FORD GT40 MARK I RE-CREATION, 1966

$148,500 USD | Sold

This Superformance GT40 MKI re-creation is so authentic that it legally bears the name 'GT40.' This GT40 carries the GT40/P chassis number (P/2145) and can be found in the official GT40 registry. This is a street and track vehicle with just over 400 miles since the build, which was based on the original race car concept, design, configuration and dimensions. Unique to this GT40 is the brand-new Ford Racing 5.4-liter V8 supercharged engine with one-off fabricated 180-degree Bundle of Snakes exhaust and brand-new 2005 Ford GT 6-speed manual transmission.

Finished in Argento Nurburgring Silver with a Gurney bubble on the driver's side for additional headroom and the black interior features original-style suede seats with the iconic GT40 silver rivets. This GT40 boasts a factory pressed-steel roof and body manufactured out of the correct materials and is built to exacting standards. In fact, over two-thirds of the rolling chassis' parts are interchangeable with those of an original car, including the monocoque-style chassis, which was computer-engineered to allow for the upgraded engine.

Highlights of this great build include fully independent front and rear suspension, Bilstein coilover progressive shocks with H&R springs, four-wheel vented disc brakes, Wilwood four-piston calipers, aluminum radiator and oil cooler with dual electric fans and braided lines, shifter and handbrake located in the center of the tunnel, high-capacity air conditioner, black GT40 sill stripe, open-crate air intake, BRM black wheels, inverted side air scoops, twin-nostril hood, full custom front to back aluminum belly pan, BRM removable steering wheel, battery cutoff, dry sump and aluminum canards, and front and rear spoilers.
