1967 GT40 on Hemmings

[Bigfoot]

I'm sure the price reflects not only the body changes but the fact that it was "crashed" and only part of the tub was kept with the car. Unless I read that wrong.
Where would the relevant serial number(s) be onnthis?

Can't just be that one tag in picture 13....?

I would never buy another car from F40/Wayne C.....

Just for reference here's a pic of the crash at Riverside Can-Am 1970. Both drivers got out ok.

How to ruin the greatest car ever built?

^^^ Yeah, and you have to wonder why the car was so successful in "GT40" configuration and then almost terminally unreliable as a Can Am car.

   The car with the #15 meat ball is not the same as the "winged" version. The # 15 clearly has the offset "stacks" indicating a tunnel port 427. The "winged car" has equal spaced stacks indicating a 494 or calliope engine. While J10 has many known drivers , NONE of them raced the car as a GT40 MK IV , because it wasn't until converted as the above information states. "To me" that is VERY mis leading and is likely what hurts the value of this car. A similar action would be using a real 289 Cobra to "build" the 7th , 8th , 50th Daytona coupe LOL.
    While not in the same category as the "modern run" of MKIVs done by Mike Teske , J10 simply wasn't a MKIV when built.
      Just this grumpy old man's opinion.

I think this shows the differences as pointed out by gt350hr in the previous post ?

Where was that car originally built ?

Thanks Randy, I think that ^^^ pretty much nails it

   And you guys thought I was just a "straight liner" ! Thanks to Honker ( Mike) for the pictures to back up what this "old guy" saw "in the day"
    You guys are great!

A strait liner in what sense? I personally see some value in being a little bent here and there?  It helps keep the trouble makers at a comfortable distance?

I personally agree that, from a historical perspective I would prefer to see both the G7As in the config that they raced in originally.

With that said, the owners of the cars have made them into MKIVs likely because they are far more marketable and likely more valuable in that configuration regardless of never being built that way by Ford/Kar Kraft/SAI.

Agree or disagree, its just the way it is. The G7A can am cars just have little if any following because they had little if any success. The McLarens mopped the floor with just about any Ford powered car that ran in Can Am.

Kind regards,
Vern

Being defeated by the (gorgeous) McLarens is one thing, but the long string of DNFs is interesting.

Glad the G7As still exist.
