New Matech GT's to the stable (pic inside)

[racelance]

Steven,

Please stop posting these pictures! You're killing me... I'm already excited to get the cars delivered and now that they are in the US I still haven't seen them. It won't be long before they are in our garage. I have a funny feeling Greg will be making a quick flight in to see them prior to the Carlisle Ford Nationals - he's just as excited as I am! I love this hobby...

Cheers,

Lance

I am so happy for you guys...and a little jealous....I wonder if the forum sponsor names are still on them?

All the sponsor stickers are both on and inside the two Matech cars 60 and 61

Thanks! Greg and I are super excited, two of the three containers cleared customs. We're waiting (anxiously) for the final one to clear and we'll be smooth sailing. This is the third time I've shipped cars from overseas - not a fun task! I'll be sure to post some pics once the cars arrive, it should be this Tuesday!

Life is good,

Lance

Congrats and simmering jealousy! Seriously what an exciting accomplishment! Hope to see them one day; My name is in the 2 blue 60 and 61!

Thank you, we're excited (as you can tell!). You'll need to come out and visit them during the Carlisle Ford Nationals coming up in a couple of weeks or check them out at the Rally in October!

Cheers,

Lance

We took one of the cars out last evening around the Carlisle fairgrounds...

Loving life,

PS This was the first time the car ran on US soil.

Good thing the brakes work, subway would have looked different this weekend. Looking forward to seeing them.

Rolling art!
Most definitely the coolest racecar ever made !

Yes sir, Greg and I would like to free up some money so we can purchase some fuel to play with these incredible cars. In reality we're excited to let one go... they are incredible cars and we're hoping for a good home!

Mecum is working on a really nice catalog specifically for the car, this will be out in the near future. All of the updates have been implemented and the pictures all look great. We just had the car fully gone over - the wheels will look just like new, the engine compartment will be cleaned so you can eat off of it and new lens covers to really make the car pop (not that it didn't before our efforts). We've had some interested parties and thought going this route would be our best bet - there will be a reserve on the car.

Cheers,

Lance
