2014 Ford GT40 Boss Custom
The Ford GT40 is a legend in its own right. It’s in a league of vehicles with a very admirable history worth preserving for a long time into the future. The sale of a Ford GT40 at the cost of $7 Million in 2014 rightfully made headlines across the motoring world. This wasn’t just another old Ford, it’s one of the most important in the company’s history and one that traveled an unconventional route to bring a conspicuous change in the motoring world.
This 2014 Ford GT40 Boss Custom was powered for a Boss 5.4-litre quad-cam number. ITP Race Cars wired up the engine with a Haltech ECU, replacing all the Ford equipment bar the cam and crank sensors.
The cockpit was surprisingly comfortable, thanks to the Gurney roof bubble, liberally ventilated upholstery, and panoramic visibility provided by a wraparound windshield. A fine place for McLaren and Amon to drive long stints. The three-spoke wheel was nearly vertical, within easy reach. There was a raised step to brace left foot, and the brake and accelerator pedals were situated for never-miss heel-and-toe operation. The tall shifter mounted just inside the sill clicked smartly into gear, a handy blocker guarding against accidental reverse engagement.
Less than a hundred GT40s were built. This makes it a rare find anywhere in the world, and this partly explains why they are so expensive. Among the rarest finds is a this 2014 Ford GT40 Boss Custom.
