Description for Ford Ford GT 1966

eBay template information@RKMotorsCharlotte. com 5527 Lakeview Road. Charlotte. NC. 28269. US 1966 Ford Superformance GT40 MK 1 Frame Off Built Superformance GT40 MK 1 Dart 347 V8 EFI ZF 5 Speed Year: 1966 Type of vehicle title: Clear Primary color: Red Mileage: 9518 Transmission type: 5 Speed Manual Engine: 347 V8 Interior color: Black Vehicle info One look at the legendary Ford GT40 and the first term that comes to mind is "cruise missile". With a slippery shape and razor-edge lines that are every bit as wind-cheating as they are alluring. the car LIVES to run; and anything less than triple-digit speeds is just a waste of its time! Recently serviced by Olthoff Racing. and upgraded by the pros at Holman Moody. this Superformance Mk I is about as close to riding a bullet as you can get. And. with less than 10K miles on its bright digital odometer. it's a fresh. fully-sorted track machine that's ready to rock and roll! Looking for a legitimate continuation of Ford's original Mk I? Looking for a classic that's capable of almost inconceivable levels of performance? This incredible Ford is your ultimate thrill ride!I don't think the extreme. purpose-built nature of the GT40 really occurs to most people until they see one up close. At just 40 inches tall. the driver is more or less lying in the cockpit rather than sitting. And that low-slung profile. when combined with the car's buckled down nose and sawed off tail. creates one wicked looking custom! As a highly authentic continuation of Ford's original GT40. this killer Superformance Mk I utilizes a pressed steel roof and high quality fiberglass to create a fully sealed. noise-free sports car. Hand layered for extra strength and rigidity. and attached to the chassis via composite adhesive. those fiberglass panels both stiffen the car's frame during hard cornering and align a smooth canvas for top notch. three-layer paint. And. speaking of top notch paint. timeless PPG pigment provides a classic look that'll have people marveling at its reflections for years to come. It isn't easy to create a world class show stopper out of complex resin shapes. and this GT40's excellent fit and finish is a testament to both the OEM quality of its manufacturer and the true talents of its builders. While this stunning Ford is best experienced in the flesh. look closely at our high resolution photos and you'll be able to see the amount of accurate and impressive detailing that was engineered into its design from day one. On the leading edge of the car's body. a 3M-protected front clip stacks correct Cibie headlights. clear driving lamps and chrome-trimmed parking lights behind aerodynamic Lexan covers. Between those lights. Satin Black bumperettes hang inside a slightly canted grille that provides both cooling and much needed triple-digit downforce. Opposite that grille. deep diffusers funnel wind across polished. Monza-style fillers for the car's FIA approved fuel tanks. Between those fillers. a tinted windshield. which is cleared by a street legal wiper. complements vented Lexan side windows and a traditional Gurney bubble. At the sides of the car. expressive fenders position massive air intakes behind satin-finished door handles. satin-finished cowl hinges and chrome racing mirrors. Between those fenders. a "Superformance" branded bulkhead displays the car's spectacular engine in front of a sleek heat dissipater and subtle metal spoiler. And below that spoiler. dual-mode tail lamps frame a mesh valance that's centered on a giant stainless exhaust system. By law. specialty vehicle companies like Superformance are not allowed to sell their cars with complete drivetrains. But they'll gladly provide suggestions that range from stoplight spooky to race track scary! Looking for the perfect blend of power and streetability. the previous owner of this Mk I decided to opt for a reliable. 347 cubic inch Dart Sportsman that was assembled by the techs at Vaseleniuck Engine Development in Denver. North Carolina. The mean mill's energy mixture is supplied by 8-stack Weber-style fuel injection that's dressed in braided fluid lines and chrome air cleaners. That mixture travels in to Air Flow Research heads. which hang Holman Moody valve covers and high quality roller rockers over forged SRP pistons. H-beam connecting rods and custom-hardened pushrods. That valvetrain combusts thanks to a tough steel crank and requisite Comp roller cam. Fire for that combustion comes courtesy of an MSD billet distributor and premium Ford Racing plug wires. That fire is kept in check by an aluminum cross-flow radiator and two electric puller fans. And spent gases are cycled through eight stainless steel pipes. two collectors and two mufflers that are packaged together to mimic Ford's original 'bundle of snakes' exhaust. From its chrome breathers all the way to its Aviaid oil pan. this clean small block is 100% ready to show. And first rate details. like ARP studs. a true roller timing set. March billet pulleys and a Melling high performance oil pump. ensure the car is more than just a curbside attraction!One of the coolest aspects of buying a Superformance GT40 is authenticity. You're getting a custom that's so true to Ford's design that two-thirds of its parts interchange with a factory-original car. That means. not only can it legally use the "GT40" moniker. it's also automatically recognized by the Shelby Registry. That's why Superformance marketing refers to this Mk I as a "continuation". and nowhere is that "continuation" more evident than under the skin. For starters. the car's entire undercarriage. save for the engine and rear axle. is covered in black. aerodynamic belly pans. Its zinc-coated chassis is an original-style monocoque set-up. which rides on an unequal length front A-arm and independent rear suspension. Turns come courtesy of manual rack and pinion steering. which utilizes a RAMLIFTpro hydraulic system and aggressive suspension geometry to provide the tight cornering GT cars are known for. Stops are provided by modern Wilwood Superlite brakes. which include 4-piston calipers. braided hoses and vented rotors. And behind the engine. a rugged ZF 5DS25 5-speed twists stout 3. 77 gears. All that power flows through high quality Halibrand-style wheels. which turn 215/60R15 front and 295/50R15 rear Avon radials around traditional spinners. And the chassis' stiffness is greatly aided by a level of precision that includes over 240 laser-cut. bent or pressed components. Open this Ford's guillotine-style doors and you'll find an attractive Black interior that's every bit as authentic as its lightweight shell. Original-style bucket seats wear upgraded suede surfaces under authentic silver rivets and G-FORCE racing harnesses. At the front of the car. a Flat Black dash hangs correct Smiths telemetry. including an electronic speedometer. above correct Lucas switches and an original-style adjustable pedal box. At the bottom of the car. an offset. driver-biased tunnel centers an upgraded shifter on like-new carpet that wraps around a polished fire extinguisher and 10-gallon sill tanks. Above those tanks. original-style Hartswell door hardware secures small vent windows and driver's side controls for a standard air conditioning system. In front of the driver. an aluminum steering wheel features a colorful "FORD GT40" logo at the center of Satin Black spokes and a thick leather rim. And behind the passengers. a broad window provides constant monitoring of the car's massive firepower. Everything in this purpose-built racer is virtually new. from its carpet all the way to its headliner. And. with the addition of a few street friendly refinements. this simplistic cockpit has become a surprisingly comfortable place to spend a fun day at the track. The sale of this awesome Mk I includes a Manufacturer's Statement of Origin. a Superformance owner's manual and a simple steering wheel lock. This storied Ford super car is an impressive. track-capable cruiser that's fully-sorted and scary fast! The fact that it's professionally finished and packs show-stopping good looks is merely icing on the cake. Few cars can carry the legendary heritage of a GT40. but this Superformance Mk I is certainly worthy of the name. Don't miss your opportunity to own one of the most incredible classics on the planet!
