Ford GT 40s for sale by owner

For Sale: 2009 Superformance GT40P/2177 MkI ‘Gulf’Gulf Blue livery, all period-correct. The BIG Picture: Click Here! This GT40 replicates the appearance and the menacing persona of the 1969 24 Hour Le Mans–winning GT40. If you’re perhaps confused by so many GT40 look-alikes, rest assured that your Superformance GT40 is an authentic GT40 Continuation Car. BIG Photo of powerplant: Click Here! Superformance is the only make to be accorded GT40 chassis numbers. Superformance is an industry leader in the replica business, and has gone as original as possible without sacrificing quality or drivability. The steel monocoque chassis is built and prepped the same as the original GT40s. These GT40s are fitted with custom Bilstein coil-over type shocks with springs set up for an optimal blend of handling and ride. The brakes have been upgraded from the dated Girlings of the ’60s to Wilwood’s ‘Superlite Series’ of 4-piston calipers. It’s set up with factory air conditioning, which is deftly concealed in a reconstruction of the original dry-sump oil tank. BIG Photo of rear/engine deck: Click Here! This Forty has logged only 115 miles—test miles only. It features a fully warrantied Roush Performance powerplant (starting as a 351 Dart block, punched out to 427 cid) producing exactly 515 dyno-evidenced horsepower and 525 ft./lbs. torque. It’s finished with a polished manifold, black billet aluminum valve covers, and is paired with a fully-polished ZF-based transaxle. In-Your-Face frontal shot: Click Here! $115,000.

Under the engine deck: Roush 427SR outputting 541 horsepower/ 521 ft.lbs. torque, 10.25:1 compression ratio, and outfitted with: Roush proprietary twisted-wedge cam, fully CNC ported intake hydraulic roller lifters Holley 770 cfm carburetor, 9.5" deck Dart 4-bolt main, forged #4340 steel crank, all internally balanced, forged #4340 steel H-beam rods, Wiseco pistons forged w/t plasma moly rings & lightweight rings double-roller timing chain, powder-coated 8 qt oil pan.

For Sale: GT40 MkII by Superformance, SFO#2168. Onyx Black/silver racing stripes. The BIG Picture: Click Here! Under the engine deck: naturally-aspirated Roush build Shelby 427SR stroker small-block V8, outfitted with Shelby valve covers and aircleaner—these are not sold separately and come only with a Shelby/Roush-built engine, and bundle-of-snakes exhaust headers; you get a Roush 2-year warranty and a dyno sheet attesting to 510 horsepower and 470 ft.lbs. torque (all at ±4,500 rpm). The engine and transaxle install was executed by the undisputed masters—Olthoff Racing, in North Carolina. BIG Photo of powerplant: Click Here! Nothing was spared in finalizing this build, including the bulletproof RBT-ZF $11,000 German transaxle. The suspension features the original, Ferrari-trouncing GT40 layout. So original are the GT40 continuation models, that most of the parts are interchangeable with an original ‘Forty.’ The Superformance ‘Continuation Series’ of GT40s built are under license by Safir Spares LLC, holders of the GT40 trademark (something even Ford could not arrange with their “Ford GT”); this car is an amazingly correct duplicate of the winning car, with the same exacting paint scheme. Original Goodyear Blue Streak tires are available for you, if 100% accuracy is what you desire. However this is not a “race only” car, and is appropriately fitted for both street and track driving. In the cockpit: outfitted with original-style seats covered with the optional original-style German leather, 4-point racing-harness safety belts, Smiths gauges, and an original-style quick-removable steering wheel; the (very efficient) air conditioning system includes an evaporator unit cleverly disguised as a mock-up dry sump, placed in the original sump position. BIG Photo of cockpit: Click Here! This Forty will comfortably fit a 6'-2" driver. It currently has 900 miles on it and has never been titled, as the owner experienced medical issues shortly after taking delivery only 8 months ago. This car has no dings or paint blemishes, and has never been driven in inclement weather—it’s in as-new condition in every respect, and it runs, drives and handles superbly. You also get a custom car cover. I’m the selling dealer and have pledged to get this customer a reasonable price for his very exceptional ‘Forty.’ It’s priced very reasonably, with tens of thousands of dollars to be saved by the lucky new owner. Closeup shot of twin cooling fans: Click Here! $99,000 obo. Contact Doug Reed at (225) 223-5330 CDT (cell), or email: ReedCobra@aol.com

GT40 For Sale by ownerGT40 Mk1. Ford Racing Red/ Wimbledon White racing livery. This crimson Mk1 is the crème de la crème—an indisputably ultra-premium/period-correct Mk1 reproduction engineered and built by famed Race Car Replicas of Michigan.

