GOOD GRIEF.....
Impressive!
One change for my fantasy would be to replace the GT-40 tribute car with a real GT-40....although that would cost enough to fund most of that collection.
Safe to say the cars are worth way more than the real estate they are sitting on.
Dreams all cost the same, so why not dream big?
OG... You have excellent taste in both automobiles and audio equipment. :wink2:Quote:

I need REAL cars that can be driven(sometimes to their limits) and enjoyed as they were originally intended. I need dirty tires, dirty fender wells, and even some wiper streaks and spattered bugs on the windshield. That is my reality.
Some folks like to show, me, i'd much rather GO!
Just my .02 of course.......................
I have my own eye candy recently purchased.

I got dizzy looking as well, and basically got frustrated with the wretched excess.
Looks great Ron... I'm liking that exhaust system and those wheels. BE SAFE MAN!
Check out this GT 40 OG.

I rolled through ther 5 minutes before it happened and they flew past my sister and did this 100 feet in front of her.
Thanks Nip. It's basically stock. Auto trans. But it's a few hundedths away from the 12's. I plan on fixing that over the winter!

Hemmings has this 1966 for sale, if you have to ask you can't afford it. I would guess in the 3-4 million range.

The real GT40's were built in the 60's. Ford sold the program to an English race team, so the GT40 trademark got away from them.
Quote from Hemmings:
"The Ford GT40 was a high performance sports car and winner of the 24 hours of Le Mans four times in a row, from 1966 to 1969 (1966 being the Mk II, 1967 the Mk IV, and 1968-1969 the oldest chassis design, the Mk I)"
They literally changed the rules to outlaw them, but as it was they were still winning 3 years after they quit building them.
I'm saving up for one of these.....
