| | | | | | | The Story of "Le Mans 427-21" | | |  | Thanks
for viewing this STUNNING Superformance GT-40 Mark II. This is a true
one-of-a-kind Supercar, a tribute to a race legend, which would be
nearly impossible to reproduce.
This amazing car was built
as a one-off project to commemorate the Holman Moody #5 entry in the
1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, which placed 3rd overall in a 1,2,3
sweep of GT-40 MKII's. The project was completed in 2009. |
| |
It was
packaged closely with Lee Holman who participated in providing
historical detail that only he could provide for accuracy.
Details included color, exterior lighting, graphics and drive train
details. Mark Ray spent some amount of time locating a NOS FE 427 sideoiler
block. | | | | The 427 power plant was built and invoiced by Holman Moody (Holman Automotive Inc). Internals include an original set of Le Mans rods similar
to what the car had at Le Mans 1966. The intake is a recasting of the
original with a single 4V Holley camshaft, which was ground by Larry Wallace
of Holman Moody in the noted "882" profile. One very cool
part of the package is the original-style stainless steel "bundle
of snakes" in 2 1/4" runner diameter and fully polished. These are, to
our knowledge the only original style headers on an FE powered
Superformance MK II GT-40. The transmission is a 2008 Quaife ZFQ installed by Olthoff Racing.
Other rare features include right hand
drive and right rod "outboard" shifter. The car has a fire
suppression system in place, air-conditioning, MK I color-keyed set of 15"
rims with Avon tread, AN EXTRA SET OF correct MK II 15" RIMS with
Avon tires and it's own custom JACKS.
BEST OF ALL .... IT'S STREET LEGAL
and currently titled in
NC as a "Year: 1966 / Make: Shelby / Model: repl". It has
great street manner and it's air conditioned, which makes it very
driveable.
Other documentation of
assembly, dyno and install details by Olthoff Racing are
available. This is a very unique offering with a special focus on
the automotive history of a grand time in endurance racing.
Superformance and aftermarket upgrades:
- Leather seat and console upgrade.
- Electronic speedometer upgrade.
- Exterior light upgrade.
- Additional firewall dampening, to minimize engine noise transfer to passenger compartment.
- Upgraded harnesses with cam-lock design for both occupants.
- Carpeting and door seal overlays.
This rare
GT-40 is in EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. The build was completed in 2009 and it has belonged to just one very
appreciative owner, the man who commissioned the build. Maybe the only
two things that are better than the way this car looks, are the way it
drives AND THE WAY IT SOUNDS. Email me at ken@gas-motors.com and I'll send you a link to a video!!! | |  | | More about the Superformance GT40 MK II
The
Superformance GT40s are not replicas or kit cars, but rather an
authentic continuation model of the famed GT40. The Superformance GT40
is so original it even carries an original GT40 P chassis number, and
is fully eligible for both the Shelby American Automobile Club and
Safir GT40 registries.
The GT40 continuation is built to
exacting standards - in fact over two thirds of its parts are
interchangeable with that of an original car, including the monocoque
style chassis. The Superformance GT40 chassis is an exact replication
of the original monocoque unibody structure down to the pressed steel
roof spider. The only departure is the use of electro-galvanized sheet
steel in the construction. The chassis, at over 12,000 pounds per
degree is stiffer than any other chassis on the market, and is made up
of over 244 laser cut and bent or pressed parts. The Superformance GT40
also boasts a pressed steel roof and beautifully finished body.
The
GT40 continuation accurately replicates the original chassis,
suspension, wheel hubs, uprights, pedal box, instruments, steering,
dash, "bundle of snakes" headers, catches and latches to name but a few
similarities. GT40 owners also have the luxury of modern safety
modifications such as Wilwood super light brakes, Bilstein shocks with
H& R springs, an adjustable pedal box and cross flow radiator.
Street GT40s are even equipped with air conditioning, which is cleverly
disguised in a mock dry sump unit placed in the original position.
There
are few racecars more cemented in the memories of todays race drivers
than the iconic Ford GT40. Built with an unprecedented budget to beat
Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the GT40 went on to exceed all
expectations winning in 1966, 1967, 1968 and 1969. Driven by such
storied drivers as Jacky Ickx, A.J Foyt, Chris Amon, Bruce McLaren, Ken
Miles, Denny Hulme, Paul Hawkins, Dan Gurney, Mario Andretti and Bob
Bondurant to name a few. The GT40 became synonymous with
championship-winning, high-performance, high-reliability sports car
racing. But with original cars selling in the millions of dollars,
until recently it was believed that historic and vintage racing would
rarely see GT40s race again. | |
