The Mk III was a street car, incorporating a SB powerplant. I always like the look of the MK III frontend, as it has a longer sweeping look with larger headlight lenses than the Mk I or II. Tons of quality control problems, however. I read a review one time where it sounded like they were evaluating a Yugo rather than a Ford GT. Actually, a very funny piece.

The Mk III was a little more utilitarian than her cousins but not much. The rear was squared off a little more and you could put a suitcase of sorts in a box that sat next to the mid engine. Maybe Big Bob can post a pic of the Mk III. I really like the look. If memory serves, between 10-17 were made.

Have to agree with Snakeeyes. Looks like 'ole Rem came to the rescue again. No wonder Lee Holman referred to him as the "greatest automotive fabricator in the world". That, my friends, is operating in pretty rare air.
