Random Ford GT-original & Mk. IV photos

Yes, al three photos are from the same internet source at the Texas State Fair.

I beleive that event was in October 1966 and the GT40 is GT-104 restored for Ford by Kar Kraft.

GT/105 ??  I recall GT/105 had the "Nassau" nose, halibrand wheels.
I  just don't know what nose GT/104 received when they "refurbished" is post SAI?  The more typical MK-I production version?

This GT-40 may be MK-II XGT-3 ??

Don Eichstaedt is reported to have purchased from Kar Kraft in 1977,
so in 1971 it would still be a Kar Kraft asset? and Don may have had access to take it to Waterford Hills club event?

I'm interested if there are others with knowledge?

FWIW

reminds of the GT40 shots in the French film A Man and A Woman. The Man is a test driver and one of the cars he drives is a GT40. It was released in 1966. Don't know if this could be the same. Nevertheless the film has some of the best car-to-GT40 shots ever imho.

Ford France was a subsidiary before Ford of Europe was formed.

For the french language challenged, ecurie on the door is french for stable

You got it! P/1007 is the same GT40 used in that film.
