Era 1966 Mk1 Gulf Body Ford Gt40 Spyder/roadster on 2040-cars

ERA 1966 MK1 GULF BODY FORD GT40P2036 SPYDER/ROADSTER.   

The ERA GT 40 replica is generally regarded as one of the top GT40 replicas ever produced.  The ERA GT40 chassis is visually and structurally very similar, and in some cases, superior, to the original GT40 chassis.  ERA incorporates many improvements to implement the transition from pure race car to practical street transportation.  The chassis is a monocoque structure like the original, but instead of cold-rolled mild steel like the original, the ERA chassis is made of 14 to 20 gauge stainless steel, making it about 50 lbs. heavier than the original.  That’s a small price to pay for greatly increased corrosion resistance and reliability.  The chassis has been modified to allow left or right hand drive.  By narrowing the rocker panels slightly, more interior space and comfort was achieved.  Like the original, it has a built in structural roll bar.   The car being sold here has an additional MKII style full roll cage, making it even safer than the original street cars.

Raced at Road America, Road Atlanta, Roebling Road, Moroso.  Was invited to participate in the latest GT40 reunion at Road America, Elkhart Lake, WI.   This is a dual purpose car—a fun street car that can be driven to work daily, and which won’t embarrass you on the track.  Drive to the track, race it, and then drive it home; just like they did in the 60s.

 A few corrections and additions.....
