1965 Ford GT40 Navigation
Five Ford GT40 Roadsters were built by Ford Advanced Vehicles in England, and this roadster is one of two steel-bodied prototypes delivered to Shelby American for testing in March of 1965. This is the only GT40 Roadster to have a race history; it ran at LeMans in 1965, entered by Ford of France with drivers Maurice Trintignant and Guy Ligier. As with all the GT40s at LeMans that year, it retired. Then it was shipped back to Shelby American, and the roadster project was shelved became Ford decided to focus its development on the coupe. After three years of use as a test car for various GT40 modifications, the roadster was spotted in a dusty warehouse by Dean Jeffries, and he acquired it from Shelby. The roadster remained with Jeffries until 2013 when its current owner became its custodian.
