It looks like Reliable Carriers Inc.will have the privilege of doing the delivery of the Gt in the United States.Really a neat piece we also do all the shipments of the Dodge viper.

My local dealer quoted me a price of over 400,000 I told
him I could buy a real GT-40 for less. The dealers are trying to get rich on this one, with only 1 car per dealership

nice car.... slightly larger than the original GT-40... Anyone remember the bubble they had to put in the door to accommodate the helmet on Dan Gurney because he was so much bigger than the other drivers?

I thought it was odd that the car isnt called the GT-40. Turns out that Ford let the rights to the name lapse, and now someone that builds a GT 40 kit car actually owns the name. They offered to sell it back to ford, but they wanted huge $$$$. Ford passed.
The original got its name because the car's roofline was 40" high. So i guess GT-44.3 doesnt have the same ring to it.....Sweet car though.

If my memory serves me correctly... Ford didn't build the chassis.... they were built in England by a constructor. I think the guy that owned the company is still around... I know back in the 80's you could still buy a GT-40 chassis. Unfortunately they were right hooks. Carrol Shelby was brought in later to help develop the car for racing. The early ones weren't very competitive.

I guess Ford seen too many Vipers selling. I bet they would sell good :)

Saw it at the Detroit auto show - they had a billet license plate on the back that read:

"Built in Detroit. That's right, Detroit."

Same thing on the 2005 'Stang, only it read:

"Built in Detroit, as God intended."

Definitely some attitude at the Ford display...
