365GTS bring more money than the B's because of rarity. Same holds true for Hemi Verts.
I knew that the Hemi 'vert was rare, but I forgot that the coupe is not anything as rare as a
real Spyder (that's why I am the dumb money).
Mopar guys have little interest in Split Window vettes and vice versa, whatever rocks your world.
I understand this. I was just expressing my preference. I've been vintage racing for 18 years, so naturally, I would prefer a car that was made more for a road race course than a drag strip. I agree it's just a personal thing.
Fantastic cartoon (why not mail her a copy?!).
This is just my personal opinion. But I think Nancy is just in a bad mood because she doesn't have a real man in her house. You know what I mean... It's just that, well, sometimes a guy has to show his woman some real love. Otherwise, well, bad stuff happens. :biggrin
Next to the GT40, thee all time cool streetable (barely) race car. Is his a small block or big block Chevy?
I agree. If it wasn't for Lola, there may have never been a GT40 and then the Ford GT.
Ford went to Lola to help them build the GT40. Of course, the GT40 was so successful that the French finally outlawed it (FIA, Le Mans). I am looking through my notes to find the next American OA winner at Le Mans and it is.....Nobody. :frown
Now Mr. Ford only built the GT40 because that Ferrari guy would not sale his company. Sorry, but I just like old racing history as much as new racing stuff.

Having designed and built the Lola GT Mark V1 in 1964, a very pretty ground-breaking mid-engined sports-prototype, Eric Broadley then retreated to his own company in Slough and designed the Lola T70 Spyder in the fall of 1964.
A herculean effort by all at the tiny Lola factory resulted in the T70 roadster being put on display at the Racing Car Show at Earls Court, London, in January 1965 where it was the star exhibit.
