Modern Car Collector (MCC) readers now have the rare opportunity to own one of the most iconic racing machines ever built—a meticulously crafted Superformance GT40 MKI continuation car, valued at $250,000. The car is the centerpiece of an exclusive giveaway presented in partnership with Downforce Motorsports.
A tribute to the legendary No. 6 GT40 that conquered the 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans, this street-legal and track-ready vehicle is an authentic recreation of the car driven by Jacky Ickx and Jackie Oliver in their nail-biting win over Porsche. Finished in the unmistakable Gulf blue and orange livery, the car is a visual and mechanical homage to the original.
Under the rear clamshell, a roaring 427 cubic-inch Windsor-based stroker engine with Weber carburetors and Gurney-Weslake valve covers delivers raw, historic horsepower. Silver powder-coated pipes and a classic twin-pin rear clam complete the performance-driven aesthetics.
Built with over 244 laser-cut and pressed components on an electro-galvanized monocoque chassis, this GT40 continuation model includes period-correct aluminum-painted door eyebrows, a Gurney bubble, Moto-Lita steering wheel, and Smiths gauges. Inside, the cabin features Alcantara-trimmed seats adorned with silver rivets.
Modern touches like air conditioning and a heater blend seamlessly with the GT40’s historic DNA. Vented disc brakes, Wilwood calipers, Bilstein coil-over shocks, and fully independent suspension ensure the car delivers both on-track performance and street comfort.
The GT40’s Gulf livery also pays homage to Pittsburgh, the former headquarters of Gulf Oil, whose racing sponsorship was instrumental to the car’s Le Mans success in the late 1960s.
