The GT40 belongs to and is driven by Robert Andersson of Parkton, MD. His son races a MiniCooper. Great people and Ms. Andersson shore knows how to put out a great meal trackside.

Yes. As Jeff says.
That GT-40 is listed as a '71 but a lot of folks have told me it's a real one.
So maybe it's one of the continuation jobs they built.
I'm not sure.
The street car below was also there. Nice one, but I'm sure it's a replica.

Andersson's GT40 is a "continuation" car. Here's a snapshot of the chassis plate:
I mean to do an article on this car, but it's been on my back burner because I'm not confident there's enough reader interest and also frankly because it will take a lot of time to research and write a really strong article. When you work for tips and "clicks"...
Incidentally, at Summit Point, Andersson's GT40 is usually found parked with a stunningly beautiful and super-quick Chevron B16. I'll publish photos of that one soon.

Yep....this one.
Free Turn Five!
The Anderssons have been coming to the Turkey Bowl with the GT40 and the mini for years.. nice people.
They had some very intricate and detailed wooden models of a 917 and another (which model escapes me at the moment) which I was told was carved by Mr Andersson.
