Time is almost up. Entries for this once-in-a-lifetime GT40 MKI sweepstakes end this Sunday, September 7th at midnight. Don’t wait—Backfire News readers get double the entries, but only if you act before the deadline.
They will draw the winner live on Thursday, September 18th. If you see a call from a 412 area code, answer—it could be the call telling you that you just won one of the most legendary cars in motorsport history.
This isn’t a replica. It’s a Superformance GT40 MKI, a continuation build authorized to carry the GT40 name, valued at $250,000. Fully street-legal and track-ready, this car is as close as you can get to the same No. 6 GT40 that stormed to victory at Le Mans in 1969. Over two-thirds of its parts are interchangeable with the original—including its race-bred monocoque chassis.
Finished in the iconic Gulf Oil livery, the car comes powered by a Roush 427SR V8 with Weber carburetion, producing 510 horsepower and paired with a Quaife ZFQ 5-speed gearbox. Inside, it’s all period-correct details: Moto-Lita steering wheel, Smith gauges, Alcantara-trimmed seats with silver rivets. Modern touches like air conditioning and Wilwood disc brakes make it livable, but its soul is pure Le Mans.
The clock is ticking. Entries close September 7th. Backfire News readers, this is your last chance to lock in double entries and put yourself in the driver’s seat of a $250,000 GT40 continuation build.
Don’t miss it—enter now, before history leaves you behind.
