Here’s your chance to own a meticulously crafted Superformance GT40 MKI, valued at $250,000. This authentic continuation model pays homage to one of the greatest victories in racing history—the 1969 Le Mans win by Jacky Ickx and Jackie Oliver in the iconic number 6 GT40. With its legendary Gulf Oil blue and orange livery, this street-legal, track-capable masterpiece is both a nod to automotive history and a dream machine for any car enthusiast.
The Superformance GT40 MKI is built with over 244 laser-cut and pressed components, including a monocoque chassis reinforced with electro-galvanized steel. The design replicates the original so closely that many parts are interchangeable with the 1960s race car. Its 427 ci Windsor-based stroker engine, equipped with Weber carburetors, Gurney-Weslake valve covers, and silver powder-coated pipes, delivers thrilling performance, making it as functional as it is iconic.
Key features include:
- Gulf Livery: The signature blue and orange paint, orange wheels, Gulf roundels, and aluminum-painted door eyebrows exude racing nostalgia.
- Period-Correct Details: Gurney bubble, Moto-Lita steering wheel, Smith gauges, and Alcantara seats with silver rivets bring 1960s authenticity to life.
- Modern Performance Enhancements: Independent suspension, Bilstein® coil-over shocks, vented disc brakes with Wilwood calipers, and air conditioning ensure a superior driving experience.
This GT40 is a tribute to Gulf Oil’s Pittsburgh roots, honoring its pivotal sponsorship of the JW Automotive Engineering racing team that achieved back-to-back Le Mans wins in 1968 and 1969 with chassis 1075.
Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of automotive and racing history. Enter today for your chance to drive home this legendary Gulf Livery GT40 MKI!
