The car features fiberglass bodywork over an aluminum monocoque chassis, and this example is finished in gray with black center stripes and “GT40” graphics. Additional exterior details include plexiglass side windows with pop-out vents, side air intakes, and a rear clamshell with vented panels and a ducktail spoiler.
Center-locking 15″ wheels are secured with three-eared knock-off hubs and wear staggered-width Avon radial tires. The car is equipped with independent front and rear suspension with adjustable coilovers, and braking is provided by vented discs and yellow-painted Wilwood calipers at the front and rear.
The cabin features bucket seats with black leather upholstery and stainless-steel ventilation grommets. Black carpeting is installed over Dynamat sound insulation, and additional equipment includes a three-spoke Moto-Lita steering wheel, an adjustable pedal set, and a Vintage Air climate control system.
RCR-branded instrumentation includes a GPS-based 200-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, and an array of auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer indicates 131 miles, and the seller states that the odometer did not work for a period after the completion of the build. Total mileage is unknown.
The 427ci Ford small-block V8 was installed during the build and features a Borla fuel-injection system with eight individual throttle bodies. Cooling is from an aluminum radiator equipped with twin electric fans, and further features include Ford Racing valve covers and long-tube exhaust headers linked to a pair of Magnaflow mufflers.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Quaife five-speed manual transaxle. Additional photos in the gallery depict the drivetrain, suspension, and portions of the underside.
