I swear I need to win a huge lottery, lots of toys out there that I want and this one is definitely on the list.

The ERA versions were awesome and available with a stainless monocoque.

Very nice indeed. I also read that the only fiberglass pieces on the Superformance version are the front and rear clips. The rest is a steel monocoque as well.

HobieMarty, I also lusted over them, until one day at Road Atlanta I had a chance to sit in one.
Let’s just say getting in and out of it was enough to change that!
Very nice to look at, maybe I’m just getting too old!

Yes, if I win a huge lottery, a GT40 of some sort would definitely be on the list.

Same thing for the wonderful Porsche 904. Very cool looking and great race history. Just a very small car. I got to ride in a real one, and it was a fun ride, but I decided then that I was not really interested, and that was in the 1970s when they are not just insane prices, and I was young and limber.
