1999 Ford GT40 DRB Replica

The car is now offered from a car dealer in New South Wales, with 3,351 km shown on the odometer. It uses a raft of genuine Ford components, not least of which is the HO V8 engine, and it is titled/registered in NSW as a Ford. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES This Ford GT40 Replica is finished in Ferrari’s Maranello Red with white sill decals.

It rides on a set of period-correct 16-inch wheels, shod with Triangle Talon Sport tyres. Inside, it has lightweight racing seats trimmed in perforated black Nylon with metal rivets, a three-spoke steering wheel with Ford GT badging, a fire extinguisher, VDO dials, door card-mounted storage pockets, and air conditioning. The car has a 59-inch front track, a 61-inch rear track, and weighs 1,100 kg.

Its engine is a 5. 0-litre ‘High Output’ (HO) V8 sourced from a circa 1995 Mustang, with Ford Turbo Swirl alloy race heads, a custom-ported factory induction system, an upgraded drive pulley, a Steeda Performance camshaft, a high-performance distributor and ignition system, larger injectors, the Autronic SM2 engine management system, a Porsche 930 Turbo starter motor, and a ‘Bundle of Snakes’ GT40 exhaust. The engine block has been decked to give a 10.

5:1 compression ratio, and it has been tuned to run on 98 octane fuel. The gearbox is a Porsche ‘G50’ close-ratio five-speed item, connected to a custom GT40 shifter, and a hydraulic 930 Turbo clutch and pressure plate. The front suspension comprises Corvette-sourced alloy forged A-arms and uprights, fully adjustable King coilovers.

The rear suspension shares the adjustable King coilovers, but features custom swingarms and axles. Accompanying the vehicle will be its registration documents, a dynamometer printout, and record of the build by DRB in Queensland. CONDITION Its paintwork is reported to be in excellent condition, now presenting with light stone chips and scratches, in keeping with its age.

Inside, signs of use can be seen on the steering wheel and wiper stalk, though the cabin presents well overall. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults. SERVICE HISTORY Its most recent maintenance was in April 2022, when technicians at AZ Auto carried out a roadworthiness inspection and general check.

SUMMARY This 1999 Ford GT40 Replica by DRB is a striking recreation of the marque’s iconic Le Mans-winning performance car, powered by an upgraded 5. 0-litre ‘High Output’ (HO) V8, and also featuring a host of other high-quality components. Offered with only 3,351 km on the odometer, it would now make an exhilarating and engaging weekend toy for any keen driver.
