(Sigh!)
I was just looking through Dave Friedman's books on the Chaparral and Ford
and the wish-bank went into overload.
Sorry about that.

m4driving Italia is cooking up something for F1C you might like then.
Slightly later era and a different series, but some very sculptured hardware
to have a spin in.
Can't reveal more I'm afraid, not in public anyway... it's a bit hush-hush.

Good news & bad news.
The Good News: The sim you are looking for is in production.
The Bad News: The rights are owned by West Racing.

I saw their amazing site last week and I'm a believer.
The important thing they understand is that none of
us is interested in racing unless all the virtual beads
on all the virtual welds in all the virtual space frames
have that proper overlapped look from any light source.
How would you like to see a car spin in front of you,
and have your racing experience ruined because the wrong
type of valve was used in it's wheels?
I'm just kidding. It's a wonderful thing they are
doing, and I'm saving up for a quad 6GHz Itaniam system
to run it.
Good luck West brothers. I admire your commitment
even if I don't understand your priorities.
In the mean time, some of us might use a little humor
while we wait.

There definetively is room on my budget to get a GPL equivalent for Sport
Prototypes from the '60s-early '70s.

Cheapo solution: Get SCGT w/AOE and just download all the cars ;)

Ah the good old days when it was called "streamlining" not "aerodynamics" and
the cars didn't look like the boxes they came in. Ferrari P3/4 and the Cobra
coupes were far and away the sexiest looking cars of all time.

always considered the Ford GT MkIV (not the Mk2 which was merely brutal) to
have a fine iron-fist-in-a-silk-glove style of elegance to it that served as
a fine counterpoint to the P3's. Unfortuneatly the coming of the "age of
Aero" quickly degenerated the Ferrari into the finned and flippered later
cars.
Favourite of the time is probably the Zagato bodied Alfa GTZ. Saw one in the
metal several years ago at a Vintage Racing meet and fell in love all over
again. Beautifully balanced design for a small front engined car that looks
better than the Mk 1 GTO's
To keep on topic: yes please! I'll be delighted to see a mod for this era of
Sport Cars/Prototypes. Preferably on a Papyrus chassis. The current fashion
for modding slightly resembles the old independent coachwork artists of the
30's and later who built their splendid creations on top of a solid chassis
and drivetrain supplied by a major manufacturer. Let Papyrus , ISI,
Codemasters and the host of independents come up with their best ideas on
drivetrain and engine while the more talented members of the community
supply bodies and graphics to the more specialized tastes (such as 1960's
sports racing cars). Let the virtual Carroisiers (?Spelling? my french is
atrocious) roll!

On my hard drive?
<ducks & runs>
Actually, it can be found here & there. It's not exactly impossible to
come by, I'd guess (and dirt cheap, too).
