A coveted pair of GT40s, including a 1968 Ford GT40 Gulf/Mirage Lightweight (chassis P/1074), and a strikingly authentic, unrestored 1967 Ford GT40 MK I (chassis P/1059), are the latest star attractions confirmed for RM Auctions’ Monterey sale, August 17–18.
Among its many achievements, the GT40 stands proudly as the first American-built racing car to take overall victory at La Sarthe, and it dominated, scoring consecutive victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1966 through 1969. The concurrent road cars featured similar mechanical specifications to their racing counterparts, but with slightly less austere cockpits, featuring fully upholstered interiors. In total, only 133 of all variations of the original factory GT40 were built before production ceased in 1969.
