Carroll Shelby did not design the GT40. He was brought on a committee of how to setup the program, but the honor of the GT40 would go to Roy Lunn and Eric Broadly. Shelby has his own racing program going on in 1964 with the Daytona cobra. FAV, headed by John Wyer would be the ones overseeing the program in 1964, and after a poor season, the cars were hauled off the Shelby immediately after Nassau speed weeks. He would then take over the program in 1965 as the head works team. Abby panels and FAV would continue to build the chassis before they were sent off to privateers and works teams, such as Shelby, Alan Mann, and Holman-Moody (Holman-Moody would assist Ford in developing the 427 during the program)
@@schmausa795 Absolutely laughable misinformation. Let me fix you up real quick. Camilo Pardo, J Mays and Carroll Shelby designed the GT40, all 3 Americans. The car was produced at various stages in Wixom, Michigan, Troy, Michigan, Romero, Michigan and Norwalk, Ohio. You've convinced yourself that the GT40 is a "British car," because a British company(Safir Engineering) held the "GT40" trademark at the time and Ford licensed it from them... The British had absolutely nothing to do with the GT40's design nor manufacture... You took a trademark license for a name branding and turned into "designed and manufactured" in your thick British head LOL
@@charlesbrown4483what is the Lola GT Mk6 if not the base for the GT40 then? checkmate, the GT40 is half-british, just like the Shelby Cobra being based on an AC 427, please, inform yourself before saying that the GT40 is 100% american
A piece of history and a work of art. The total domination is unparalleled even today. The 289 made it competitive but when Ford decided to put the legendary 427 FE engine in these cars it was a total game changer. I remember watching GT 40 Mk IVs lap all the competition and in 24 hour races they ran flat out and reliability was outstanding with the big Ford engine. A bulletproof bottom end was necessary for sustained high RPMs and the 427 was the answer to longevity and insane acceleration and top speed. Ford dominated until they pulled out of racing in 1969 from governmental pressure and politics. The Total Performance era of FoMoCo was an all out attempt to sell autos with the win on Sunday sell on Monday campaign of the day. It has come full circle because as it turns out it’s true. Enzo pissed Ford off when he backed out on a deal to sell to Ford;they took to the race track to fight it out. What a great time to be alive and witness a real clash of Titans.
Yeah, you should look up what a 39 Ford looks like with it being 124 years of fun on the farm and I do mean from 1911 until this year 124 years Ford been going strong Ford has definitely came out with a lot of nice ass cars that’s for damn sir
Muy bello Ford GT40, como que el de el BMW se pasó al mismo tiempo que el GT40, pero como que se le bajó la "pluma" y le a de haber raspado el techo!🤔😳
The car was a British design based on the Lola mk6 GT. It was underpowered however to take on Ferrari so Shelby worked his magic and the rest is history!
As a European we really needs to make the front license plate optional on certain cars that don't have a front license plate spot, it looks so fucking ridiculous on some cars
@@whoeverwhatever9279The modern Ford gt is a fantastic car. Fun fact, Carroll Shelby, who worked on the original gt40, was really looking forward to smaller engines, hybrids, and EVs. Because he was smart. Everyone paints him as this staunch traditionalist. But actually, he was extremely progressive like most great car enthusiasts. He was very open to seeing how areo, materials, chassis tuning, and more power dense smaller engines would influence future performance vehicles. All of this to say, he would have loved the latest Ford gt.
It looks so similar in the front with the ford gt 2005 and yet so different in the back and then there's the modern ford which looks nothing like both older versions
Did the make the mark1 in 1969? I thaught it was only in 66 because by 1967 it was the mark4 which was a completely different design. I guess I should research before commenting.okay I just researched a little more I guess the made all versions untill 1969

It doesn't look like a modern car. It doesn't need to. It's design is timeless.
New looks like old
One of the sexiest cars ever in my opinion
The cobra is sexier but this one is more brutal
It looks like a brand new car , unbelievable!!!

The sound of a V8 that has undiscovered potential
That car was ahead of its time in 1969 for sure they barely make cars that fly now
That's raw power right there 😍
The last 3 GT40 the Ferrari hunter has been unleashed from its cage
Better than any European car ever made
this is super rare, only like 30 of these were made in that driving configuration
The car that beat ferarri

1969 and yet it looks like it was made in the early 90s. Truly timeless
TH-cam apparently knows this is my favorite car. Except the 2006 model. Now it’s all over my feed.
only legends know about ken miles
Imagine building a car and then dominating a major racing event for the next 4 years with it.
I love these sounds
Unbelievable but this is my first time watching this car 😳😳😳 Never knew that Ford had a car like this.
Only legends know the nickname "bullet"
Gta sa 🥶

Beautiful ❤
can't believe how many modern super cars take from it's design
Es el mismísimo Bullet 😱
timeless!! WOW!! 0_0 *_*
This thing won Le Mans
Yes 1970❤❤❤❤
Beautiful sound
This car aged well. A timeless design.
Its was a NICE sound.
Yeah, you should look up what a 39 Ford looks like with it being 124 years of fun on the farm and I do mean from 1911 until this year 124 years Ford been going strong Ford has definitely came out with a lot of nice ass cars that’s for damn sir
You just can’t beat the sound of an old Ford V8.
2 Fords I'd like to own, GT 40 and/or Galaxie 500!!
It must be fun to drive that
Really just gonna give me blue balls with on of the most iconic race cars in history
Assuming its the real deal. Still a cool car
Muy bello Ford GT40, como que el de el BMW se pasó al mismo tiempo que el GT40, pero como que se le bajó la "pluma" y le a de haber raspado el techo!🤔😳

They made it in 1965
I want one 😯

@@DrIHateYT the 2005 ones nice aswell tho ❤️
They start at 300,000 to 400,000 you have to apply and get interviewed to buy one you just can't go to the dealership and buy it
A man driving this when its that expensive is gangster! Bugatti what?
That is based on a MK II so it would be closer to a 1964 (I’m not sure if it is a Factory 5 car or an original GT 40 but that’s not the point)
Looks so ahead of its time for 1969.
We got the 10x😎👍
