Kirkham Motorsports took about one year to create their wild Ford 40 GT project. The project started in 2005 with a copper body based on a 1940 Ford roadster built by hand at their factory in Poland. The was shipped to their company in Provo, Utah. There they installed a supercharged 5.4 L V8 and Ricardo six-speed manual transaxle from a first generation Ford GT. Everything rides on a stainless steel chassis with an independent front and rear suspension. Behind the Ford GT wheels and hubs are Brembo four-piston disc brakes.

I´ve know this car since my teenage years and never knew it was mid-engined! Very wild!
