I have to have a GT40 in my life... I just have to have one. I'm currently putting the process into motion to have one built for me. I'm going for a CAV GT+ and have an engineering company here in Australia that I've been drawing up some plans with and they've got a great track record for what I want out of it. We've got a pretty wild build in mind and I intend to use it pretty much every day.
If one buys a GT40 at the right price then it's almost impossible to lose money on them and most probably gonna sell them for a nice profit or at least at BE.
@@Jack_the_rider Jack you are so right! Every year to order a new one they go up about 20%. Enjoy and at least get what you paid for it back. Can't beat that!
He's referring to the 24 hours of Le Mans, which was first held in 1923. The 1921 French Gran Prix was just 517.8km compared to the race winning distance of 2,209.536 km in 1923 for reference.
I nearly ordered a complete GT40 replica from ERA, but the NJ company stopped making them and I got married instead… Good to know SuperFormance still makes them. 🥰
Ford Shelby GR-1 concept coupe. In 2019 Superformance announced that they were licenced by Ford to produce a limited production run of these cars but, as of 2024, there are no details of this model on their website.
Are used to go to the Boise, IdahoSuperformance shop every day when I was moving away from Boise so I went there at least four times, and it was the best experience of my life being able to see these replica cars in the best shape they can possibly be was a breathtaking now that I have a 240SX with a clean title. I just realized how much that’s worth. I am going to sell it and I’m going to buy my dream car, because I need anything to give me happiness in this world I need something so if I can trade my Nissan that I don’t care about for a God holy crap
@stevejones8660 The car was sold in factory spec to Shelby. Lola do not set up cars for the races, they design, manufacture and sell race cars. The GT40 is a Lola. It didn't "take Americans" to make it win. Lola race cars have massive track success. In thr case of the GT40 it was Americans that bought it, that isn't to say had a French team bought it they wouldn't be able to make it win either.
Boy oh boy don’t comment without true data. The Ford GT40 was designed off of the European suspension system with an American V8 inside. Not a British car 😂😂
@patstenson5939 You, sir, are a goose and should heed your own advice. More research required for you to comment on anything but the weather from now.....
bro,dont manipulate your voice so much,your making yourself sound like darth vader,but not in a good way, your voice sounds fine, and you can hear the enthusiasm and love you have for the cars. if you need more views,post a bunch of shorts,one a day,it doesnt even have to have any real meaning behind it,just a short vid of a cool car doing cool shit,make little short memes in the vid,it will grow your channel,and once you do a few youll figure out how to get them done quick. but really quit fukn with your voice
Yes, American. Do the research on history of GT40 development. Also look up why most Le Mans cars are RHD with right hand shift. The track runs clockwise. There are many great British cars but the Ford GT isn’t one of them
@@paulkaiser8834 I checked and found this: Some call the early GT40 "Lola Mk. 7" because it was so closely based on the Lola Mk. 6! Every I, II and III chassis was entirely built in Britain and the prototype cars were constructed in the Lola factory at Bromley. Ford then established "Ford Advanced Vehicles" at Slough for continued production. FAV cars used a chassis pressed and assembled by Abbey Panels in Coventry. Fibreglass work was produced in Farnham and paint and interior work was subcontracteed to coachbuilder Harold Radford in London. Brakes were by Girling. Wheels and gearbox were Italian, with later gearboxes being German. Tyres were Dunlop. FAV was a subsidiary of Ford of Great Britain which had been incorporated as a seperate entity in 1931. All the main people at the start - Broadley, Lunn, Bailey and Wyer - were British, or British raised and qualified in the case of Lunn who'd emigrated to the US to work for Ford. The US element was the badge/money and engine, and then further development by Holman Moody and Shelby. That's the Mk. II project which comprised only nine cars based on semi completed kits sent to the US from FAV in Britain. British teams McLaren and Alan Mann also did significant development work early on - including alloy chassis versions which inspired the Mk. IV. What was undoubtedly wholly American was the Mk. IV, built by Kar Kraft, a Ford subsidiary, in the US. The '67 Le Mans victory, with two American drivers, is the totally American chapter of the story. The '68 and '69 JW Automotive Le Mans victories used British developed cars with Weslake (British) cylinder heads and BRM (British) wheels, FAV having been sold by Ford to John Wyer and John Willment (JW Automotive Ltd.) in late 1966. So, is any of the aforementioned incorrect? I don't think so. Not a very American story, is it? I expect you'll be claiming the Cobra as an American car next...
Superformance is actually the largest privately owned car manufacturer in the world.
I think Morgan makes more cars per year, and they are all factory built....
@@marcusott2973 Morgan is owned by Investindustrial
@@marcusott2973 I'll agree with that one ..

This video brings me great joy
Glad you enjoyed it!
The ultimate homage .
Those lady’s are built with soul and scream like no other👍
South Africa mentioned!! 🗣🗣🇿🇦🇿🇦 🔥
I love your channel, Bro!
Amazing craftmen ship. Best reproduction out there. Possibly better than the originals
$153K for the chassis? not bad. Sweet ride, thanks for the video.
I think you’ll shell out 250ish max for the top trim level. I was so surprised at how reasonably priced something like this is
These are good value for the money. Yes, expensive but still worth it.

@@williamgreen1489 Check out the new GT40 from Vanguard...You'll gonna love that beautiful beast❤️💎
You can see the oversize Le Mans float bowls on the 3255 Holley Carburettor at 3:18
All I want is someone to make a kit version of the 05-06 GT
Superlite GT-R is really close
Absolutely not true, Duesenberg was the first American car to win at the French Gran Prix at Le Mans with Jimmy Murphy behind the wheel in 1921.
He's referring to the 24 hours of Le Mans, which was first held in 1923. The 1921 French Gran Prix was just 517.8km compared to the race winning distance of 2,209.536 km in 1923 for reference.
Tell em’@@freddybones2452
Try again
Go deeper in your research. The 1921 race was a Grand Prix. In 1966 the Ford GT40 was the 1st American Car to win the 24hrs at Le Mans
@@patstenson5939more British! Even kiwi
Ford made kits !! And McLaren put together the winning cars 🚘
In 1966’
On my LIST . . .
long live jimmy price
If I had a ton of money I want to spend on cars I would def get one of these bevause damn accuracy is something hard to get

My dream car😊
Yeah time to save up for a few years for that
The car at 1:40 is the car to replicate!
What is it? I assume a special Shelby version of the 05 Ford GT?
Gonna have to start suing quickshift for dropping these banger videos while I'm at work. Bro out here trying to get me fired 🤧
Cool
U meant shelby performance tuning?
what is this silver car at 1.36 ?

Next time read your comment before posting. What a mess. Ever heard of punctuation?
They should replicate the 05/06
Damn I was hoping they would be cheaper
Shelby sued everyone and he was correct to do so.
Uhh how much does this cost??
150k to like 400k
Was the script written by or for a dealer or the manufacturer 😂😂
Lola?
250 grand gets you into a lot of compelling vehicles though.
Including this
And of course, it's not really an American car, but a British car.......
Took Americans to make it into the car that WINS RACES.

And the Le Mans MK1 's were right hand drive which is a big giveaway as to its english pedigree

Not for me
Erm, American car? All original Mks I, II and III were British designed and built. And, being British, ALL originals were right-hand drive.
Yes, American. Do the research on history of GT40 development. Also look up why most Le Mans cars are RHD with right hand shift. The track runs clockwise. There are many great British cars but the Ford GT isn’t one of them
