You guys are missing out on some high quality, Ford oriented fun. Sears Pt is a great track and the trips to Denbeste Motorsports and The Cobra Experience are always worth the drive.

Wow! At a minimum you'd want at least a full weekend to take all of that in. Glad you had a great time. What an experience!

Thanks for posting Andy. Incredible, unprecedented automotive engineering, metallurgy, machining skills, and pure craftsmanship for the time period.

Can a price even be put on these?
If so, are they $1, $2, $5 million???

It was a helluva two weeks between Car Week in Monterey and SAAC-50 in Sonoma. SAAC-50 was probably the best car event I've ever been to.

You're welcome. I'm not sure what the value is on those engines. I don't think that high since I think you can get a running and driving GT40 from the sixties for 5M. I talked to a guy once who had a GT40 replica he was building. He found a set of Gurney Eagle heads and bought them from a guy who didn't know what he had.
