The Galpin Ford GTR1, a concept car derived from a 2006 Ford GT, will debut at the Pebble Beach Concours next month.

Although the car appears to have a standard type door hinge, the door itself, which includes a section of the roof, looks
very familiar (like a cross between an original GT40 door, with partial roof section on the door, and like a DeLorean door).

However, the image of the car with the door open looks like the "latch notch" on the door is pointed the wrong way.

Actual photos of the car are said to be "releasing soon", so we shall see what the final version of the door looks like soon.

Later,
Rich W.

Galpin Auto Sports was founded by the same folks that ran Galpin Motors back in the 1980's.

Galpin Motors purchased and sold many DeLoreans back in the day, especially from Consolidated.

Looks pretty much the same as their Shelby GR1 concept car from 2005. Except with the addition of the chop-your-scalp-off doors.

Those would appear to be essentially the same as the doors found on production Ford GT's. I've parked next to a few at car shows/cruises.
