    A GT 40 is a beautiful thing,
    A GT 40 in motion is twice as beautiful.
    I've never wanted to be rich, until Ford, made the then new GT.
    I turned the page in Car & Driver, and there was a red with white stripes.
    Then I wished I could afford one.
    I know it's not the same,
    but it'd be close enough for a mere mortal like me.
    This film stirred those same feelings.

      Build quite an accurate replica for a little more than a fake Cobra. I had a sit in a replica recently, wow it was really something. Pedals out of line with the seat and steering wheel just lime the genuine cars and running a 347 stroker, so not an expensive engine to build.
