I had two of those, stripped the shell of one and used it as a calving sled. I think the other is under the woodpile.

Funny thing is, some fool of an owner will one day fire it up, and maybe even drive it.
Every seal & gasket will then sprout leaks & it will need a full on resto !

I was fortunate enough to view an original GT40 at the Barret Jackson auction show. These cars are even more beautiful in 'person'. One seriously sexy machine for sure!
