We had lunch today at the local Houfbrau in Redwood City.
Right across the street is a new auto dealer that is selling the GT 40's made in South Africa. They had GT 40's, Daytona Cobras as well as normal Cobras in stock. I went over there with my mechanical genius friend Paul, who really does know what he is doing, and we were both very very impressed. They had 5 GT 40's in stock. These cars are being build under license from whoever (Ford I guess) using the original designs, but updated for all new things, like brakes, etc. These SuperPerformance cars are simly beautiful, where ever you look. And at $75,000 for a roller an absoulte steal. All you have to do is put in a motor and transmission and your away. After you see one of these cars, you will never use the word "kit car" again. I got to build one of these with an all aluminum 427 with about 600hp. Probably a good hillclimb car at only 2200#'s. Those aluminum 427's weigh less than 400# and can put out 575hp or more. Big slicks, 2200#, 600HP, mid engine with great brakes and suspension. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

And that Roush 427 is a stroked Windsor... don't know much about it or power output but that would be on the net and easy to find. That is a good price given what it would cost to build too.
as for fabbing a Mustang, that is what I enjoy the most, and the funky stuff I want to do you can't buy. Additionally, a "real" TA car would be way more $$ - I could build what I want for under $100K including all sorts of crazy fab work (since I will be doing all the fab, build the engine, etc.). I would have to farm out the interior and bodywork and that is about it. I drove a friend's vintage 70 Boss 302 TA car a couple times at Willow Springs back in the early 90s and not what I am after... something more streetable this time with 750HP. |
