Original-ish Mk II at auction

Hi guys,

Okay, so it's P/1047B, a car Brian Wingfield cobbled together from bits and bobs in the 1980s. Still looks to be a nice car though, and probably vintage race-legal.

From my understanding HSR is allowing replicas for their races so I would imagine this car would be readily accepted .

What you you all think this will be worth? My guess is 750,000 to 1,000,000. No history but some of those bits are expensive, like the side oiler engine and the T44 transaxle.

Seems quite high although I hope he gets it. I might have to adjust my price.

Jim this car has been for sale at Bowman Motors in northern Cal. for 6 months at 250k and even listed on ebay

I like those clean MKII´s without the "snorkels"

I guessed way too high....I'm a little surprised as that doesn't seem a lot for a car with those pieces built by Bryan. Well, what do I know...

I hate to say it, but you are right. It does look nice without the snorkels.

I was told this car sold in the early 2000's for not much less than the $365,000 Stauffer was asking for it whenI last saw it at Road America, not running, in the late 90's. Also spotted a report it went unsold at its last auction appearance...after zero bids on ebay at a start price of $300,000 ( if I'm remembering correctly)

Well, the market will speak, and we'll see what it says......

April 2009 issue of Sports Car Market; Gooding & Company, Scottsdale, AZ auction report:

Lot#48 - 1967 FORD GT40 Mk IIB Replica coupe. S/N P1047B. Red & black/black nylon. RHD. 427-ci V8, 4-bbl, 4-sp. Variable panel fit. Very good paint shows light polish scratches, Plexi windows lightly marked. Clean interior shows normal signs of use. Clean engine compartment. Cond: 2-. NOT SOLD AT $220,000.
Re-creation of a Mk II built mostly from original N.O.S. GT40 components, including most of the tub. Very well done, but at the end of the day, it's still not a real one...but it is a hell of a lot cheaper. Should be worth the low estimate of $250k, which would have basically been the high bid plus vig.
