Re: Grand Sport #1
Bill there was a GT40 in a garage in La Grange?????
  Tell more stories! What were some of the rarest cars that you guys had come though your place back then? How much did you sell them for? Who were some big early collectors in this area?

Re: Grand Sport #1
On a sad note, a bad accident on the front straight at the Road America vintage races last weekend resulted in severe damage to 1966 Shelby Mustang #2 and the near death of the driver.
The car had to be cut apart to remove the driver, the top and side door were cut off to save him. I had been looking at the car in the pits over the weekend, what a shame. GS #1 has been at the Brian Redman event a number of times, lost a wheel a few years ago and hit the guard rail doing a fair amount of damage.

Re: Grand Sport #1
--------Am very sorry to hear that, Tim. Vintage racing is still racing and bad things happen. Ill keep the owner in my thoughts. Please keep us informed about his recovery!
--------Frank,,,,Biggest mistake I ever made in regard to passing up purchasing opportunities was that GT-40. I could have owned it for $30,000 completely restored to a pretty high standard. $30,000 back in the late 70s was just about house money though and after all.....it was a Ford........Bill S
