1966 Shelby GT40 Mk II Cinema Series - Ken Miles Le Mans Tribute, 482 FE Stroker, 693 HP

The Shelby GT40 Mk II remains one of the most celebrated competition cars in automotive history, forever associated with Ford's legendary 1-2-3 finish at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans. This exceptional Shelby GT40 Mk II Cinema Series was built to faithfully recreate the iconic car driven by Ken Miles during that historic race, finished in the unmistakable blue Ken Miles livery that immediately evokes one of racing's greatest moments.

Built with performance and authenticity in mind, this GT40 is powered by a Blair Patrick Enterprises-built 482 cubic-inch FE stroker V8, assembled using the finest components throughout. While visually faithful to the legendary 427 FE, this enlarged 482ci engine delivers significantly more power and torque, producing an incredible 694 horsepower and 596lb/ft of torque on the dyno. Fed by a traditional carburetor fitted with the correct Le Mans-style float bowls, the engine combines period-correct appearance with exceptional performance and reliability. The result is a remarkably tractable, street-friendly powerplant that delivers the unmistakable sound and character of Ford's legendary FE big-block.

Adding to its pedigree, the engine and complete driveline installation were performed by the legendary Holman Moody in Charlotte, North Carolina-the very company that played a key role in Ford's GT40 racing program during the 1960s. Their involvement gives this Cinema Series GT40 an exceptional level of authenticity and historical significance.

Power is transferred through a ZF 5-speed transaxle, providing the proper GT40 driving experience. The transmission has just been serviced, and the engine and carburetor have also received a complete service and tune, ensuring the car is fully sorted and ready to enjoy.

Combining breathtaking looks with world-class craftsmanship and outstanding performance, this Shelby GT40 Mk II Cinema Series captures the spirit of the legendary Le Mans racer while delivering modern reliability. Whether destined for concours events, vintage rallies, track events, or spirited weekend drives, this is an extraordinary opportunity to own a faithful recreation of one of the most iconic race cars ever built.
