Not to be confused with the modern lazybody, the old GT40 is a legend of the track and as a result, American buyers gobble them up whenever one hits the auction block. This 1965 example has been restored to glorious condition and will go under the hammer next month at RM Auctions' Arizona auction.
RM Auctions has not revealed the full details about ownership and the condition it’s in, but they did say it’s worth about $3 million given it’s minty state. The car is painted Pine Green with white stripes and has been tailored for personal use, equipped with a heated windshield, fender-mounted mirrors, two fuel gauges and mufflers.
It originally belonged to James Fielding, chairman of Heenan and Froude, the company that made dynos used in testing and development o the original GT40 racers. That sort of pedigree only comes around once in a while, so buyers will surely flock to the January 18th auction in Phoenix, Arizona.
