Legendary Motor Cars trip. The Rare and The Beautiful

Legendary Motor Cars Main hall, Nikon D5000,

Recently I had the pleasure of visiting one of my favorite places in the world, Legendary Motor Cars. LMC is located in the small city of Milton, Ontario, Canada, behind an industrial complex. If you haven't heard of the name you have probably seen the show. Dream Car Garage is filmed on location here. It is a quality program that currently air's on Sun TV.....I think. If you are in the area and have an interest in cars I HIGHLY suggest you take a trip their, a small 5 dollar donation net's you entrance into one of the most amazing car collections know to man. This post will cover a few of my select favorites from the trip and some rare gems.

   

Camaro ZL1, Nikon D5000

We start off with some thing that is not that rare per say but infinitely cool none the less. The Camaro ZL1, With a 580 horsepower blown V8, Their are few cars that will run you under 80 thousand that can match it on a strip. It also sounds Magnificent. 

1927 Deusenberg Model X, Nikon D5000

As you can see their is a damn good variety at this place. Here we have a 1927 Deusenberg Model X. This big beast has a straight 8 that puts out 100 hp, this enabled it to reach 100 mph, which in that day was like light speed. Would you wanna go 161 kph in this thing, gorgeous it may be but I sure as hell wouldn't. 

1962 Ferarri 250 GT, Nikon D5000

This is the gorgeous Farrari 250 Gt, 240 horsepower of screaming prancing horse. It has the classic Ferrari V12 also, a true masterpiece if I ever saw one.

2005 Ford GT, Nikon D5000

Not one but TWO ford GT's Both have 550 horsepower and top out at 212 miles an hour, These beauty's are one of very few cars that have actually gone up in value over the years. New you could pick one up for 150 thousand dollars. This was a relative bargain for what you got, Now if you want one and you could even find one, It will set you back minimum 210 thousand (at least in Canada) That's quite the jump. To see two in the same place is a rare treat.

1989 Ferrari F40, Nikon D5000

This is something special, An honest to goodness Ferrarri F40. One of only 1315 produced. A value of slightly over ONE MILLION DOLLARS. This car has a twin turbocharged 2.9 litre V8 that puts down a claimed 471 horsepower. The people who are in the know believe that number to be quite a bit higher in actuality. This is one of the only F40's I have ever seen and it is truly amazing. Chris Harris the British car reviewer once said that this car is the one. If he could have only one car to die with this would be it, I tend to agree.

1968 MK III Ford GT 40, Nikon D5000

The piece De resistance, What you see here is a 1968 MK III Ford GT 40. This is one of seven ever built. In 1968 Ford built seven street legal promotional cars with a 289 V8 that was de-tuned to 335 horsepower. This is one of the original seven cars it is worth 3.5 MILLION dollars. You will never see another one. It's kind of amazing to think that a car collection like this is in Milton Ontario.

Oh yeah and the blue Mustang beside the GT40 is a one of one 1967 model that was used by to demo all the improvements for the 1968 and 1969 model year. it's worth about a Million dollars also. LMC did a full ground up restoration on it.
