Prepared by Holman & Moody. Raced at Daytona (Ronnie Bucknum/Richie Ginther dnf), Sebring (Bucknum/A.J. Foyt 12th). Then to Le Mans where it was one of seven GT40 Mk IIs. Driven by Bucknum and Dick Hutcherson it finished third in Ford's history 1-2-3 finish. Later used by Ford for promotions, then by H-M as development car for the Mk IIB. Entered at Daytona in 1967 driven by Mark Donohue and Peter Revson but didn't finish. Ran at Le Mans driven by Donohue during the April test session, then retired. Donated to the Harrah Collection in 1970, privately owned since 1983 during which time it was identified as P1015, the 1966 Le Mans 2nd place car. Correctly identified by Ken Quintenz in the 90's and restored as seen here including Mk IIB upgrades like the roll cage, instrument panel and fire suppression system. Displayed and historic raced since, 2003 People's Choice winner at Pebble Beach. Good used historic racing car condition.
Market commentary
Considering that this car finished third at Le Mans and that RM sold a GT40/Mirage here several years ago for $11 million this result is a solid value for the new owner.
