In the early 1960s, Ford was negotiating to acquire Ferrari, and as the deal was about to close, Enzo Ferrari backed out of it and insulted Henry Ford II and the cars he made. Irritated by this behavior, Ford decided to beat Ferrari at their own game, at the 24hrs of Le Mans. To achieve this, Ford commissioned Carroll Shelby. As a result, his team gifted the world with the stunning Ford GT40. It went on to dominate Le Mans for four consecutive years, cementing the GT40 as a legend in the racing world. Owning this hallmark of a car is only a dream for many, as it is now a million-dollar museum piece. However, companies such as RCR (Race Car Replicas), are making this dream achievable. This is one such example of a 2017 RCR GT-R Replica Kit Car offer the looks of a modern Ford GT but for a fraction of the cost.
The GT40, as the name suggests, is just 40 inches tall to fit in with the Le Mans regulations. This low height and the effort to make an aerodynamic car made the GT an absolute stunner finished in a bright baby blue paint job. This example has been crafted out of a custom body fitted onto a custom frame so it can fit the 19/20 inch staggered Forgestar Performance Wheels setup wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero 285 tires up front and meaty 335 tires at the rear. This wheel setup not only provides a race car-inspired look but also provides superior handling and helps put all the engine power down. As the car is considerably low, it has been fitted with a hydraulic front lift to help over bumps. Gracing around the exterior, you will see Brembo 4-Piston calipers at the front and rear hugging over slotted and drilled rotors. There is a tow hook for the days you decide to bring it to the racetrack, and a carbon fiber rear lip spoiler for added downforce, complete with a flat bottomed under tray sweeping out to a rear diffuser for the extra downforce. The cockpit is tight and solely focused on achieving the car's best performance. The dials, steering wheel, pedals, and gated shifter are placed perfectly to improve the experience. There is a touch screen radio head unit while Sparco racing bucket seats keep you in place.
You can fit a number of engines to the RCR GT-R replica, but this build has been done with Ford's very own 3.5L EcoBoost V6 twin-turbo engine that has been properly custom fitted to fit inside the rear of this unique chassis design. Taking a glance at the engine compartment, you’ll see a custom intake plenum with Treadstone Performance Engineering Silicone Piping and an external wastegate, giving hints that this twin-turbo V6 means serious business. The V6 is mated to a gated six-speed manual that has been said to be sourced from a Lamborghini Gallardo to transmit the power to the rear wheels.

As the predecessor of the 911, and the first production car by Porsche, there’s a lot of history behind the 356, and it’s no surprise that there are people around the world who continue to find ways to pay homage to what is an iconic piece of motoring history. Classic Motor Carriages’ 1987 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica is one of them. Built to maintain the original Porsche design on the road, this car retains the original vehicle’s appearance and features, with some tasteful enhancements. Still, it has a Porsche heart keeping it going, and with only over 11,100 miles on the clock, you know that this is a car that will keep on going.
This 1980 Auburn 874 Dual Cowl Phaeton is one of the extremely rare continuation cars built by Glenn Pray and the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Company in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Pray continued the Auburn legacy by hand-building a very limited number of high-quality replicas, and this example is reportedly one of only 18 ever produced. Unlike most kit-style recreations, the Pray-built 874s were factory-assembled, professionally engineered, and authenticated directly by ACD. This particular vehicle carries a remarkable provenance. It was owned for nearly three decades by Bob Uecker, the legendary World Series champion, comedian, actor, and iconic Milwaukee Brewers radio broadcaster who was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame as the Ford C. Frick Award recipient in 2003. Prior to Uecker’s ownership, the car resided in the renowned Rank family collection and was even used in the 1982 Brewers Post-World-Series Parade, carrying manager Harvey Kuenn and his wife Audrey through Milwaukee to County Stadium. Garaged and sparingly driven since 1997, the car shows 4,325 miles, with an estimated actual mileage of roughly 5,000. In April 2025, it underwent a comprehensive mechanical inspection and servicing by Sports and Classics Service in Delafield, Wisconsin, ensuring that it remains a running and functioning example of one of the rarest Auburn continuations ever built.
The first ever production car from iconic German automaker Porsche was the 356. It was made between 1948 and 1965, and was the brainchild of Ferry Porsche, son of Ferdinand Porsche. Over 76,000 were made, and today, it’s estimated that approximately half of that contingent survives. However, getting your hands on an original 356 is quite tough, not to mention expensive. These cars regularly move for six-figure sums of money. That’s why replicas are a great way to get in on the action if you really want a 356, but aren’t too fussed about originality. Here, we have a 1956 Porsche 356A Convertible Replica that’s reportedly built in 1969. The work was completed by Hicks VW Services, because the Porsche 356 and Volkswagen Beetle have some commonalities.
