If you want to buy an American mid-engined supercar because it has racing pedigree and sounds great, why not buy the original? And you actually can, but before you tell you the details, a bit of history lesson:
Ford wanted to shake up the establishment and challenge Ferrari for leadership in Le Mans racing. They not only managed to do this, but a legend was born in the automotive world thanks to four consecutive races being won from 1966 to 1969.
This car, which is up for sale at Fiskerns, is the P/1003 Le Mans racing prototype raced by Guy Ligier, founder of the Ligier Formula One team. In 1965, it became the first GT40 to win in Europe, taking top honors at Magny-Cours, the Grand Prix of Albi and in the Trophee du Cognac.
More track success came when the same car scored fifth overall and first in class at the 1000 km of the Nürburgring that year.
The car is still in its original condition, and although we don’t have a price for you, a full set of excelent photos is available below.
