For what it’s worth, Race Car Replicas (RCR) makes a GT40 replica. A member of our local club just purchased one.
Avoid RCR like the plague. Seriously! I provided a hefty deposit on one of their kits and after a year RCR still had not even started putting it together even though the contract specified it would be delivered in full to me in 12 weeks. I called six times in three months after no answers from RCR and the owner (Fran) finally told me he was sick of hearing from me, got pissed, and told me the would do as he damned well pleased since he already had my deposit. I sued, he drug his feet, and we ended up in mediation. I lost quite a bit of my deposit and will NEVER deal with those A$$holes again. Even one of his engineers later told me that the owner Fran treated many of the non famous customers like crap. I also found out that RCR was delinquent on delivery of cars to the movie set "Ford vs Ferrari" and it cost RCR quite a bit as well. Fran is great at making promises in person, but once he has your money, you will likely see a different side of that jerk. Not a good business person at all. Find a car in the FFR line and stick with FFR. Dave and the staff are well worth the effort.
