    Ford GT vs. S&P 500

    Last year when Jeff Beck played Tampa we attended the offshore boat races in Clearwater. We were suppose to have a road trip to Colliers museum and never made it because we spent all our time on the water when different teams gave us rides. I'm going to meet up with him tomorrow before his gig...

    Gulf Racing Collection-ROFGO Collection

    I was asked once in my garage why I just had a black and red GT there and not a heritage. I told him if I wanted one I would get an original and not a tribute. There is a GT-40 on the site below just click on vehicles for full collection list and give it some time to load. Great selection...

    Ford GT vs. S&P 500

    I was never a Porsche guy sort of ignore them but not anti-Porsche. Miles my friend in Naples is a Porsche guy. Will get a chance to take some laps in Abu Dhabi come November before the race in many vehicles. There was a good side article in the August R & T supercar issue going into how in...

    Ford GT vs. S&P 500

    Well I don't purchase any vehicles for investment purposes. I still can not believe prices of Dino's! Never liked them back then and still not now. I'm extremely prejudiced with Boxers. With my buddy Cozy we broke the NY to LA record in a 512BB prepared by some of the Chinetti guys(Jean...

    Ford GT vs. S&P 500

    Not sure if the top part you are referring to P1 and not F1. As far as production the F1 is much older than ten years. Production basically from '92 -'98, making the F1 16-22 years old. There's a beautiful white one for auction next week.

    Ford GT vs. S&P 500

    Nice to see Dubai property still gaining. When the credit crunch hit there you wouldn't believe all the abandoned supercars left by the roadside. You get jailed for debt in that country. I advised the small players to stick it out but many ex-pats ran back to Britain. I think anyone buying...

    GT40 P108 Roadster Prototype

    I had emailed Dean's son a few weeks ago and he told me that what was left was going to stay in the family. I didn't get into any specific car because there was no point in any further discussion of a possible purchase.

    I had a chance to drive many variations of the 917 over the years. I spent many laps in ones owned by Otis Chandler who is no longer with us. I'm not much of a Porsche guy however in the fall when I have to visit Bugatti and McLaren on business I do want to make a special trip here...

    Best GT40 for racing ?

    Nothing to apologize over I like most vehicles also. I think I asked my previous question because someone commented about the vacation being over(Chris A). Well I better not post what I did on another site when one posted about Ford GT being one of his favorites. "Ten automobiles I rather own...

    Best GT40 for racing ?

    Do you guys have issues when GT40 is mentioned? The OP did ask if a race prepared GT was a good alternative to a 40 replica, right? By the way had a wonderful ride a little while ago in a yellow J out of Westchester.

    To Collect another GT ?

    Slightly different doors but may want to check out any of the M-B SLR McLaren. I have no idea of current prices/values but always a quality product. I have three sisters I pulled from our overseas shop in our west coast garages. '09 Stirling Moss, 722S, and '11 McLaren Edition(Final). The...

    Burbank: Auctions America

    Sorry I spelled Auctions wrong in title. I still can not edit or make posts in other sections. I think that Kirkham went for $103,000. when he lifted the reserve. Badge looks a little off center on the front hood with the stripes but still this Kirkham looked great in person. Not sure about...
