eBay Auction of the Day: 2007 Ford GT40 Replica

Looking for the experience of driving a legendary racecar, but don’t quite have the budget to pull off the real thing? This Ford GT40 replica looks to provide automotive champagne on a beer (ok, maybe just slightly cheaper champagne) budget.

While this replica race car may not have all the moxie of a real sixties GT40, it’s likely to be a much more livable proposition. The car is built around a modern, and perfectly powerful Roush 427 V-8, with a Ford five-speed manual that’s less likely than an original GT40 transmission to break your ankle at low speeds. As an means to experiencing the true vintage Le Mans sensation, the replica may be marginal, but as a way to enjoy some head-turning, high speed fun, we’d guess it’s spot on.
