This GT40 MKII took part in the famed 1-2-3 Ford GT40 finish at LeMans in 1966. It made a victorious debut at the first 24-hours race held at Daytona, in February 1966. Following its magnificent win there, at the hands of Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby, the car crossed the Atlantic to compete in the 24 Hours of LeMans, where Ken Miles, then partnered with Denny Hulme, hoped to win the long distance race. This car led the race through many of the closing laps. Then, following a Ford decision to stage a photo finish, Miles slowed - and his GT40 crossed the line alongside the GT40 driven by Bruce McLaren/Chris Amon and ahead of the GTO of Ronnie Bucknum / Dick Hutcherson. Officially it finished in 2nd because the GT40 driven by McLaren and Amon had driven farther at that point, having started farther back. Following Le Mans, this MK II was raced again only twice, once again at Daytona where it did not finish and once again at LeMans where it crashed. Then it was retired and put into storage at Holman & Moody.
