The Last GT40

This 1969 Ford GT40, chassis P/1085, was the last one ever made by Ford. It was sold new as a rolling chassis and remained in storage untouched until the late 2000’s when it was commissioned to its rightful JWA specifications for use in historic racing and events. This historic model’s chassis was still “as-new,” presented in unmodified and original condition. The commissioned rebuild ensured that it retained its originality, encapsulating within this particular chassis the very last essence of authentic GT40 production.

One of only 105 produced, it’s presented in 1968 JWA ‘Gulf Spec’ and is fitted with a Gurney Weslake engine. It also boasts 10" and 14" wheels with vented disc brakes and four-pot calipers, much like the Le Mans-winning cars of 1968 and 1969.

This beautiful 1969 Ford GT40 is available at Gooding and Company’s upcoming Geared online auction starting on 11 June 2021. Photos © Gooding and Company
