Specification
GT Mark II LeMans race cars. These cars are built at the Holman shops in Charlotte, NC using the original Ford GT Mark II
blueprints, specifications, and base chassis that Holman Moody used to build
their GT Mark IIs.
Ever since
the Ford GT Mark II won LeMans more than 30 years ago, Holman Moody has been
asked if an original Mark II could be remanufactured. Due to high tooling costs
for such a small number of cars, Holman Moody only repaired or restored the few
existing Mark IIs. Now, with the interest in vintage racing at an all time high
and the number of inquires growing substantially, Lee Holman and a number of
the original Ford LeMans team members decided to build a limited production of
authentic racing LeMans Mark IIs.
These cars
will have the advantage of the Holman Moody teams' vast racing experience,
blueprints, race reports, and paper work from the Ford LeMans program. The
Holman cars will be built just as they were raced, using original Mark II body
molds, chassis from original tooling, Kar Kraft style transaxle, new 427 Ford
dry sump engines, and a number of the original spare parts.
The parts
that make this a true Mark II will all be just as raced so the owner will not
only have the sound and the look, but also the feel of a true LeMans racing
machine. Holman Automotive will offer the car as a Mark II A or Mark II B.
One of the
most important aspects of this project is the people that Mr. Holman has pulled
together to build these new Mark II race cars. These are the workers that
helped Ford build and race the original LeMans GT, Mark IIs, and Mark IVs. They
will assure that these new Mark IIs will be true to original design and as
great as the Mark IIs that made history.
