1966 Ford GT40 Red Coupe 468 V8 5 Speed Manual

Description

Shelby GT40 85th Commemorative Edition 559hp 468ci Aluminum V8 5spd A/C /// One of only 85 cars commissioned by Shelby American, this FE-powered beast combines storied heritage with killer looks, excellent build quality and unbeatable performance! One of the biggest selling points of the Shelby GT40 85th Commemorative Edition is authenticity. The car is so close to its Le Mans-winning forebearers that roughly 2/3rds of its components can be interchanged with an original Mk II. Both cars use the same... dimensions, employ the same stamped steel roof design and cross the scales at roughly the same weight. Where they differ is the simple fact that Commemorative Editions utilize much improved electro-galvanized steel, which is sure to look great for decades sporting this car's official Gurney/Grant paint scheme. Enact this GT40's Olthoff clamshell kit and you'll find 468 cubic inches of aluminum Shelby FE that twists 559 dyno-proven horsepower into 603 lb./ft. of straightaway-scorching torque! Behind the incredible engine, a McLeod hydraulic racing clutch bumps an RBT-sourced ZF 5-speed. An original-style, steel monocoque rides an original-style, fully independent suspension. Finished with color-keyed powder-coating, an Olthoff over-engine sway bar and adjustable QA-1 shocks, that suspension has been augmented with an electronic front lift. Turns come courtesy of manual rack-and-pinion steering. Stops come courtesy of four Wilwood calipers, which are cooled by powder-coated brake ducts. All that proven track prowess rolls on Halibrand-style wheels, which twist choice Avon radials. And between the doors, an upgraded leather interior features modern air conditioning, an Olthoff-upgraded shifter and a detachable Moto-Lita steering wheel. Call, click or visit for more information!
