I wish it were so.

Actually this is the car that ruined barrett-jackson for me.

As a wee lad, the family was in downtown Denver and there, just parked on the side of the road, was a road legal brand new GT40. Not a Ford GT (that was 30 years yet to come), not a VW with a fiberglass body, but a real, wire wheel GT40.

Now when I watch Barrett-Jackson and I hear "One of three Cuda's or Camaro or Mustang or whatever in this color", I think "So What? Earl Scheib can fix that! I have seen a real GT40. That is a limited product car"

To whoever parked their GT40 on the street in downtown Denver in the late 60's early 70's, Thank You. You made an 8 year olds day/month/year.
