“we clocked 218 miles an hour down the Mulsanne Straight. Now, in all his years of racing... old Enzo ain't never seen anything move that fast. And now he knows, without a doubt, we're faster than he is. Even with the wrong driver... and all the committees. And that's what he's thinking about while he's sitting in Modena, Italy, right now. That man is scared to death... that this year, you actually might be smart enough to start trusting me. So, yeah. I say you got Ferrari exactly where you want him. You're welcome.”

The real car is at The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. Dan Gurney started the champagne shower tradition after winning the 24 hours of Le Mans.

Absolutely gorgeous 😍

Just found out, our actual car was in American Horror Stories season 10, episode 5. Macaulay Caulkin drove it for 3 minutes! photos.app.goo.gl/PPcmVsieXu5oiSNXA

Would like to see a Ford p68 replica.

No matter your brand loyalty this car is cool on so many levels

I wish there was a way to get full race coverage of any of the races instead just the stitched video footage.

Me too!

Great sales vid and thanks for sharing! I'm old enough to be able to claim seeing a Mk 4, but not racing. Did see a whole lot of great McLaren CanAm cars too, including the Bruce and Denny show - but that was a long time back. Race cars of any class are vastly safer today than even ten years ago. I truly loved the old CanAm cars, the way they took corners and their speed, but they were totally death traps.

I believe I saw this car in Naples back in 2013 or 14. It was at Ferrari’s on Fifth. Which is now open to most all makes car show. Very cool, and you know what it was when it started; basso profundo!

Geez. That is so beautiful. 😮

My god that’s a beautiful car

A most beautiful motion sculpture. How nice to see something to be enjoyed and not just sit around collecting interest. It would an insult to the intent of the creation. Stradivarius violins in museums have to be continually played to keep their tone limber. I think the same applies to great cars.

The actual car this is recreated from is that the Henry Ford Museum

For the record, Ford did not call these “GT40s” … they were Ford GT MkIVs and except for the 427 side oiler they shared basically nothing with the 1966 LeMans winning GT40 MkIIs…completely new cars with no ties to England. The MkIVs were all American and their win at LeMans in 1967 was similarly all American with Gurney and Foyt behind the wheel!

Shout-out to Kar Kraft and Roy Lunn and his team for planning designing and building the MkIV. " It shared almost nothing with the GT40 beyond a 427 engine. Shedding almost 300 lbs., its chassis and body were constructed using aircraft techniques, with a honeycomb aluminum main structure reinforced by riveted aluminum L-sections, with a bonded and riveted on aluminum skin. The bonding process required that the entire chassis be cured in a high-temperature autoclave. Given its narrower driving compartment, the car’s frontal area was also less than a Mk II, reducing drag. "

Went to RCR and don't see this car listed in available vehicles.

They don't offer them anymore. They made 4 right hand drive and this one left hand drive. Total

Shouldn't it be right hand drive?

​@@ScottAlesI've found even at 6ft tall, I'm able to fit in all the GT40 replicas I've had a go in with plenty of room to spare. So I prefer it without the Gurney bubble, keeps the lines nice and clean.

I didn't know RCR did a J replica... I'm determined to have a GT40 in my life, I'm very seriously looking in to a CAV GT+. But this is a fascinating machine nonetheless.

@@ScottAles Yeah I noticed the steering wheel on the incorrect side of the car... 😉 Which being in Australia, would make it a bit difficult to drive on the street. Or probably impossible, practically and legally lol. And I can only imagine the overhangs would make every fuel stop a very challenging exercise 🤔 Although I noticed it's wearing plates, so my hat goes off to anyone mad enough to take it out on the street. I know I would, if I could. But the fact you can be absolutely confident you're not going to see another one pull up alongside you at pretty much any car show has to be worth the price of admission.

@@ScottAles I did just rewatch the video and saw that when they have the front clamshell off... A very nice touch to make it a usable toy. When you're doing replicas, I think adding the modern usability is more important than being 100% period correct. I totally agree with the narration on "using modern tech" restomod style.
