yeah its definatly a fake- im a gt-40 nut- I should know- its a lot of what SVTContour said- also a clue are the filler caps- the real ones are a round top not almost flat like these ones- the car also sits a little high for a real gt-40. Has correct trigo halibrands- but those were used only on a few cars as the early MK III street cars had boranni wires and the later MKII and MKI had BRM knockoffs. - the NACA ducts are also fake- that would be a real problem on a real gt-40 as the driver would almost literally cook- gt-40's are terrible as to cooling for the cockpit. also the radiator evac scoop angle is not correct. it is also a MK II evac scoop on a MK I rear body section. Also many of the originals with this scoop had a small bulge at the traling edge to cover a spare tire required for many races, this one does not.
well anyone who wants to see a real one and is in the northern Utah area stop by my work-
www.kirkhammotorsports.com and you can see a few- we went to California this week end to pick up MK I # 1006 or #1009 I cant remember and we are negociating to buy a MK II and are negociating to obtain for a period of time a J-car (MK IV) of which only twelve were originally built and at least three destroyed. (others of which were Can-Am cars and dont even look like the GT-40 MK IV)
