Adam needs to take these car interviews out for a drive on the freeway with the guest. Adam not being asked to drive the car is insulting to adam and his fans.
Hmm, an insult to the guests and Adam? Take it easy. I got a ride in the car, and I think Adam did too, we just didn’t have a camera mounted in the car. Maybe on the next round of Featured cars we might stuff a few with a recorder and camera. Maybe.

Thank you.
THE finest car show on the internet, period! take THAT jay’s garage.
Thanks!
can’t agree more–the people that turned adam down for the american top gear show have their heads up their asses. i’ve been saying for a while adam and sandy need their own tv show. it would blow those other lame car shows out of the water. keep up the good work guys, it’ll happen one day and i’ll be there to watch every episode.
Wanted very much to watch this piece but Motorator is not running on all cylinders (again) – any chance you could throw this up on youtube or something else instead?
Peter are you still having issues with the video. I have played it when released and a couple of times and have not seen anything.
Sandy
Thanks – seems back on track – apologies if this is just a local connection issue – wonder if others have had this problem?
Have not had any email or other comments. But if you do have any issues please let me know and I’ll make sure the Motorator guys are on it. They are good about a fast turn around on any problems we have had.
Sandy
Imagine a highly desirable vintage car like this built with only a reasonable amount of power and practicality in mind. And by the time this thing changes hands in another generation or two might be surprised at how many miles that got put on the car, until they drive it and have to work on it…….very nice.
how does he not drive all these sick ass cars?
he doesnt ask?
Hi Everybody,
I failed to mention the help I got from Cory Gehling at “Collector’s Choice” in Dane, Wisconsin for preparing the -2 ZF gearbox and Lloyd Butfoy at “RBT” transmissions in Southern California for the special GT40 parts needed to fit it into my car.
Jack
Beautiful car Jack! I love that you drive it and made sure it would be reliable and comfortable. I also agree about the choice of carbs, Holleys are plentiful and easy to work on; webers are not so much. I think it would be cool if you added some numbers (vinyls maybe?). And what brand and type tires do you run? I am having a hard time finding ones I like for my ’71 stingray (also 15 inch rim); the ones on your car look awesome..
Hi Mike,
Thanks for the compliments!
The tires on the car are Dunlop “GT Qualifiers”
295/50 r15 rear
225/50 r15 front
I don’t know if they are still available but you could call around.
Jack
Nice language being used around the little kid.
Yeah. Sonny’s gonna raise his hand the first day of school and say, “I need to go to the fuckin’ bathroom.”
Very nice car. I was wondering if there is any room at all for luggage. Dave
Sure, just don’t have a passenger
. It’s pretty much a 2 seat car with not much room for anything else. Really just a race car, But people have figured out ways to carry stuff. Just need to be creative.
Sandy
Lov your ride and the color. Is that a CAV steering wheel? Was that Gurney bubble factory installed or added later? I’m in the process of purchasing a 2009 CAV. Are those the factory position for the rear view mirrors? What thoughts or advice do you have, if any?
Cheers, Robert
