The GT took inspiration from the Le Mans-winning GT40 race cars of the 1960s and features an extruded aluminum space frame, roll-bonded floors, and aluminum body panels. This example is one of 292 finished in Mark II Black for the model year, and features painted silver racing stripes and matching bodyside tape stripes along with a front splitter, a vented hood, side air intakes, a rear lip spoiler and diffuser, and an enclosed underbody with venturi tunnels.

The GT took inspiration from the Le Mans-winning GT40 race cars of the 1960s and features an extruded aluminum space frame, roll-bonded floors, and aluminum body panels.

The BBS-made forged-aluminum wheels measure 18” in diameter up front and 19” out back, and are mounted with Goodyear Eagle F1 tires measuring 235/45 and 315/40 respectively. The double-wishbone suspension is comprised of unequal-length aluminum control arms along with coilover shocks and stabilizer bars front and rear. Four-piston monoblock calipers finished in red are part of the Brembo braking system, along with 14” front and 13.2” rear cross-drilled and ventilated rotors.
Sparco-designed, manually adjusted sport seats are trimmed in black leather and feature carbon fiber shells and GT40-inspired ventilation grommets. The center console houses the HVAC controls, and a McIntosh CD stereo was optioned from the factory. The left and right airbag assemblies were replaced under recall by Suntrup Ford of Kirkwood, Missouri, in January 2019.
A leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts GT40-inspired instrumentation consisting of a 220-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, and gauges for oil pressure, boost pressure, engine temperature, voltage, and fuel level. A bank of toggle switches controls lighting and the rear defroster. The digital odometer shows 918 miles, approximately 250 of which were added by the current owner.
The mid-mounted 5.4-liter DOHC V8 features an aluminum block, cylinder heads, and pistons in addition to a Lysholm screw-type supercharger, a dry-sump lubrication system, and a water-to-air intercooler. The factory-rated output was 550 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. A new battery was installed in 2019.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Ricardo six-speed manual transaxle and a helical limited-slip differential.
The window sticker shows factory colors and equipment as well as a total MSRP of $166,945. Manufacturer’s literature and keys can be seen in the gallery below.
