Ford GT40 #1015

2006 Shelby American Museum Holiday Pary when they started this bad boy up. The video doesn't do it justice, the smell of the exhuast fumes should be bottled and sold! Amazing.

Here's some history:

1015 was shipped to Shelby American 9/11/65. It was finished in White with blue sill stripes and a black nose for Daytona in '66. After the win at Daytona the car was painted light blue with white stripes and day-glo red I.D. patches for LeMans.
* Miles/Hulme would have won LeMans 1966 if not for Fords desire for a photo finish. This resulted in a McLaren/Amon victory. Based on the fact that McLaren/Amon started farther back on the grid, it had covered a greater distance during the 24 hours. Due to this strange finish Miles was robbed of a Sebring, Daytona, LeMans sweep in 1966.
