1965 Ford Gt40 Mk1 on 2040-cars
Year:1965
Mileage:8500

San Diego, California, United States

This 1965 Ford GT40 Mk1 was a complete, fully-sorted, factory built tribute race-car by Bailey Edwards Cars (BEC) of South Africa for South Africa's annual "SEMA" car show. FYI, South Africa allows replicas to compete in sanctioned vintage car racing, and although BEC is a relatively small builder, it is recognized as the premier builder of vintage tribute race cars and has enjoyed great racing success.
This BEC GT40 Mk1 was purchased at that "SEMA" show by a California enthusiast, and in order to comply with US DOT rules, the Small Block Ford engine and 6-speed transaxle were removed so the car could be legally imported into the US. It was shipped to San Diego where it was placed in a private collection. When the owner decided to sell the car rather than to go to the trouble of replacing the drive-train, I purchased it and replaced the engine and transaxle before successfully titling and registering it in 2006 via California's SB100, which makes this GT40 both street legal as well as smog exempt. This BEC GT40 Mk1 is constructed with a aluminum clad space frame with the safety of a full roll cage. The front suspension is independent, double-wishbone; the rear is independent double-trailing arm with traverse top link and lower wish bone. The front and rear hubs are carved out of billet aluminum. Bilstein adjustable coil-over shocks with anti-roll bars are fitted both front and rear, while the suspension mounting is fully adjustable with rose joints. Brakes are 4-piston AP Racing calipers with 305 mm vented discs both front and rear. The wheels are polished alloy, wired, knock-off Halibrand-style pin drives. Front wheels are 7.5"x15" with 235x60x15 BF Goodrich TA Radial tires mounted, while the rears are 9.5"x15" and have 275x60x15 BFG's. The fiberglass GT40 Mk1 body is factory painted black in base-coat,clear-coat with silver stripes. The real leather interior has a full set of Smith's gauges, Nardi wood-rimmed steering wheel, 6-point racing harness, Tilton pedals, air conditioning and carpeting. The engine is a high nickel-content, 1965 Ford 289 c.i. block that has been bored and stroked to the period-correct LeMans racing limit of 5 liters (305 c.i.) and has been built to produce 400 HP/400 foot-pounds of torque. It has a balanced assembly, forged rods, hypereutectic pistons, split-duration (.520/.523) cam, aluminum heads, 1.6 roller-rockers, MSD electronic ignition, high volume oil pump, oversized Milodon oil pan with a remote oil cooler, four twin Weber 48 IDF carburetors with velocity stacks and an aluminum cold-air box, with the exhaust flowing through the famed "bundle-of-snakes." Power is transmitted through a custom prepared (upgraded rear main bearings, altered spigot and clutch fork) Getrag 01E 6-speed transaxle. This BEC GT40 Mk1 is fully-sorted, has won numerous show awards, has been featured in a magazine and gets driven regularly...however, it has never been raced. The reason I am selling is because I have an opportunity to buy a large car collection from an estate and I could use the room as well as the funds. This GT40 is being sold "as is, where is." I welcome calls (858-705-1912) as well as inspections. The winning bidder will be required to send via payPal a $2000 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours of the end of the auction with the balance of the Purchase Price to be paid within 7 days. The car will not be released until the purchase price is paid in full. Shipping is the responsibility of the Buyer. The car is being offered for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early. |

Next SVT Mustang may axe Shelby name, go naturally aspirated
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Following our first glimpse at the 2015 Ford Mustang out on the road, the fine folks at Road and Track have divulged some details on what the Blue Oval's next pony might have in store. We've already seen that the car will get some very sleek, Evos-inspired design cues, and an independent rear suspension is indeed in store. These new details, however, concern the muscle car's beating heart.
For starters, the base Ford coupe is expected to carry on with V6 power, likely from the same 3.7-liter unit found in today's car. From there, R&T says the next step up will be a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, likely displacing 2.3 liters, putting out as much as 350 horsepower. Of course, a Mustang wouldn't be a Mustang without V8 thrust, and R&T states that the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 will continue on into the 2015 car, making something like 450 horsepower.
But it's at the high end of the Mustang range where things will, reportedly, get very, very interesting. Road & Track claims that the top-shelf 'Stang will likely lose the supercharger from its engine, producing a metric crap-ton of naturally aspirated grunt instead. Additionally, the SVT-fettled Mustang will likely be dropping its Shelby moniker, in favor of "a name you're familiar with," according to the magazine (you know, like, Cobra).
Ford recalls EcoBoost-powered F-150 and SUVs for brake fluid leak
Wed, Mar 23 2022Ford is recalling approximately 280,000 trucks and SUVs equipped with its 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine to address a potential brake fluid leak. The recall covers the 2016-2017 Ford F-150, 2016-2017 Ford Expedition and the 2016-2017 Lincoln Navigator. According to Ford's defect report, the issue stems from contamination in the brake fluid causing degradation or damage to the seals in the brake master cylinder, allowing fluid to escape. Ford says that braking performance is not immediately impacted by the leak, and owners may not realize there's a problem until a brake malfunction indicator appears in the cluster, accompanied by a chime. "If the brake fluid in the reservoir is depleted to a predetermined level, the driver will receive an audible chime, message center alert, and red brake warning indicator in the instrument cluster," Ford said in its defect report to NHTSA. "If the driver continues to operate the vehicle, the drive may begin to experience a change in brake pedal travel and feel, and increased pedal effort." "If a loss of brake fluid is substantial enough to reduce brake function to the front wheels, full braking function would remain in the rear wheel circuit. However, reduced brake function in the front wheels can extend stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash," Ford said. The issue can be addressed with a replacement brake master cylinder, which Ford will install free of charge. Ford has already begun notifying dealers and will send notices to customers starting in April. Recalls Ford Lincoln Ownership Safety Truck SUV
Camaro SS, Hellcat Widebody, and an Airstream camper | Autoblog Podcast #545
Fri, Jun 29 2018On this week's Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Green Editor John Beltz Snyder and Senior Editor Alex Kierstein. We talk about a lot of American stuff, including the Chevy Camaro SS 1LE and the new Blazer, Dodge Challenger Hellcat Widebody, Ford's new train station and a diesel F-150 towing an Airstream trailer, as well as some Tesla pickup news. Somehow the Kia Stinger also made its way into this red, white and blue episode (because it's great, and it's our new long-termer). This week, we try something a little different in the "Spend My Money" segment. Autoblog Podcast #545 Your browser does not support the audio element.
