1990 Ford GTD 40 Recreation For Sale - Built By GT Developments In
England LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1990 Ford GTD 40
Replica The Ford GT40 was born out of the infamous feud between the
two manufacturing giants, Ferrari and Ford. By 1963, the deal was
put to the table and would see Ford purchasing Ferrari to create
road cars and competition machinery. Enzo Ferrari would soon
reconsider the offer from Ford and sent them back to the US empty
handed. Understandably angry, Henry Ford II ordered Ford's point
man, Don Frey, to go to Le Mans and beat Enzo Ferrari. With such
low production of original race cars and road cars, values have
reached well beyond the average collector giving the opportunity
for numerous companies to re-create these iconic cars. One such
company was GT Developments of Poole, England, who built Ford GT40
replicas. This 1990 GTD40 is a wonderful re-creation of Ford's
iconic GT40 and features beautiful bodywork closely replicating the
original car. Finished in Red with White Ford rocker stripes, it is
equipped with dual side-view mirrors and additional lights at the
rear to comply with road laws. The car rides on Goodyear tires
mounted on Halibrand-style faux knock-off wheels. The GTD40 is
powered by a Ford 302ci V-8 engine and backed by a 5-speed manual
transaxle. It also features MSD electronic ignition and breathes
through four Weber carburetors. The interior is trimmed in beige
leather with red welting. The dash carries on that color
combination, housing Smiths instrumentation and an Alpine radio
unit with CD. The bucket seats feature generous bolstering, and
each is equipped with a four-point Simpson seat-belt harness. The
paint is stunning and has been wet sanded and polished to a show
finish. Having covered only 805 miles since completion, the car is
in outstanding condition. This GTD40 is accompanied by period
literature, a copy of its certificate of origin, invoice from GTD
and more. As Ford made very few original GT40 road cars in the
1960s, this GTD40 offers an excellent alternative for those looking
to have their own GT40 experience. Additional Details: 1990 FORD
