Dear Cobra Country:

You can mark my gorgeous 'Grabber Orange' ERA GT40 SOLD!

It's gone to a very lucky new owner in California! He purchased it sight-unseen except for those great photos that Curt Scott's "Photography for Dipsticks" tips guided me through.

Everyone who replied to my ad commented on how beautiful my GT40 is... their judgement based only on my photos! I'll advise anyone I know to read your tips before they put their next car up for sale!

Thanks for your guidance, and (of course) thanks for your renowned 'global reach' to the (GT40) market!

All of the callers commented on how beautiful that GT40 is... all based upon my photos... a salute to Curt Scott’s photoraphy tips! What a terrific place to sell a GT40!

And a special tribute to Curt Scott’s 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.

Assembled and performance-tuned by Dennis Olthoff (of famed Olthoff Racing) and crew with Olthoff parts and accessories. Powertrain: 1966 Ford 427FE side-oiler [assembled by Southern Automotive, stroked to 484 cid; 10.2:1 compression (runs on high-octane pump gas) and show-polished], outfitted with the best of everything: Eagle ‘stroker’ crank, original 2x4 tunnel-wedge single-plane intake, roller cam, Eagle H-beam connecting rods, aluminum heads, Crane gold rocker arms and pushrods, 9 qt.

GT40 Mk1 by Superformance. Guardsman Blue/white stripes. The BIG Picture: Click Here! Powertrain: 366 cid Dart block built by Lawrence Racing Engines employing the best internals possible and topped off with an 8-stack fuel injection; dyno results: 560 hp/7,500 rpm; the transaxle is a Quaife 5-speed fitted with a 3.77:1 final drive gearing—an extraordinary formula when you compare it to how these fabulous Forties are typically powered and geared. BIG Photo of powerplant: Click Here! The majority of these drivin’ machines are fitted with a Roush 427 stroker small-block V8 turning a maximum 6,000 rpm and delivering 500–550 horsepower, delivered through an antiquated ZF transaxle. The reasoning for that typical setup is twofold: the Roush is a very good engine, and can be purchased right off the shelf. Ditto the ZF, as it is also very robust. However, 550 horses in a 2,300 lb./±1,040 kilogram car with only 6,000 revs to redline means that you’re shifting a lot when accelerating through the gears. The Quaife is light years ahead of the old ZF in every respect, including durability. The reason most folks don’t choose it and use it is that it costs almost as much as the engine! Rolling stock: 15" “wineglass” Halibrand wheels shod with Avon radial rubber. BIG 3/4-rearview shot: Click Here! In the cockpit: Simpson 5 point harness drivers seat [stock belts come with the car], leather-wrapped steering wheel, ‘Gurney Bubble’–crowned drivers door. BIG Photo of cockpit: Click Here! Another BIG Photo of cockpit: Click Here! Only 750 miles and in superb condition throughout. In-Your-Face frontal shot: Click Here! $110,000 obo. Contact Joe at (516) 317-XXXX

GT40 MkII—fully sorted and rarin’ to go—by Superformance. Yellow/black interior. The BIG Picture: Click 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. BIG 3/4-view shot: Click Here! If you desire the-most-original–design GT40 on the market, then this Superformance is tailor-made for you. $88,000. I don't think you'll find a better buy on any ‘Continuation’ GT40 that is listed in the new SAAC World Registry. Contact Chuck at (864) 630-xxxx
