Dale SchroederJul 19, 2012 That looks like fiberglass to me, so hopefully it was just a replica.
Alex VasquezJul 19, 2012 Nooo!!!!! Another great loss!!
Daniel PetersJul 19, 2012 Incredible I actually sent this tip into them!
Greg LewisJul 19, 2012 Even if it was an original and not a rep, cars are built for a reason. To be driven. And these cars were built to be driven hard. Sometimes it happens, and sometimes it's due to unforeseen conditions. Either way, he was enjoying his car.
Kevin WatsonJul 19, 2012 πcho dan great reporting!π...ππ
Jason DannheimJul 19, 2012 I know someone who owned one of the real GT40s would definitely never take it out for more than a small trip around the block. A major highway is no place for such a car.
F1 FanaticJul 19, 2012 Hey Wyatt
If the shoe fits......
Michael GallagherJul 19, 2012 People don't read other peoples comments. thank you Cho. Sucks being replica or not. But thank goodness it only was a replica
Jon Dustin HouseJul 19, 2012 Everyone, I think Cho has something to say. Maybe.
Cho DanJul 18, 2012 This is a Superformance replica.
Amir EmaratiJul 18, 2012 Unfortunately this looks like the real thing, the hood, the size of the car can't be faked. also the wheels are original and I believe they were MADE for GT40 and the rear suspension is a match. Sad... hope no one got hurt
Cho DanJul 18, 2012 @Carlton, read the three post before yours.
Carlton SalmonJul 18, 2012 That is so sad. I just hope it was a replica.

Cho DanJul 18, 2012 The damage looks worse in the photo than it actually is. Apparently the fibreglass body was ruined, but the structure remains undamaged. All it needs is a new front nose, radiator, two rims and a set of a rear clips.
Cho DanJul 18, 2012 According to the owner, he had been travelling along the I-26 when a cloud burst happened. The car simply lost traction at around 45-50mph before hitting the barrier.
Cho DanJul 18, 2012 Rain is being blamed for an accident involving a Ford GT MkII in Tennessee. Itβs believed that the car is replica built by American company Superformance and based on the 1966 Ford GT MkII.
Dillon MageeJul 18, 2012 It better have been a replica, otherwise someone may have to die.
Maurice GambleJul 18, 2012 I really doubt the owner of a real gt40 would have the car out on a rain soaked road.
Chad HunterJul 18, 2012 Whats up with all the recent Ford GT crashes? I mean mainly the new ones have been getting into accidents but looks like the trend continues. Replica or not
Jerrod SwensonJul 18, 2012 Looking around the web looks like it was probably a Superformance replica.
Craig LafeyJul 18, 2012 I feel your pain Ford guys. What an idiot. It's such a beautiful classic
Hektor YbergJul 18, 2012 If that isn't a replica a part of fords history has just died
Bruce-Almighty TumblinJul 18, 2012 This can't be the real GT40 for this "JACK ASS" to be crashing, what a shame!
David Liebe HartJul 18, 2012 Of course, all the wild shit happens in Tennessee when I'm out of town
Kevin RehbockJul 18, 2012 Hope nobody got hurt and hope this was a replica.

Oren BlumensteinJul 18, 2012 i know what you mean keenan,
ferrari would have become much better if the deal actually went through
Keenan CasteelJul 18, 2012 I'm really glad that deal fell through! Who knows what Ferrari would have become if Ford had actually bought it.

David PurcellJul 19, 2012 I think I did 106 if it was real
Abraham MendozaJul 18, 2012 Woah Calm down David, its just simple math here.
David PurcellJul 18, 2012 Colin your a fag why are you on car buzz this isn't fag buzz
Aaron CrispJul 18, 2012 107 examples were made, that's history, nothing can change that. Now if there are only 107 examples in good condition and this one is totaled... There are 106.
Zachary MaurerJul 18, 2012 I'm really confused, carbuzz says 106 would remain if one crashed along with David, then two people say there would still be 107 β’__β’
Thibault LeroyJul 18, 2012 no they made 107 so with one less its 106
Quinn ConnerJul 18, 2012 Actually he still fails at simple math or simple reading.
His answer should read....
107 if it was a real one.
Alex VasquezJul 19, 2012 My all time fav, gulf paint job.
John JenkinsJul 19, 2012 I've seen a newer gt like this, along with the brand new srt viper and an s7 as well. not to forget the zl1 (before it was out for sale and the recall)
Abraham MendozaJul 18, 2012 Aww man I can't even fit in there.
Trey PhillipsJul 18, 2012 I met to put in my city on my previous post*
Trey PhillipsJul 18, 2012 There is one of these and it's the real thing. It's painted exactly like this. And that bastard when it rolls by you will shake your insides! It's so damn loud!
