MKII Coupe Chassis Num: 1032   By 1966 Carroll Shelby and Holman & Moody were deeply involved in the 'Ferrari-beater' project and it was all coming together rather nicely. The 7-liter Fords dominated the 24 Hours of LeMans, finishing 1-2-3 in what is likely the pinnacle of Ford's storied racing history. Henry Ford II's wrath for not being able to purchased the Ferrari marque, was assuaged. In fact, GT40's went on to win LeMans four times in a row. Such is the enduring legacy of the GT40, that in 2005 Ford built the Ford GT - a modern day interpretation of the original racer. This car, chassis number 1032, is one of eight MK IIs. Campaigned by Holman & Moody in 1966, it started on the LeMans grid but did not finish. Following the race it was repainted for the show circuit to look like the LeMans winner. Eventually put into storage, in 1970 Holman & Moody loaned it to the Indianapolis Speedway Museum. More recently, it has been restored by a dedicated group of volunteers from Michigan.
