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

Need for Speed movie casts Mustang in hero car role
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Dreamworks Studios, Electronic Arts and Ford Motor Company announced today that the Ford Mustang will play the lead hero car role in the upcoming Need for Speed movie, slated to hit theaters next February. Of course, the Mustang didn't audition for the role like we imagine the film's star, Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad fame, might have. Rather, Ford and Dreamworks struck a partnership deal that meant the Mustang could skip the casting couch. The deal will also see the film's universe populated with other Ford products (gratuitously so, we're guessing), and the automaker will also help the studio promote the video-game-turned-movie next year.
The hero car in question is a special one-off Mustang created by Ford that is making its debut at the E3 video game trade show as we speak. Powered by a supercharged V8 and apparently based on the Shelby GT500, the car's been modified with a widebody kit, 22-inch wheels, larger air intakes and twin hood nostrils. Ford also provided the film's production with an F-450 truck that will be called "The Beast" in the film's story, and a second Mustang to be used during filming as a camera car.
The Mustang's movie career is really taking off, with news of its Need For Speed casting closely following last week's release of the trailer for Getaway, a movie coming out in August that stars Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez and another Shelby GT500. In addition to Aaron Paul and a modified Mustang, the Need For Speed movie also stars Michael Keaton (cop, we're guessing) and Dominic Cooper (villain, we're guessing), and is directed by Scott Waugh, who directed the Navy SEAL film Act of Valor in 2012.
2013 Ford F-150 Limited
Mon, 28 Jan 2013The Ford F-150 received yet another new model for the 2013 model year, the Limited trim, bringing the ways you can order this country's most popular vehicle to a grand total of 10. There really is an F-150 to suit any need now, and the Limited variant slots in at the very top of the range, above the already pampering Platinum model.
While normally I would admit that I'm the least-appropriate person to test a pickup, the fact that this particular trim places a much higher premium on luxury than anything with a bed and Blue Oval badge before it means that I don't need the workman chops of a skilled tradesman to judge how well this truck meets its true aim.

Ford F-150 King Ranch celebrates 'history and authenticity' for 2015 [w/video]
Tue, 04 Mar 2014What's life like on an authentic Texas ranch? We honestly have no idea, having never lived on such a ranch, but we imagine it requires lots of hard work, grit and determination to keep all 825,000 acres - that's larger than the state of Rhode Island - of the King Ranch in Texas under control. Indeed, a total of 350 vehicles, all of which come from Ford, we're told, are currently in use by the ranch. No wonder, then, that the collaboration between Ford and King Ranch has lasted for 15 successful years.
For 2015, in celebration of that 15th anniversary, Ford is debuting three new King Ranch models today at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The most significant is the 2015 F-150 King Ranch, which, naturally, will add unique interior and exterior bits and pieces to the new aluminum-intensive F-Series pickup. Color choices will consist of Caribou, Bronze Fire, Guard and Ruby Red Metallic Clearcoat, with a range of two-tones to go along with a monochromatic scheme in Caribou. Inside, a bespoke King Ranch interior will be swathed in Premium Mesa Brown leather.
Joining the F-150 King Ranch on dealership floors later this year will be 2015 King Ranch editions of the Super Duty pickup and Expedition fullsize SUV, all of which will offer similar levels of content. Scroll down for more details and two videos from Ford, and be sure to check out the high-res image gallery above, which was shot by the official State Photographer of Texas, Wyman Meinzer.
