To be clear, I have no interest in them other than something pretty to look at. I think they're beautiful. For me, I like the modern conveniences of the Ford GT. There have been some good deals on second hand GT-40 replicas over the past few years. Seen CAV's and other well made replicas sell for under $70,000 total in like new condition where the drivetrain cost the original owner half that amount (over $110,000 the original owner paid with the drivetrain). Yeah, it has power steering by "armstrong", but damn they look great! Wish the exhaust on our GT's came up over the back of the tranny like that so you could really see the "bundle". And the ones that have the webers... the look... the sound ...oh may god they sound great! That is a badass car. My car sounds incredible with the Ford Racing header set-up, but it doesn't sound this good:
