Standing at 40.5 inches tall. Granted it's a kit car, the workmanship was no less than perfect. Ford 302 with a Porsche transmission. Forgive the cellphone pics, but I had to share the beauty with ya'll. This guy drove the car to one of the shops in our plaza to get his front windshield tinted. Afterwards, he literally slithered back into his car and took off into the sunset. The end.

Because I'm sure that is the only thing besides a Ford GT he has driven. A Taco and a Ford GT. That's it. :rolleyes: :slap:

They tinted the OUTSIDE of the windshield? What happens when a rock hits it? That seems pretty dumb to me.

i was about to say. If you had driven a 65-69, it's impossible not to love it.

Its nice..... Not to crazy for that paint scheme, I like them better black! But having a kit one is better than orignal in some cases... Cause who in their right mind would drive an orginal GT40 on the streets.

I wish ya'll could've heard it. I guess those headers made a difference when it comes to sound quality. It didn't sound anywhere like the OHV that it is, but more like an DOHC lexus V8 with a nice magnaflow exhaust. It was a very impressive car. As for why they tinted the outside, I would assume that they make a special tint that that's thick enough for outdoor use. I know the guy that does the tint has skills.
