> I'm not even a "car guy" but I sure would love to have one of those GT40's from Ford vs. Ferrari. (With a working door :))
Ah... I looked into that.
Good news: Ford sold the rights and the tooling for the GT40 (and hence lost the right to use the name "GT40", which is why their modern "GT40" is called simply "Ford GT") and a company called "Superformance" still creates new Fort GT40, which are nearly entirely compatible, parts for parts, with the original ones.
The Superformance cars are more than "replicas": they like to call their cars "continuation cars" (for they're made with the original tooling and they do own the rights to produce the GT40 and AC Cobras).
It's not the "real" thing in that they aren't from the 60s/70s, but then you can have one for 100 K (Superformance AC Cobra) or 200 K (Superformance GT40) instead of millions.
I've got a few cars and may buy a Superformance AC Cobra at some point. They even have the old Carroll Shelby chassis number starting with "CSX". The other AC Cobra replicas don't get to have a chassis starting with the elusive "CSX...".
