With just over 2,000 miles on the freshly rebuilt 427 cubic inch
and very few on the build overall, this replica of an extraordinary
piece of automotive history is a sight to behold. The GT-40 was
developed to compete with Ferrari at the 24 hours of Le Mans and
was able to win four consecutive years from 1966-1969 including a
1-2-3 finish the very first year. Superformance replicates these
cars nearly exactly the way you would have seen them racing all of
those years ago. This GT-40 was built back in 2008 and features the
same Gulf orange and blue paint scheme that was on the original
race cars. Protecting the paint is a clear bra on the front and was
ceramic coated just last year in 2016 which makes it easy to
maintain and clean when you decide to show it. As you open the door
and slide in over the seat, you feel as if you have just slide into
the cockpit of a rocket ship rather than a classic car. 5-point
seat belt harnesses, a line of switches along the dash, and plenty
of gauges to monitor, you start to understand what it must have
been like to race one for hours on end. This one however has a
feature that those racers would have loved to have; air
conditioning! With the engine just behind you and such a light
weight car, there was not much for heat or sound dampening. The air
conditioning makes the longer cruises much more bearable. The raw
power this car puts out with little weight will throw you back
harder in your seat than almost any other car out there. Complete
your childhood dream, by owning the car you never thought possible
for a fraction of the cost of the real deal! This GT-40 is ready to
take to the track or shows and turn every head while doing it. This
vehicle is located in our Denver showroom. You can view this 2008
