I love the idea of an open top Ford supercar, but I don't know about this...

I was wondering if this was ever going to be built. I LOVE it . Can't wait to see some better pictures of it.

BTW, Andy, Ford made 4 or 5 (unsure?) GT40 roadsters back in 1966 for racing. So this isn't unprecidented. I couldn't find a picture of the real car, but I did find some pics of the models you can buy. I have one, and the look without the roof is quite nice. If you click on the link below, you can see some pics of models that replicate the originals:

Ford GT40 Mk II Roadster model.

i like it but i think the butresses are a tad bulky.
I almost think this would be better if it was a targa top.

man... i dunno what to think... i think the GT is now tainted... but maybe not, maybe this is cool. I got excited when seeing the title about a GT replacement, but i guess i've accepted that ford doesn't really need a car like that. But i dunno, after seeing that video of the viper and the Z06 and the GT... they can't just drop out of that game, especially not when they're winning! well... if money is no object anyways. I think they shoulda made the Cobra Roadster. Not as sexy as the GR-1, but it woulda caught more attention for ford.

Just read that this is not a Ford project; it's a conversion kit for GT owners.
