The first-generation GT was designed by Camilo Pardo as an homage to the Le Mans-winning race cars of the 1960s, and this prototype was the first functional example built. The body is finished in black with a #5406 designation on the front bumper, white side stripes, and GT-branding on both doors.
Features include a carbon-fiber rear clamshell unique to this car, an exposed metal rear bumper with a Carroll Shelby signature, a functional rear diffuser and side intakes, and a port on the lower passenger side of the car with exposed nozzles for testing different grades of fuel. The front spoiler is secured with zip-ties, uneven panel gaps are visible, and scratches, chips, and other paint imperfections can be viewed in the gallery.
The 18” and 19” BBS wheels are mounted with Goodyear Eagle F1 tires measuring 235/45 up front and 315/40 out back. Stopping power is provided by black-painted calipers paired with cross-drilled rotors at all four corners.
The cabin features black leather-upholstered Sparco-designed bucket seats with exposed carbon-fiber backs and aluminum GT40-style ventilation grommets. An aluminum headliner also unique to CP-1 is installed, and additional features include a CD stereo, a cover over the ventilation and radio controls, toggle switches for vehicle functions, and hand-written instructions and information from the testing phase. Scratches are visible on the aluminum center console, and multiple ventilation grommets are missing from the seats.
The black leather-wrapped steering wheel features an airbag sourced from a contemporary Mustang and is mounted to a steering column sourced from a Ford Windstar minivan. Instrumentation includes an offset 220-mph speedometer, a central 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for oil pressure, voltage, boost pressure, and fuel level. The digital odometer shows 1,212 miles, and a Hobbs hour meter is installed that displays just under 217 operating hours for the engine.
The mid-mounted 5.4-liter V8 features a Lysholm screw-type supercharger and sends power to the rear wheels through a Ricardo six-speed manual transaxle and a helical limited-slip differential. CP-1 features a unique black supercharger and a matching InTech-branded left-side valve cover, along with custom exhaust pipes for emissions testing. A chip was installed by Ford limiting top speed to five miles per hour, and recent maintenance reported by the selling dealer includes the installation of a replacement battery and mass air-flow sensor.
A number of photos showing the car being built are provided in the gallery, and a binder of paperwork and other documentation from the testing phase will accompany the vehicle.
