Wow, you don't see these everyday,1966 Ford GT,in fact i have never,i have seen only two of the newer ones.Sure wish i was in my 1LE today.I'm not sure about my facts(I'm sure someone here will know though)but i think this was the original model year that America beat Ferrari with this car.Thought you guys might like to see some history that's why i posted it here.

Very nice but what are the chances that its an original and not a kit car?

Odds are its a kit car. No one would ever be driving a real one down the interstate.

GT's are pretty cool cars. I've only seen a modern one.

That was awesome! My favorite car of all time. Yes a 1966 Ford GT40. The real one is in a museum for sure as its worth multi-millions. It was number 6 and won the 1969 Le Mans by a private entry.
http://www.autoweek.com/article/2013...WS01/130209811 http://www.flickr.com/photos/smuckatelli/4692278262/ The replicas are about $120,000+ and are better cars than the originals ever were.

there was some tv show not long ago where they had the original out on the track and the guy told him if he damaged it I forget the number he threw at him for even repairing it. Maybe it was Top Gear US can't remember.
