There was a Ford GT40/Fiero rebody at the Fiero Festival this past summer. It was yellow and not quite finished. I seen it...I know it was there...I have photos.lol. Does anyone know who makes this kit ?

The one at the show was for sale. Does anyone know who the owner was/is ?

Dale,

Was the plate #GT 40 ? If so I saw it at Twin Lakes this year. (Yellow with a HELL of a good sounding engine) Its made by ASPP (520)689-0100.

Here is a photo of the Louisville GT40.

Can't make out the logo on the back. A web address?

Thats the one Old Lar. I'm not sure what the plate # was Haze. Thanks for the phone number...I'm gonna call them on Monday and see if they have any literature

I have a PISA Artero KIT for sale ... $3500 OBO. PISA sells it now for $5000 (but you get a dash and some other things with that $5000 cost.)

From PISA's web site:

Also, take a good look at the wheelwells of the GT40 kit ... you will find you can NOT lower the car enough to make the wheelwells looks good with the tires/wheels.

RCC has been approached several times for products to lower the car enough so that this kit would look right but to get the kit low enough, you end up with about 2" of clearance under the car ... i.e. undriveable.

I don't mean to insult or belittle anyone, but that GT40 kit on a Fiero body is just awful.
I've seen an original road going version of the GT40 (Valkyrie GT), and even in desperate need of restoration it was still very beautiful.
In my opinion, a GT40 replica is not suited to a stock fiero space frame. For starters, the Fiero is six and half inches too tall. The frame would still have to be stretched to make room for a longitudinal 427... which is really the only engine to put in a GT40 replica.
Check out www.supercars.net for a few pictures of original GT40's.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see it done right; but the one in the picture is just not done right.

BTW, the logo on the back of the "Louisville GT40" says "Suspension by RCC Specialty"

Will, I'm not really looking for originality. I just like the look. There has always been some folks who look down thier noses at any kit or replicar. No matter how close a copy it is. I can just see myself cruising down Clairmont Ave. and having everyone rubbernecking to get a look at my Ford GT40. (Just entered the dream state...lol) The vast majority of folks out would have no clue as to how close a copy it is. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess.

Buy the way that is a awesome website !!! Thanks

Oh Yeah, the first Ford GT40's came with a 289cid small bock.

Major errors at supercars.net website. How about a 1984 Fiero GT??
http://209.25.185.210/SDBQ?y=1984&m=Pontiac&o=Fiero%20GT

Or a 1983 Fiero SE http://209.25.185.210/SDBQ?y=1983&m=Pontiac&o=Fiero%20SE

I wonder what else they screwed up??

I recommended supercars.net for its pictures, not its information

I don't look down on all kit cars. I try to judge each on its own merits.
I think that the proportioning of Fiero based Countaches is better than the originals.
I think that the Fiero based GT40 is fine as a Fiero rebody, but a GT40 it isn't precisely because fo the aforementioned proportioning.
Kind of like the Mera vs. the Ferrari 308, except the Mera actually looked very much like the 308.

MkI & III GT40's had 289's, but the MkII's & IV's had 427's.

Hey Old Lar or anyone for that matter... Does anyone got a good pic of the Ford GT40 Mark II ? The one at the Festival is a Mark I. Or actually any more pics of either ?

Dale, here are some more of the Louisville one...
