1966 Ford GT40, one of the three that crossed the finish line at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans to bring Ford its first Le Mans win ever.
This GT40 MKII was the third car in the triumvirate of GT40s that ruled Le Mans in 1966, recording a remarkable 1-2-3 finish. This car was built in 1965 and shipped as a bare chassis to Shelby American in Los Angeles, where it was completed in January of 1966. That February, driven by Richie Ginther and Ronnie Bucknum, it entered its first race, the 24 Hours of Daytona, but did not finish due to issues with the gearbox. After racing at Sebring in March and finishing 12th at the hands of A.J. Foyt and Bucknum, it was handed over to Holman & Moody, who took it to France for the 24 Hours of LeMans in June. This proved to be its finest hour: driven by Ronnie Bucknum and Dick Hutcherson, it finished a close 3rd to the GT40s that placed 1st and 2nd in a famed photo finish. Its final race was back at the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1967, driven by Mark Donohue and Peter Revson, where gearbox issues led to another DNF. In 1970 the car was donated to the Harrah Museum in Nevada where it resided for many years.
I remember seeing this car in Vegas @ the Harrah Museum.
