Automotive enthusiasts now have a rare opportunity to win a fully street-legal Superformance GT40 MKI—valued at $250,000—through a new sweepstakes that also supports individuals with autism and intellectual disabilities.
This continuation GT40, offered by Downforce Motorsports, pays tribute to the legendary No. 6 car driven by Jacky Ickx and Jackie Oliver to victory in the 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans. Finished in the iconic Gulf Oil blue and orange livery, the car reflects one of motorsport’s most storied eras.
Built under license and engineered with period-correct specifications, the GT40 MKI features an original-style steel monocoque chassis, independent suspension, Bilstein® coilover shocks, and four-wheel Wilwood vented disc brakes. Powering the car is a thunderous 427 cubic-inch Windsor-based stroker V8 with Weber carburetors and silver powder-coated exhaust pipes—offering both performance and visual drama.
Inside, the cockpit is race-inspired with Alcantara-covered bucket seats finished in silver rivets, a Moto-Lita steering wheel, Smiths gauges, and even air conditioning for modern comfort. Exterior details include BRM-style knock-off wheels, twin-pin rear clam, inverted side scoops, and a functional Gurney bubble.
Downforce Motorsports, the largest independent Superformance dealer in the U.S., is spearheading this giveaway in partnership with the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. The charity event honors Pittsburgh’s deep GT40 history—Gulf Oil’s global racing sponsorship in the 1960s was headquartered in the city and played a key role in the GT40’s legendary success.
Every ticket purchased supports the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix’s mission to benefit autism-related charities. The sweepstakes winner will drive home in a machine that not only honors racing history but also makes a meaningful impact.
