Born to humiliate Enzo Ferrari. Ford staged an all-out assault on Le Mans with their potent GT40, a 7 liter beast that obliterated the competition winning the 24 hour race four years in a row! For 1967 Ford arrived with a Le Mans special Mark IV GT40 that was fully designed, built and driven by Americans. The elongated aerodynamic bodywork increased top speed by nearly 20 mph helping A.J. Foyt and Dan Gurney trounce Ferrari for the second straight year! Standing on the podium, Gurney shook up his traditional magnum of champagne spraying Henry Ford II, Carroll Shelby and Foyt with champagne and started a tradition that has been repeated at every race since! Now the world famous GT40 is available in this precision diecast legend. Recreated with fanatical attention to every detail, from the covered headlights and mesh grille to the Le Mans tail and ceramic exhaust. Lift the hood to see the radiator exhausts thru the cutaway. Swing open the special high cut driver's door to view the race ready cockpit. Raise the clamshell tail for a bird's-eye view of the race prepared 7 liter V-8. Truly outstanding!Features
