The love that that owner has for that car comes through with every sentence and wih every time he touches that car. Watch how he gently lowers the engine cover--40 years and he's still enchanted. A lucky, lucky man.

The GT-40 is THE quintessential Ford race car and will always be remembered as one of the most iconic and successful race cars of all time!!! The design of the GT40 is timeless as it would fit in with today's mid engine layout cars, only the GT40 is way way cooler!!!! I must add that seeing the "bundle of snakes" is always special!!! Another perfect example of seeing the very best and most exclusive cars on My Car Story!!!! Excellent video Lou!!!

Thanks Lou that was an amazing car wish you could have extended the video for the few hours that the owner needed to give us the full story of this amazing race car . He spoke about the sand bent exhaust system , a lot of your viewers might not know what this process was. Back in the day factory mandrel bent pipes and Tig welding was not available , so to avoid the reduction in pipe diameter on the inside of press bent exhaust tubing a length of pipe was filled with sand and capped at both ends and heated and bent to the required shape . Having attempted this with mixed results it is art more than a manufacturing process. Cheers Steve

@@tracylemme1375 - Sorry mate, but the Ford GT40 was NOT BUILT by Lola - couldn't be further from the truth! Eric Broadley was hired by Ford to work on developing the Ford GT but couldn't work effectively with big corporate types and insisted on doing things his way! Guess he forgot who owned and was paying for this project, but within a year he went back to his company, Lola and was done with any more work on the GT. Ford originally purchased 2 Lola GT Mk6 cars from Broadley to use as a study in designing the GT40 and returned them to Lola when Eric left in a huff. Please stop perpetuating the untruth that Lola built the car. Ford of America and Ford of England teamed to design and produce the GT40, and it had exactly zero Lola components in it!

When old Ford race cars are talked about, Alan Mann Racing is often overlooked and most of the attention given to Shelby and Holman & Moody. Almost like the commentators have tried to erase Alan Mann Racing out of the history books! Maybe with good reason as the Mann Race cars were often faster than their contemporaries on the track! And as for the Alan Mann was prepping Ford before Shelby comment, this is very true as the first cars they prepped & raced were 1964 Falcons for the Monte Carlo Rally. The custodian of this car seems like a nice guy, but I bet he gets a call every now and then from Henry Mann trying to buy it back :)

@Uncensored - Let me share another side of the great Alan Mann you may, or may not be aware of! First of all, don't confuse Mann with Shelby and Holman Moody. Shelby, HM and Kar-Kraft were directly involved with many changes made to improve the reliability as well as the performance of the GT40. Mann was merely the head of the British racing team. The reason Mann is often overlooked probably has more to do with his "unique" (I'm trying to be nice here!) style of managing his race team. When Bob Bondurant was sent to Mann's team as a driver by Carroll Shelby, he couldn't believe what Mann was directing as far as who on his team would win, who would be second, etc. He advised Bondurant who questioned it that while Shelby had sent him to race for the British team, he was now under Mann's direction and had to follow his instructions or just go back to America! Bondurant's immediate reply to Mann was, "Well, I don't know how you do things here in England, but in America, we each race to win!" In short, Bondurant played Mann's game, but went on to win his way! 🤠 🏆 🏁 RIP Bob Bondurant.

What a beast and RHD.
