1969 Ford GT40 Lightweight // Mecum Monterey 2024

Rarely do examples like this incredibly important 1969 Ford GT40 come to market, as it is one of the mere 10 original factory competition lightweights produced at the end of GT40 production.
Unlike most original GT40s, this is one of the very few cars that made it through its life still retaining its original body, chassis, engine and transaxle, as documented by GT40 expert Ronnie Spain’s dossier, which also includes photos of the car being assembled new at the factory.

[@markhale8084]

Ford first put the 427 into the GT40 in 1965. Driven by Miles/McLaren and Hill/Amon at LeMans. Neither car finished but they were very quick…1966 is when they got the bugs out and won. They also won Daytona in 1966 (not just LeMans and Sebring).

[@billstephens9033]

Hmm, we were chosen to host this video because of our longtime experience and deep knowledge of automotive and motorsports history, not our appearance. Thanks for your intelligent comment.
