[DeTomaso] How did they do that, GT-40 Proto-type sold for two million and change, ok no Pantera content

[P. Rimov]

I was watching a HD show called million dollar auctions last night and one of the cars that rolled across the RM auction block was none other than the original GT-40 prototype with a 289. The car was just beautiful and sold for two million and change and the engine was really tits. The carbs were mounted were the exhaust normally are and the exhaust pipes were mounted where the intake usually resides. How did they do that ? I have never seen a motor designed or reconfigured in  that manor but it looked just, well tits. Very exotic looking, like something Austin Martin, Alfa or Ferrari would have come up with. 

Cheers
