The Ford GT40 stands as one of motorsport's most legendary icons, born from Henry Ford II's ambition to beat Ferrari at their own game at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The MkII, in particular, solidified its place in history with its dominant 1-2-3 finish at Le Mans in 1966, forever etching its shape and thunderous V8 soundtrack into the annals of racing. This generation of GT40, characterized by its powerful big-block Ford engine, represented the pinnacle of American automotive engineering and resolve, proving that Detroit could out-innovate and out-perform the European establishment on the world stage. This 1967 GT40 MkII recreation, professionally hand-built in 2004 by Bessia Motorsports, embodies that storied legacy with exacting detail. Founded by Argentinian F2 Champion Osvaldo Bessia, Bessia Motorsports crafted this tribute to precise 1967 specifications. Under the rear clamshell resides a potent 302 cubic inch V8, featuring forged internals, a full roller valvetrain, and SVO heads, producing a robust 425 horsepower and 502 lb-ft of torque, all managed by a driver-focused 5-speed manual transmission. Finished in the iconic Gulf Blue and orange livery, both inside and out, this coupe boasts race-certified components for its fuel cell, clutch, bell housing, brakes, and suspension, reflecting its authentic performance intentions. With 20,000 miles on the odometer, this recreation has been enjoyed on the road, its porcelain-coated finish protecting its classic lines. This is an exceptional opportunity to experience the visceral thrill and undeniable presence of a Le Mans legend.
