The most expensive car I have ever had in my shop.


One of four made and only two remaining.

I've been in love with the GT40 ever since I got my first Matchbox one at age 6. Thanks for posting that.

I'm not that familiar with the different models of these. What is different about the GT40B? There is a guy here locally that has a blue original GT40 but i have no idea what series it is?

The "B" in the GT40 was a typo. The unique feature of this one is that it's a Targa.

Not sure I'd advertise having that rare beast in the shop unless you have killer security and insurance....

I waited till the car was gone before saying anything. Exactly for that reason.

Ahhh. I wondered about that. Smart man. Very cool car!


Did it make you sweat a bit having that in your care?

Dude! Why didn't you let me know? I need to take a look at the interior of one. I have a shift knob project for a Ford GT.
