I rolled through there 5 minutes before it happened and they flew past my sister and did this 100 feet in front of her.

One of the tribute cars, properly a Ford GT not a GT40, still sad to see.

Last real one I saw on FeePay got to about 3 million reserve not met.

Hemmings has this 1966 for sale, if you have to ask you can't afford it. I would guess in the 3-4 million range.

The real GT40's were built in the 60's. Ford sold the program to an English race team, so the GT40 trademark got away from them.

Quote from Hemmings:

"The Ford GT40 was a high performance sports car and winner of the 24 hours of Le Mans four times in a row, from 1966 to 1969 (1966 being the Mk II, 1967 the Mk IV, and 1968-1969 the oldest chassis design, the Mk I)"

They literally changed the rules to outlaw them, but as it was they were still winning 3 years after they quit building them.
