It features an aluminum chassis with double-wishbone suspension, 18-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels, special high-speed tires.

Standard equipment included are the HID headlights, air-conditioning, keyless entry, power windows and a CD audio system.
This car has the upgraded McIntosh audio system with four-channel amplifier, as well as light weightforged aluminum wheels,grey painted brake calipers and a full-length racing stripe.
The supercharged V-8 is mid-mounted for perfect weight distribution and incredible handling.

This car really is a technological tour de force.Once the large rear engine cover is opened, anyone who loves and appreciates a true "SuperCar" will instantlyenter a state of uncontrollable drooling.
As a 6'0 driver, I really enjoy the surprisingly roomy accommodations for even 6-plus-footers. Any lucky passengerwill enjoy the same comfort and room.
The cockpit offers a blend of old and new -- the wide gauge cluster with center-mounted tach,the red starter buttona metal shift knob, large toggle switches and carbon-fiber seats remind you of its moreprimitive heritage, while the magnesium center console and illuminated climate controls lend a modern andcivilized touch.

Who is "Lifestyle 21st Century Auctions?"
We are constantly asked by all the top Auction Companies to please bring our extraordinary vintagecars to their auctions. We have been offered PRIME TIMES, NO ENTRY FEES and all types of perks.
Instead, we proudly choose to sell all of our cars to the worldwide audience of car collectors and car loverswho love the opportunityto buy our cars without paying the 10% Buyer fees and high shipping costs as aresult of a "SpecialArrangement" with a few 'on auction site shippers.'
When you buy a car at an auction...you have no idea how that vehicle is going to run and drive.This very special New Ford GT40 is a car that you could pick up in South Florida and drive Coast to Coastin complete comfort and safety.
We also love the fact that we can get to know on a personal basis those who purchase our cars.Many we gladlybuy back after a few years and sell them another wonderful collectable car.
Finally, we welcome any pre-inspection of our cars by an Inspection company that is hiredby a potential buyer. If they have the proper insurance and a valid Driver's license we letthem drive the car as well.We have a lift on the premise and we welcome your careful inspection.
We are extremely proud of the cars we offer which has resulted in a 100% feedback rating for more than 16 years.
We sold our 1st vintage car on Ebay in March of 2000. Prior to that, for 40 years we sold almost every car through print media.
The question we are always asked "How do you find all of these incredible cars?"
The answer is simple.We have been collecting the best of the best since 1960! During these past 56 yearswe have met 1000's and 1000's of wonderful guys & girls who love this hobby as much as we do. Unfortunatelymany have and do pass away and when they do the families call us.
The cars most often find us for the 2nd time....we don't "find" the cars.
We fly in to inspect the car, most of the times it's acollectionwhich can be 5 or 6 cars....or more.Many times it's a lot more, 25, 50 or as high as 100+ cars.
When we purchase & ship the cars back to Florida we inspect and drive every car. If it needs anything, we haveit correctly & expertly repaired. We don't take shortcuts. If an Air-conditioning system is not working, we don'tjust add Freon....we go through the entire system and fix it right. We're not perfect and once in a greatwhile we mightoverlook something...if we do...call us and we will do everything we can to make it right.
Additionally, we're not greedy. A small markup is added to each car, we keep the overhead to a minimumand always "leave room" for the new buyer to sell his or her car should they make that decision.
We never try to just"Make a sale"because a sale is usually a one time event. Instead, we do our best to"Make a customer"because a customer is forever and that's a VERY good thing in business.
This car has been driven a total of 760 miles since delivered new in 2006!
That equates to 76 miles a year!

