Chassis No.:  GT40P/2183

Continuation GT40 by Pathfinder Motorsports

This is a licensed continuation GT40 in an extremely rare Mk IIB configuration – with modifications by Holman Moody, who along with Shelby American, prepared GT40s for Ford in the 1960‘s.  This GT40 is dialed-in and ready for street or track.  With a Safir GT40s Spares-approved GT40 continuation chassis, this car is immaculate with a Holman Moody-type Mk II dash and 427/575HP pump gas engine with Weber-style EFI tall-stack performance.  

This is one of only two Safir-licensed Mk IIB continuation GT40s, built with extraordinary attention to detail. The Mk IIB was the final version of the Ford-sponsored GT40s, and it represented the acme of track-proven refinements. As an example, the Mk IIB dashboard - different from every other Mk I and Mk II – was shared with every Mk IV 'J' cars at Le Mans. 

Over a year's effort has gone into P/2183's Mk IIB transformation, including work by Holman & Moody. This car features original GT40 components such as the Lucas 608 mirror, Holman Moody suspension upgrades, Olthoff Racing updates, and dozens of special modifications that add to this car's authenticity.  This is a precise and historically accurate licensed continuation model 1967 GT40 Mk. IIB built on a fully licensed, continuation chassis by Superformance/Hi-Tech.

It features a titanium-silver & black stripe paint scheme with several Le Mans-inspired elements, including a low-reflection front hood area and correct aerodynamic modifications. It is delivered in left-hand drive for safe streetability and domination at any track-day event. GT40 P/2183 is absolutely stunning – and unique!  You will not find another GT40 like this anywhere.
