Every Blue Oval fan worth their salt – as well as automotive enthusiasts from all walks of life – know exactly what the Ford GT40 is, as well as the indelible mark it left on the world of motorsports during its dominant run decades ago. These days, Ford GT40 models are worth a small fortune, routinely selling for millions of dollars at auction as a result – and that’s also the case with the Superformance recreations of that iconic model, which aren’t exactly cheap, either. However, Ford Authority readers now have the chance to bring home a truly amazing Ford GT40 MK1 from Superformance in a far more affordable way, thanks to this new sweepstakes from the folks at TapKat.

This Superformance Ford GT40 MKI is actually valued at around $250,000, and it’s a rather special example that pays homage to the #6 car driven by Jacky Ickx and Jackie Oliver in the 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans – where it famously beat the Porsche 908 to take home a historic win. This is an authentic continuation model rather than some sort of updated restomod, and many of its components – including the monocoque chassis – can be swapped out with the real thing. It’s finished in the iconic Gulf Oil orange and light blue livery as well, with #6 roundels, to boot.
Power for this spectacular Ford GT40 comes from a 427 cubic-inch Windsor-based stroker V8 that features Weber carbs, powder-coated piping, and Gurney-Weslake valve covers. Underneath, one will find an independent suspension with Bilstein coilovers and vented Wilwood disc brakes. Inside the cabin, this Superformance model features a Moto-Lita steering wheel, Smith gauges, and Alcantara-covered seats with silver rivets, plus modern amenities such as air conditioning.
If this amazing Superformance Ford GT40 MKI isn’t somehow enough of a prize on its own accord, the proceeds from this sweepstakes will go to a fantastic cause – the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Association – which hosts world-class automotive events to fund residential care, treatment, and support for individuals with autism and intellectual disabilities. Since 1983, the organization has raised more than $6 million dollars for that particular cause.
Those that wish to throw their name in the proverbial hat to win this amazing Superformance Ford GT40 MKI and support a great cause can do so by heading over here to secure their entries. Better yet, use the promo code FORDAUTHORITY and score bonus entries – the more one donates, the more bonus entries one receives. This sweepstakes is scheduled to end on September 7th, 2025 – after which a winner will be chosen. And who knows – that lucky winner might just be one of our very own readers!