Here is some interesting history on the original Ford GT40The Ford GT40 was first raced in May 1964 at theNürburgring1000 km racewhere it retired with suspension failure after holding second place early in the event. Three weeks later at the24 Hours of Le Mans, all three entries retired although the Ginther/Gregory car led the field from the second lap until its first pitstop. After a season-long series of dismal results under John Wyer in 1964, the program was handed over toCarroll Shelbyafter the 1964 Nassau race. The cars were sent directly to Shelby, still bearing the dirt and damage from the Nassau race. Carroll Shelby was noted for complaining that the cars were poorly maintained when he received them, but later information revealed the cars were packed up as soon as the race was over, and FAV never had a chance to clean, and organize the cars to be transported to Shelby.Shelby's first victory came on their maiden race with the Ford program, with Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby taking a Shelby American-entered Ford GT[9]to victory in theDaytona 2000 in February 1965. The rest of the season, however, was a disaster. Ford GT40 Mk I road versionThe experience gained in 1964 and 1965 allowed the 7-litre Mk II to dominate the following year. In February, the GT40 again won at Daytona. This was the first yearDaytona was run in the 24 Hour formatand Mk II's finished 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. In March, at the1966 12 Hours of Sebring, GT40's again took all three top finishes with the X-1 Roadster first, a Mk. II taking second, and a Mk. I in third. Then in June at the24 Hours of Le Mansthe GT40 achieved yet another 1-2-3 result.The Le Mans finish, however, was clouded in controversy: in the final few hours, the Ford GT of New ZealandersBruce McLarenandChris Amonclosely trailed the leading Ford GT driven by EnglishmanKen Milesand New ZealanderDenny Hulme. With a multimillion-dollar program finally on the very brink of success, Ford team officials faced a difficult choice. They could allow the drivers to settle the outcome by racing each other – and risk one or both cars breaking down or crashing. They could dictate a finishing order to the drivers – guaranteeing that one set of drivers would be extremely unhappy. Or they could arrange a tie, with the McLaren/Amon and Miles/Hulme cars crossing the line side-by-side.The team chose the last and informed McLaren and Miles of the decision just before the two got in their cars for the final stint. Then, not long before the finish, the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), organizers of the Le Mans event, informed Ford that the geographical difference in starting positions would be taken into account at a close finish – meaning that the McLaren/Amon vehicle, which had started perhaps 60 feet (18m) behind the Hulme-Miles car, would have covered slightly more ground over the 24 hours and would therefore be the winner. Secondly, Ford officials admitted later, the company's contentious relationship with Miles, its top contract driver, placed executives in a difficult position. They could reward an outstanding driver who had been at times extremely difficult to work with, or they could decide in favour of drivers (McLaren/Amon) with less commitment to the Ford program but who had been easier to deal with. Ford stuck with the orchestrated photo finish but Miles, deeply bitter over this decision after his dedication to the program, issued his own protest by suddenly slowing just yards from the finish and letting McLaren across the line first. Miles died in a testing accident in the J-car (later to become the Mk IV) at Riverside (CA) Raceway just two months later.Miles' death occurred at the wheel of the Ford "J-car", an iteration of the GT40 that included several unique features. These included an aluminum honeycomb chassis construction and a "breadvan" body design that experimented with "kammback" aerodynamic theories. Unfortunately, the fatal Miles accident was attributed at least partly to the unproven aerodynamics of the J-car design, as well as the experimental chassis' strength. The team embarked on a complete redesign of the car, which became known as the Mk IV. The Mk IV, a newer design with a Mk II engine but a different chassis and a different body, wonthe following year at Le Mans(when four Mark IVs, three Mark IIs and three Mark Is raced). The high speeds achieved in that race caused a rule change, which already came in effect in 1968: the prototypes were limited to the capacity of to 3.0 litre, the same as inFormula One. This took out the V12-poweredFerrari 330Pas well as the Chaparral and the Mk. IV.If at least 50 cars had been built, sportscars like the GT40 and theLola T70were allowed, with a maximum of 5.0L.John Wyer's revised 4.7litre (bored to 4.9 litres, and o-rings cut and installed between the deck and head to prevent head gasket failure, a common problem found with the 4.7 engine) Mk I. It won the24 hours of Le Mans race in 1968against the fragile smaller prototypes. This result, added to four other round wins for the GT40, gave Ford victory in the1968 International Championship for Makes. The GT40's intended 3.0L replacement, theFord P68, and Mirage cars proved a dismal failure. While facing more experienced prototypes and the new yet still unreliable 4.5Lflat-12poweredPorsche 917s, the1969 24 Hours of Le ManswinnersJacky Ickx/Jackie Olivermanaged to beat the remaining 3.0litrePorsche 908by just a few seconds with the already outdated GT40 Mk I (in the very car that had won in 1968 - the legendary GT40P/1075). Apart from brake wear in the Porsche and the decision not to change pads so close to the race end, the winning combination was relaxed driving by both GT40 drivers and heroic efforts at the right time by (at that time Le Mans' rookie) Ickx, who won Le Mans five more times in later years. In 1970, the revisedPorsche 917dominated, and the GT40 had become obsolete.
