| After Enzo Ferrari backed out of his agreement to sell Ferrari to Ford, Henry Ford II set out to beat Ferrari where it would hurt him the most...at Le Mans. So he hired racing legend Carroll Shelby to develop a car to beat Ferrari. The result? The Ford GT40, the fi rst and still the only American car to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans, winning it four years in a row! Now that 1966 Le Mans winning GT40 is available in this stunning diecast model. The astonishing detail will amaze you. Lift the front cooling ducts to access the spare tire or tilt the entire clamshell hood forward. The doors open high into the roof for easy driver changes just like the real car. Tilt back the engine cover to examine Ford's gloriously recreated 427 cid Cobra V-8 engine. From the premium baked enamel finish to the custom magnesium wheels...no detail was overlooked! |
