Ford announces the final third-generation Ford GT special edition model. The 2022 Ford GT LM Edition celebrates Americas only Le Mans-winning race car won in 2016 and the historic 1-2-3 podium sweep in 1966.

The project was born out of Bumpstop, a mentoring program founded in 2016 by Josh Shelley and run under Fusion Australia. The aim? Teach disadvantaged teenagers life skills by wrenching on cars, learning teamwork, and building confidence. Their first project was a humble Honda CR-V, but then came the paddock-find Corolla — originally destined for V6 motorkhana duty until fate intervened in the shape of a crashed VY Commodore SS.

The deal included one car with a chassis, an extra chassis with a cross brace and one flathead engine. The deal was that if the flathead engine was no good, it would be replaced with a second option and that I would return the Corvette wheels and the Jaguar front and rear suspension after moving the car to my workshop.

The build started with chassis 161 of only 246 road-going Targa models in the US for that model year and is powered by a modified 2.7L naturally-aspirated flat-six engine. The modified flat-six features larger 92mm cylinders (compared to the factory 90mm cylinders) bumping the cars output to 180 horsepower. The brakes are upgraded OEM 986 Porsche Boxster units, a rear-seat delete saves weight and the steering was restored with new seals and gaskets.

Kalvin started looking for one at the beginning of 2019. And so, with a few good contacts in the Volkswagen game, came across a good-condition MK1 in the very first month of searching. However, it was based in the Free State around 800kms away.
