If you go to my FaceBook page, you'll also see some some of my other cool car interests. If you like GT40s you may like another gem that I shared a little bit ago.

Penske did ( and does ) such a great job at engineering and preparing their cars .
It's cool to see all the little things they did to those Trans Am Series cars .
The air flow through the body was a great idea ..

It's cool to see the whole GT40 team cars on one transporter !
Ah , the good old days , when they carried the race cars on an open trailer ..LOL !!

Von Dutch musta' come by ..
Seriously , probably the paint and body guy inside Penske did it .. They did a lot in house back then .
I'll have to dig out my copie(s) of "Unfair Advantage" and see if there is a mention of the pinstriper's name ..

Im on another board and a guy there has been in the racing game a long time. He posts pictures all the time and I think people here would enjoy them too. I'll ask if its ok to repost them here.

On another note, I have been going to some of the local car shows here and have noticed a lot of tribute cars starting to pop up.

I find pictures all over the place and don't remember where I found the GT40 picture.

It looks like they ran a panhard bar with the leaf springs.
