TPS Motorsports: CAV GT40 Walkaround & Idle Vid

[MR. STALLION]

Browse Album :: John's 66 CAV GT40


Every so often we get a rare exotic in the shop for some work. Aside from the usual Corvettes, Mustangs, Camaro's, Challenger's, & Nismo cars.

We recently finished up some work on a 427ci GT40.....i snapped a quick vid and thought u guys might enjoy.

Here is a quick size reference.
You can see the size difference between this and a foxbody.

That is freaking SWEET. Looks tiny. Anyone got a side by side comparison next to a new Ford GT?

 

[brainpa]

Oh My God.

That is all.

 

[coposrv]

[JSTBCUZ]

[TurboBird]

It looks extremely tiny next to that mini, the mini looks like a fullsize car. LOL.

Bad-ass, OP! Thanks for sharing and here's a beer for you since you're so far away...

I bought this CAV last January on BAT. Still in great condition, prior owners hardly drove it. Not really surprising with 550 to the tires in 2200lbs, bat shit crazy to drive. If anyone knows any history on the car I'd love to hear it.

Sounds great

 

[CobraBob]

Nice, congratulations! It does sound great, but I was hoping for a short actual-drive vid.

The GT40 is my favorite car, period. However, I’d far prefer to have this over an original so I could enjoy actually driving it. You bought a perfect example. As mentioned, stunning!

Speaking of favorites, mine from the video:
1. Flip flops (I’m in FL)
2. The cars in the background. All of them. Holy shit. More info please. Maybe skip the Prius if that’s what that was. Definitely skip the Prius.

I'll start a new thread with some fresh video in a few weeks. That video was created by the sellers step son. The seller is 72 and to say his wife was ecstatic the car was going down the road is an under statement.

Anyways, I've been hanging around SVT since the great 2013 GT500 release with not much to share till now.
