Are those real, seriously? They almost look like 2 slot cars. Still badass either way.

 

[moparmarks]

Well weather I know what I'm talking about or not I still think it is one of the coolest cars ever made.
Along with this badass.
Plus have always been a fan of the GT

The yellow one is a Cheetah, I have a HO slot car of that. GT fan as well.

Yellow cheetah looks real, blue roadster is a kit car.

Yeah,
Bill Thomas' Cheetah

Yellow one is a real one that was at SEMA a few years back.
Blue one I got off of the net.

Ha Ha
Ferrari, a "crackerBox" company that was in shambles during that ERA.
Henry Ford "II" (The Deuce) sent his team over to purchase the flailing company, his team asked to see the "Books"
They said: "what books" and Old Man Enzo stubbornly backed out of the deal.
Read up on how the Lamborghini VS Ferrari Feud started, same B.S from Enzo.
Real Story
Then FORD built the GT40, Dominated
Know why FORD didn't win the First year?
Ferrari refused to race the last race, which so happened to be in Italy, they were points leader, knew Ford was going to win and backed out.
The Cobra Daytonas were ALSO "Hand Built"
And yes, Pete Brock stated a couple of the Cobra Daytonas were scrapped, couldn't bring them back from England

The whole fascinating story is in this book. I think it's time to re-read it again!

 

[super-bee_ski]

Thank you Photon440,
Never saw the book
I will check it out.
I DO know, Ken Miles was not supposed to win, but FIA rules stated Finish line is virtual, the driver traveling longer distance determines winner...
Placement of car on starting grid and distance each car crosses the finish line

Moving, gave the Fireball away, moved bug to my Friend Susan's house, moving sculptures to OC with Friend John. Couple more days & this'll be a wrap....in more ways than one.

Yeah, both real deal, couple shots from a group of side by side comparisons to demonstrate how closely Pete Brock penned off the Ferrari's lines to design the Coupe body. The Ferrari lines were a wind tunnel evolution,,,Brock's design was pure gut level.....& copying the airspace occupied, of the GTO.

Then along came the Porsche 917K. Major badass.

The GTO is a very cool car, a masterpiece of art form. The Ferrari brings the highest dollar amount, by a broad margin, of ANY, that's ANY, car EVER built, the FACTS cannot be faded.
Even though Shelby & Ford(in that order)beat the target, neither the Daytona Coupe or the GT-40 bring as much cash to the table.

 

[moparmarks]

And the Mercedes-Benz C111 was another cool one.
