This website is a chronicle of the creation of a GT-40 Re-creation by myself  & my friends Dave, Steve & Tony at Carriage House Custom Automotive.


The large picture above is a modification to an existing replica with a paint scheme that serves as a tentative goal for this SuperCar.  It will be edited when the car is complete.  Current plans for the SuperCar are to create a track-worthy yet extremely docile and street-legal replica of a 1965 Ford GT-40 Mk-I.  The engine is a 331 Cubic Inch Ford with period correct Weber 48mm IDA carbs, alloy heads, all forged internals with custom Inglese roller-cam.  The horsepower of this engine is 414 and 430 Ft Lbs Torque at the crankshaft.  The Transaxle is a 1991 Porsche G50/03 5 speed that has been modified to fit the chassis and has been rebuilt with all the correct internals to support the goal HP.
