Yeah the Falcons did seem to end up with a few GT40 parts, I guess that was the Alan Mann connection. I guess GT40s are a bit like Cobra's. Looking back now, the prices paid for them does seem pretty cheap, but at the time would have still been fairly expensive. Its just they weren't stratospheric. But from what I understand, the fact O'Neil obtained GT40 parts even at the time was considered a pretty big deal.
