Early chassis (commonly named prototype chassis) are branded GT and have a three-digit number (GT 101 to GT 112). Among these chassis, at least two were made of aluminium, one was number 110 used on the X1.

Production chassis are branded GT 40 P (P for Production) and have a four-digit number (GT 40 P 1000 to GT 40 P 1086 and GT 40 P 1108 to 1114).

Prototype chassis and production chassis were built by Abbey Panels. Two Mark I lightweight chassis were build by Alan Mann Racing. They are numbered AM GT 1 and AM GT 2, and these chassis incorporate panels in elektron light alloy.

Mk IIs were built on a Mk I chassis with additional strengthening using random prototype or production chassis numbers, with the notable exception of the ex-X1 GT/110 build on an Abbey Panels lightweight chassis. However, as other Ford partners were overworked at that time, three chassis numbered XGT 1 to XGT 3 were built by Alan Mann Racing for Le Mans 1966. Unlike Alan Mann's Mark Is chassis, these chassis did not show any significant difference from those built by Abbey Panels for Kar Kraft.

GT40 Mk IIIs used chassis numbers GT 40 M3 1101 to GT 40 M3 1107.

Ford J, GT 40 Mark IV and G7A used J chassis twelwe chassis numbered J1 to J12 were built. J1 to J4 were build to J specification. J3 and J4 were later converted to the MkIV specications. J5 to J8 were build directly for the MkIV. J9 and J10 were build for the G7A. Some J11 and J12 were replacement chassis. A MkIV replica has been build around the J11 chassis.

Ford GT chassis numbers continue from the point that GT40 stopped


and no it wont fit in the ka lawrie
