Equipment
390/320hp S-code, 4-speed, Black steel wheels, Toyo tires, pushbutton radio, woodgrain steering wheel, full interior with console, Jaeger engine gauges in the center stack.
Condition
A Ford France FIA competition car when new, prepared by Holman & Moody and driven by French Pop star Johnny Hallyday (on transit stages) in the 1967 Monte Carlo Rally to great acclaim and in subsequent competition events. Represented to have the original engine. Repainted over old paint and chips, good interior. Erratic chrome, pimply rear bumper and taillight bezels. Original undercoat in the wheel wells. Good upholstery and interior trim. Remarkably original and well-preserved after a recent partial restoration.
Market commentary
It's unusual to see an auto come to auction with an estimate range of 100%, but that reflects the uncertain effect of celebrity ownership. As a Ford France campaigned FIA Mustang GT with a real competition history when new and preserved as well as this has been the hammer price is realistic even without the Johnny Hallyday history.
