Only 130 original
Ford GT40s were ever made. Although almost all survived the rigours
of the race track, each one is now worth a not-so-small
fortune, putting it beyond the reach of many would-be owners.
The CAV GT
is such a vehicle. Today, CAV manufactures the GT with a respectful
tip-of-the-racing-visor to the original Mk 1 Ferrari
Terminator. In body, the GT is faithful to the original GT40
design as far as practical. But as you know, the Le Mans
cars were constructed from materials intended to last only a
racing season or two.
In addition,
creature comfort in a racing car was not a priority--it was about
speed, speed, speed. CAV has deviated from Ford's original
design--but only to make the car more comfortable, more technically
current and safer for you on the road... yet faithful to its
namesake right down to the very last compound curve on its graceful
coachwork.
above: full leather upholstery
with original-styled cockpit layout, wool carpeting, adjustable
seats fore & aft, adjustable pedal box for tall drivers,
and last-but-not-least air conditioning for your comfort.
above: Ford V-8 302 c.i.d.
with single Holley 4-barrel carburetor mated to a Getrag
5-speed gearbox; stainless steel original-pattern "bundle
of snakes" 8-branch header exhaust system with two collectors,
mufflers and stainless steel heat shield.
You have to
see this drivin' machine to appreciate it. Drop the hammer and
you'll see the other side of 100 mph in 9.5 seconds with
little effort. You can do the first 60 mph of those in just
over 4 seconds. Remarkably--and surprisingly-this
was faster than a 1960s Formula 1 car in a straight line.
Overall performance
has been further enhanced: CAV has modernized the GT's suspension
and braking systems, bringing them on par with 21st century high-end
technology.
Own this piece
(de résistance) of splendidly-recreated history!
