a real GT 40?

It looks really great now. If I bought it (which I am not in the market though I lust it), I wouldn’t change a single thing. It is super cool, compact and exotic. Like a weapon.

You know it is a small car when it makes a mid year Corvette look big.

If that's real I would definitely not restore it! That'd be like washing off the history, charm, allure, whatever ya wanna call it ... and some value.

You know when you are in the presence of special people/places/moments/women/gear/things...., that is to say, the genuine article, when you encounter them. It is exactly how I felt when I came upon this car. I knew in an instant that this machine was special and authentic.

Thanks for posting Steve.
