A wooden frame was built around the car and covered with junk, entombing it for decades.

Well that's a new one.

They should put an LS motor in it.

And that's the only picture he took? On a gearhead site?

If anyone saw Legendary Motorcar on Velocity they just bought a road going version for like 3 million.

That garage find is probably way the hell up there as well due to the mk2 mods.

My dream is to have a Shelby Daytona Coupe clone, superperformance kit with something insane for a car of 2400pound weight like a 331 stroker capable of 6500+ rpm.

You're doing this on purpose!!! I have nothing against an LS motor, but there are some places they don't belong... under the hood of a GT 40 or a Pantera for instance.

Lol, busted. LS guys want to put them in everything.

One day, when I hit the lottery, I'm gonna put a 300 Ford six cylinder in a C5 Vette just to be a douche.

Steve McQueen's GT40 used in his movie Le Man went for 11 mil. This one is a racing version so it's going to worth a mint.

I'd like to build a RCR GT40 kit with a 351W, bored and stroked to 408.

They didn't find this car, I believe Tom Shaughnessy did, which means it's in good hands.

If I ever get rich I will do a frame off on a Chevy Cameo, and throw a 390/c6 combo in it just to piss people off at car shows.
