyl roof needs stronger adhesive...
