Overview

Offered in the unmistakable Gulf racing livery, this Superformance GT40 Mk I pays homage to one of the most celebrated endurance racers of the 1960s. Finished in powder blue with contrasting orange and white #6 roundels, the car captures the spirit and visual drama of the Le Mans–winning machines while benefiting from Superformance’s exacting continuation craftsmanship. The purposeful stance, wide sill doors, and pinned rear bodywork remain faithful to the original silhouette that defined an era of international motorsport dominance.

 

The cockpit is trimmed in black and prepared with competition in mind, featuring Corbeau harnesses, a removable steering wheel, and a focused, race-ready presentation. Adding a remarkable personal touch, the dashboard bears the signatures of legendary engineer Phil Remington, whose work was instrumental in the GT40 program’s historic success, as well as legendary driver Dan Gurney. The cabin balances authenticity and function, delivering the immersive experience expected of a proper GT40 while maintaining the usability of a modern build, notably featuring dual "Gurney Bubbles" allowing for taller occupants.

 

Power comes from an overbored Windsor 355 V8 equipped with Go EFI dual throttle body fuel injection, MSD electronic ignition, and a throttle body adjustment computer, offering strong performance with contemporary reliability and tunability. The car shows 3,400 miles at the time of cataloguing, though the odometer is currently inoperative. Notably, it is registered under California’s SB100 program and is California legal, a significant advantage for collectors in the state. An evocative tribute to Ford’s endurance-racing legend, this Superformance GT40 Mk I presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a striking and highly specified example of one of motorsport’s most iconic designs.
