FORD GT40 #6 CHASSIS # 1075
WINNER OF THE 1968 & 1969 24HRS OF LE MANS. IT CEMENTED IT’S HISTORY & PLACED FORD GT AS A WORLD CHAMPION CAR.
HISTORY HAS IT AS MR. FERRARI NEEDED FUNDING & WAS LOOKING TO SELL HIS AUTOMOBILE DIVISION OF THE COMPANY & WANTED COMPLETE CONTROL… ONCE HE HAD SEEN THE ARRANGEMENT, ENZO SAID TO HIS ATTORNEY…LETS GO HAVE LUNCH… AND NEVER RETURNED.
THIS HAD INSULTED MR.FORD & AT ALL COST ENVISIONED BEATING FERRARI ON HIS OWN TURF… THE 24HRS OF LE MANS.
I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE GULF LIVERY…INSTANT IDENTIFICATION. ONE OF MY FAVORITES, THE GT40 WAS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO OUT PERFORM THE FERRARI GTO WHICH WAS THE KING OF THE DAY
HAND PAINTED IN ACRYLIC ON CANVAS COVERED IN VARNISH.
FRAME IS CUSTOM MADE FROM ALUMINUM COVERED IN ALCANTARA WITH WOOL RUG INSERT
