Well phooey on all those. I love my Camaro! ...my wife doesn't care for it much, she says its getting all the money. She's right but I told her she sure looks good in it!

Gotta be satisfied with what you have I guess.

Yeah, I agree. I don't drive the GT40 much. I have a shed I keep it in along with a few other things of mine.

Whahoo johnnyreb!

That might not work with the leather seats.

Once you move the engine to the front, paint it BRG and swap for a redhead you'll have a heck of an automobile. Oh and lift it a bit so it can handle the frost heaves. 4WD would be nice with area in back for carrying logs or dirt. A tailgate would help there also. The heck with it, just get a F150 and be done with it.

All of the original Gulf Oil GT40's were race cars without AC so I encourage passengers to dress comfortably!

Here's a pair of GT40 continuation vehicles, built in South America. They were at Summit Point Raceway (WV) this past May at a vintage race event.

I have never seen one of the J.W. Automotive GT40 cars in person. I think they were planning a complete AC Ford Cobra as well, were they not? Beautiful cars in your slideshow. I especially liked the Austin Healey (100-6?). One of my cousins had a 100-4 or 100-6 that he put a 289 V8 in, in about 1969 or so. It wasn't long before we changed out the rear end & the wire wheels because he kept snapping axles.

There's more than a bit of wisdom to this.
I've taken a Volkswagon off-road a fair bit, but I've had more scares in residential areas in Edmonton than anywhere else. Getting stuck in the mud is no problem, but the streets that never get plowed basically look like a boulder park by January. You're either really good with wheel placement or you don't travel in a car.

Sports cars basically have the same restrictions as motorcycles.

Pffffftttt.
A bunch of lame slow vehicles in this thread.

Great Slideshow!

Very nice Camero! I'd post photos of my exotic super car... my Volvo, but it would just embarrass all these other cars.

Bunch of city folk with their fancy shmancy cars.