For Sale: GT40 MkII by Superformance, Serial# GT40/P2190. Titanium/Onyx Black stripes. The BIG Picture: Click Here! If you’ve been waiting for a real GT40 that is a bit more than what is commonly available, then take a look at this masterstroke of automotive art. Under the engine deck: Keith Craft–designed the powerplant specifically for this fabulous Forty, with these specifications: 438 cid Dart block, Eagle 4340 crank, Eagle forged H-rods, Maule dish pistons, AFR flow-matched aluminum heads, velocity stack fuel injection, 627 hp and turbine-smooth/ neck-snapping acceleration. BIG Photo of powerplant: Click Here! Coupled to its rugged M1/ZF transaxle this Forty is a veritable monster. Take special notice of the carbon fibre air box and the external battery terminals. It’s outfitted with all of the standard features you expect from Superformance, who builds the only genuine continuation serial-numbered G40s in the world. Over and above the plethora of Superformance standard features, we’ve modified the rear window from a 1/8" Plexiglas overlay to a purpose-designed 1/2"-thick Lexan frame insert window. BIG Photo of cockpit: Click Here! This coupled with extensive Dynamat soundproofing, vent modification, and window sill inserts dramatically attenuates noise and dramatically improves the A/C performance, especially measurable here in the blazing Texas summer sun. BIG Photo of window sill inserts: Click Here! But make no mistake: when you drop the hammer, the period-atmosphere-correct cockpit comes alive and so will you. You’ll never be lonely in this Forty—whether you’re cruising your local motorways, filling up with gas, or merely pulling into a parking lot, everyone you encounter knows he’s in the presence of an extraordinary driving machine. To dramatically improve the ride, handling and hookup this baby is equipped with AVON racing tyres [which are also DOT approved for street use]. Additionally we’ve added a cockpit-based master cutoff key. BIG Photo of custom Lexan rear window: Click Here! It’s registered in the SAAC World Registry, and it isn’t your run-of-the-mill bargain-basement special. But it is a bona fide bargain when you compare it to its original cost to build, its exceptional performance and the exceptional climate-controlled comfort of the cockpit. BIG 3/4-rearview shot: Click Here! $117,000 obo. Contact Jim Creel at (214) 734-1803, or email: JimCreel@RacingLegendsMotorsports.com

GT40 MkIIfully sorted and rarin’ to go—by Superformance. Yellow/black interior. The BIG Picture: Click Here! This ‘fabulous Forty’ is a breathtaking rendition of Alan Mann Racing's #8 car, XGT-1. It was assigned the continuation GT40 number of GTP2103 and is registered as a 1966 GT40 in South Carolina. Drivetrain: this beautiful car has the desirable Roush 427SR/ 540 horsepower powerplant, and you can drive it very easily at low rpm in tow; it has an RBT ZF transmission with power-matched gear ratios for this motor. 0-60 times should be in the mid-3-second range and top speed should approach 200 mph. BIG Photo of powerplant: Click Here! It has never been raced but it has been on the Road Atlanta track a few times and handles extraordinarily well. You can get behind the wheel of this drivin' machine and drive all day, generating grins & thrills and 'thumbs up!' responses. The AC works great as does the heater. In the cockpit: Smiths instruments, adjustable pedals, and I have added extra 3/8" (±9.5mm) closed-cell neoprene for heat & noise suppression. BIG Photo of cockpit: Click Here! The Firestone tires are as new. The paint is almost as new with only a couple of small stone chips in the front, it does have the optional stone chip guard film applied to the nose. This car cost approximately $117,000 to get to this point with the motor and transaxle alone costing more than $30,000. BIG 3/4-view shot: Click Here! If you desire the-most-original–design GT40 on the market, then this Superformance is tailor-made for you. $88,000. I don't think you'll find a better buy on any ‘Continuation’ GT40 that is listed in the new SAAC World Registry. Contact Chuck at (864) 630-xxxx

You may think that all you need to know to take knock-’em-dead good photos of your GT40 is 1) how to turn on your camera, 2) how to aim it in the general direction of your FabForty, and 3) how to press the shutter.

Think again.

That's the perfect formula for capturing crappy snapshots that'll prompt all
your potential buyers to flee screaming into the wilderness.

And rightly so.

Photojournalist Curt Scott's latest revision has been carefully reworked just for you! It’s a priceless investment of your time... on a single page, it’ll take you only about 30 seconds to print out and about 6 minutes to read. So read it and heed it!

He and his fiancé flew here to Arizona to see it (and purchase it) after having found it on CobraCountry! Talk about global reach—my ‘fabulous Forty’ will soon be taming the switchback turns of high-altitude Alpine asphalt! My GT40 Prestige Showcase on CobraCountry placed my car in the center of the world stage! And a special tribute to Curt Scott’s expert photography tips: no one in far-off Helvetia (or even Hialeah or Hyannis Port or Hoboken) would've been motivated to contact me without those fine photographs of my lime-green drivin' machine.
