Not too many cars make me drool, this did

[Furyos J]

yep, was at the last Beach Hop, there was something not 'right' with its engine or engine bay, can't remember what.

Im thinking it may have had a 6 trumpet fuel injection system (the genuine one at beach hop) kinda in the "hillborn" style, but stubby trumpets. May have to trawl thru my BH photos and find it now!

I'd rather have a decent kit car repro than a "real" one: the real ones are waaaaay too valuable to drive on our roads, particularly with NZ drivers.

There are usually a couple for sale on tardme, sort of between $70 and $100k asking.

Looks like an original to me with it's big block motor.

This one is a kit car.

Nah, not an FE engine and doesn't look like big-block at all IMHO.

Sorry if this is a hijack, but here are some pics from BH 2010, of the genuine gt40,looks like a 8 throttle body injection, awsome!!, and the last pic is a couple of cars that push my buttons, my mates flat black cuda, and another mates bannana yellow charger, the other POS is our fury when it was flat black back in 2010

I recognise some of the cars - didn't realise there was another KBer there - and also in his Yank car!

This for some reason reminded me of the GT70. I'm going to clean my brain with the angle grinder to get it out of there.

On Trade Me now.

Motor is Boss 302 (a Windsor with Cleveland heads as a rough explanation)

Wouldn't that give it the funny "boss" set up or am I thinking of the other way round?

I love those gt 40s, it could be a real one, there is one up Auckland ways. I had a real good look at it the last beach hop, Whangamata (or maybe the beach hop before) and talked to the owner. And it was a genuine gt40, with a hand built dry sump 427 (i think, my memory is always a bit hazey) rebuilt by the shelby factory, had a couple of vivid scribbles on it, by some dude ive never heard of, Carol Shelby i recall. Same dude owned a Detomaso Pantera parked next to it.

Our neighbour-across-the-road has a De Tomaso Pantera (and a couple of Porsches). The Pantera makes our walls rattle when he starts it up...

.Beautiful example of one of Fords finest all the same.

Yeh not bad, but the 'best' ford powered car for looks STILL has to be the Cobra

Great looking car but after driving one I found it hard to judge the front as it disappears over the bonnet whan parking, let alone on a gymkarna course.

That '62 Mistral I had was a 'poor mans AC' - Still got that written on the boot. (The Mistral's on TradeMe at the moment, have a look.)

Like a go-kart on steroids, most 'funnest' car I've had.

Not likely. They only built 7 Mk III's, and I'm pretty sure none of them are here.
If that's the one that used to be on show at Gasoline alley, it's a 289 kit based on the Christchurch manufactured kit.
