TheSmokingTire – Superformance Ford GT40 MKII – Video
Want to feel like you’re Dan Gurney sticking it to Ferrari in 1967 at LeMans? Look no further than the Superformance GT40 MKII. Built nearly identically to the original GT40 cars with 95% interchangeable parts, this GT40 MKII features a 550 HP Roush 427 Small Block V8, 5-speed transaxle, and one of the best views out a windshield available anywhere at any price. This GT40 is also loaded with options such as Air Conditioning and Wilwood Brakes, and is available as a turn-key car for around $165,000. Considering the originals sell for deep into the 7-figures, we think it’s a bargain.
