Sole Le Mans Ford GT Prototype Roadster to be Sold

Mecum Auctions has announced that it will be selling the 1965 Ford GT Competition Prototype Roadster GT/109, the only open-cockpit Ford GT to compete at Le Mans, at its Jan. 3–13 sale in Kissimmee, Florida.

This stunning 1965 Ford GT Competition Prototype Roadster GT/109 was driven in the 1965 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans by legendary French racers Maurice Trintignant and Guy Ligier. The sole open-cockpit GT to ever compete in the French classic, this GT Competition Prototype Roadster is a forerunner to all of the glory that Ford garnered in its historic run to four consecutive overall victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1966 through 1969. This Pebble Beach award-winning gem is the product of a meticulous three-year mechanical and cosmetic restoration that was completed in 2016.
