A business deal gone bad, is how the Ford GT40 came to be. When Henry Ford II tried and failed to purchase Ferrari from founder Enzo Ferrari, the result was a feud that would consume the 60’s and be fought on the greatest racetracks across the globe. The GT40 Mk I was Ford’s answer to the Ferrari’s and was a vehicle the American market had never imagined possible. The Mk I’s original 289 and 302 Ford powerplants met with struggles but showed incredible potential. The Mk II and Mk I extra wide body evolved from the original Mk I and saw historical success.


The Superformance GT40 Mk I is the only GT40 licensed and eligible for the official GT40 registry. Features include an original style steel monocoque chassis, original suspension and are the only cars to receive official an “P” chassis number like the originals. 


The GT40 Mk1 finished in the iconic Gulf livery made famous at LeMans in 1968 and 69 by P1075. Pwoered by a Ropush 427 R stroker engine topped with Weber Carbs and back by a Quaife 5-speed transaxle. 15" BRM style wheels and a full 1969 LeMans livery decal package finish this legendary look. 


Only 178 miles since buildout by Olthoff Racing and a unique oppoertunity to get a practically brand new GT40 without the long wait time of a new order or the added costs of tariffs!
