This is an extremely nice GT40, several hundred hours were spent sorting the chassis. Nothing left to do but drive & enjoy the car! No accidents, never smoked in, garage kept, etc. This car is very quick - weighing in at just 2,395 lb. and producing 538.5 hp at 5,900 rpm it boasts an impressive power to weight ratio of 5.07 pounds per hp.

The car was driven & signed by Bob Bondurant at his Arizona facility in 2006, the sale will include photos of Mr. Bondurant driving & posing with the car. As built by Superformance, this car was originally titanium with dual black stripes. The current markings replicate the livery of the #7 Alan Mann Racing GT40 (chassis number XGT-2) as driven by Graham Hill and Brian Muir in LeMans 1966. XGT-2 was replicated by Exoto in a die-cast 1:18 model. The modifications include painted bronze front wheels, a flat-black vinyl “wrap” nose, the correct size number “7” decals, and the rocker panel lettering “Alan Mann Racing, Byfleet, England”. A set of NOS Ford roundel lights (extremely difficult to find) have been installed & wired. If you wish to return the car to the original titanium with black stripes, you can simply peel off the vinyl markings. 538hp, 533 lb-ft Torque 427ci (Windsor) Roush engine Pro Systems Holly 4-barrel carburetor Aeromotive Fuel pump & Regulator The speedometer was calibrated to read accurately. 8,500 miles Black vinyl wrap #7 Livery Clear Bra under vinyl wrap Bundle of snakes exhaust Left hand drive - center shift Black Alcantara interior Removable locking steering wheel RBT 5-speed transaxle Upgraded QA-1 Carrera double adjustable dampers with H&R springs on all four corners.

The bulkhead plexiglass with tempered automotive glass. The tempered glass has two significant advantages, temperature reduction & the reduction of sound transmitted to the cabin. It’s really a nice upgrade.
