A fantastic deal on a fuel injected CAV replica! This 1965
Ford GT40 Mk1 replica is one of the most outrageous cars you can
experience. The looks are breathtaking, the sound is tremendous,
and the ride is extreme. There isn't much comparison out there.
This 2-owner car was built by CAV in 2000 and has been driven about
7,500 miles since. It spent the last 12 years in California where
it received an SB100 smog exemption. It was repainted in 2015 and
looks fantastic! Several other parts were recently replaced or
freshened, including the Lexan engine cover. Also note the 15"
Halibrand style knock-off wheels all around, complete with safety
wire.
The car is powered by a Ford 5.0L motor. Highlights include a full
roller valvetrain, aluminum heads, and a new FAST electronic fuel
injection setup. The FAST system is very nice, providing real time
data and allowing simple tuning. And the eight velocity stacks,
throttle linkage, and blue anodized fuel rails sitting under the
engine cover is a beautiful sight indeed. There is also a
bundle-of-snakes exhaust that sounds like pure evil.
The transaxle is a Getrag 5-speed unit. Brakes are discs all around
with a power booster, while the manual steering rack is nice and
tight. The suspension uses adjustable coilover shocks front and
rear so you can easily adjust ride height to your preference.
Cooling uses a very effective C&R aluminum radiator with dual
electric fans controlled by the FAST module.
The interior is classic GT40, starting with the leather seats with
aluminum rings. The dashboard has all the expected gauges. You also
have access to the FAST display / touch screen which offers many
additional items; fuel rail pressure, intake air temperature,
air/fuel ratio, and more. The car is also equipped with a heater /
air conditioner and backup camera. Note there is a single arm
windshield wiper as well (removed for the pictures).
This is not a car to be taken lightly. It demands your full
attention while driving, as the slightest slip of your right foot
could lead to trouble. So if you're after a relaxing drive in the
country then keep looking. But if you really want to stir your
senses, you've found your car.
