Vehicle Description
Built for both the road and the racetrack, this 1967 Ford GT40
replica is a full performance build - right down to the Holman
Moody components in the V8. So dig into all the details on a sleek
retro machine that will make your favorite roads feel like Le
Mans.
If you know about ERA replicas, then you know they take the time to
make a cut-above product. In fact, the GT program was one of their
most difficult. They put so much time and quality into their
product that it was hard for them to sell it at a profitable price.
So it's likely less than 80 were made before they pulled the plug
on the program, and this is one of those few. ERA's idea was to
create a straight and sturdy fiberglass body that's faithful to the
original. The shark-like nose with cooling vents diving deep into
the hood; the doors that cut into the roof; the rear window where
you can clearly see the V8; the ducktail spoiler that extends the
flat-panel rear; and two tailpipes bold sitting in the exact middle
of it all... This is everything you love about a GT40. The blue
paint still has the kind of slippery gloss that reminds you how
aerodynamic the design truly is. Plus, the white is used for Ford's
famous rocker stripes. And the white on the hood and roof is even
more distinctive with red and yellow pinstriping used for a
dividing line. The whole look has an authentic race-ready attitude,
right down to the Halibrand-style wheels with genuine knock-off
hubs.
The interior looks race-ready, too, but it's actually more secretly
rewarding. For example, you have proper weather sealing, plush
carpeting, and even provisions for air conditioning. The leather
bucket seats have the classic competition look, but they are also
nicely bolstered for better comfort. Of course, the racing
harnesses, fire extinguisher, reverse lockout, and releasable
steering wheel are nice reminders that this is a true track
machine. The full dash is laid out with clearly labeled toggle
switches and easy-to-read Stewart Warner gauges with the
all-important tack in front of the driver.
One look behind the seat, and you know you're getting proper power.
That's a 302 cubic-inch V8 that's believed to be built with several
Holman Moody parts. The valve covers and intake are true Holman
Moody components. This is a performance build with a four-barrel
carburetor, Edelbrock fuel pump, Mallory ignition, aluminum
radiator w/dual fans, and the proper "bundle of snakes" headers
that directs their rumble right out of the rear center. You have
complete control over this powerhouse and its soundtrack thanks to
the ZF five-speed speed transaxle. The full chassis is part of a
strong custom-made semi-monocoque (just like the original GT40).
And it is a true race-ready handler, too, with a double wishbone
front suspension, fully independent rear, adjustable coilovers,
Eibach springs, rack & pinion steering, and four-wheel disc
brakes.
When you get an awesome mix of power and poise, you know you've
found a car that's worth the extra attention this will attract.
