1966 Safir GT40 Mk V - Rare Continuation GT40

This Safir GT40 Mark V is one of 40 continuation examples built in partnership with J.W. Automotive Engineering and Ford Motor Company. It was ordered new by its late owner, a vintage racing stalwart and aerospace engineer, and completed in 1986.

Finished in blue, the car is powered by a 302ci Ford V8 linked with a ZF five-speed manual gearbox. Additional equipment includes “bundle of snakes” headers, quadruple carburetors, 15″ cast magnesium wheels, a fire suppression system, a Heuer stopwatch, and black cloth seats with ventilation grommets.

Recent work included replacing the tires, windshield, and fluids, as well as refinishing the wheels. This GT40 Mk I replica is now offered with spare parts, original correspondence, and a clean Montana title listing the car as a 1966 Ford UNK.
