Mecum is auctioning off a GT40 Mk II replica used in the movie "Ford v Ferrari" at its Kissimmee, Florida, sale this January. The car, built by Superformace in Irvine, California, was driven by Christian Bale during filming and used in many promotional events.

The 427 used in the 1966 GT40 MKIIs were not the same as Ford used in it's NASCAR stock cars. Some of the differences were: aluminum heads with smaller intake and exhaust valves, 10.5 CR instead of 12.5 CR (because at LeMans you only got 101 octane gas), aluminum water pump, aluminum hub on the vibration dampener and dry sump oiling system. Horsepower was 485 vs 520. Surprisingly Ford used a standard 780 CFM Holley instead of 4 Webbers.
