All I can do is smile! The sound of that 427 is music.
 
WOW! Thanks.
 
Very Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Awesome. Thanks GTJoey, you lucky bugger you.
 
That is beyond cool...

Extremely cool!
 
that was cool!
 
Wow!
 
That was awesome. I loved the Digital Clock on the dash, nice touch...

For what its worth, and I know the manufacturers hands are tied, but our modern GTs and the GT40 have an engine/exhaust sound that will be lost forever as the new TTV6s become the new performance standard.
 
Extremely jealous...but thank you for sharing. Music to the ears.
 
Thank you GTJoey................................It must be wonderful being you...............................(cant figure out how to do the smileys....lol)
 
Your a lucky man, One to have had one at your place and two to be behind the wheel of it as well. WOW!
 
What a fine piece of history, Thanks Joey !!
 
Hey guys, yes Lee H. has about 15 exact reproduction frames and bodies, kind of like when shelby had those old bodies and wanted to do continuation cars...H e can be reached at his facility, they are around 500,000 for the exact repro. Imsaying repro but alot of the parts are original gt40, all the original molds, they do inter change with the original gt40, minus the door tag and the old gas line INSIDE THE CAR, its the same car, tooling and all.....
Guys our new GT'S are lincoln town cars compared to this thing, BUT......what a ride , not for long, but what a ride, gives you a real respect for the old but appreciation for the new...........so enjoy the video, its ruff but we didnt want to over dub anything. P.S. the only way you were able to hear what i was saying was due to a microphone on the camera AND A FLY ON MY POCKET.....2 mics, or forget it , I still hear buzzing.....:biggrin gtjoey1314
 
Almost forgot, the camber and setings were left at KEN MILES LIKING.......pretty cool huh.......gtjoey1314
 
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joey for President
 
Awesome Joey.....the FORD GT was my dream car as a kid in the 60's. I still have models of the FORD GT (MK I, II and IV) that I built in the 60's and a copy of the Car Life magazine where they did a road test on the GT40 MKIII................You are a lucky guy!

New product idea - a generation from now when all the cars are electric buzzmobiles, someone will have to put that 427 engine audio as one of the selectable tracks to choose on your "road noise" control knob. Can't you just hear that coming up behind you, then see a Smart car in the mirror.
