This Ford GT40 MKIIB is a re-creation that was built by a GT40 expert named Bryan Winfield in the mid 1980s. The car contains my original GT40 components, some of which include the dashboard structure, suspension, gearbox and CV joints. There is an original Ford 427 side-oiler V-8 engine with an original Kar Kraft 4-speed gearbox. It is finished in red with black side and top stripes and Halibrand-type knock off wheels. It originally carried chassis tags from GT40 1047 and now is identified as 1047B.
The 427 cubic-inch engine produces approximately 600 horsepower and there are four-wheel disc brakes. An independent suspension can be found in both the front and rear.
In 2009, this Ford GT40 MKIIB Re-Creation was offered for sale at the Gooding & Company auction held in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was expected to sell for $250,000 - $300,000. Sadly, a willing bidder capable of satisfying the cars reserve was not found. The lot was left unsold. | |
