The one about the 40 cars is literally unbelievable.

What, you think it's a lie?

I didn't realize that Ford was building the GT for public sale, which I gather is the case from a search, this after seeing the list of cars.

The modern Ford GT was billed as "the pace car for an entire company" and Bill Ford had chassis no. 1 .

Thanks for posting this MTI.

The 917 is great. The list of cars in Canada is interesting, but the only ones I could get really excited about were the Ford GT's. Looks like that collector was into domestic cars.(Would these cars be considered domestic in Canada?)

Thanks again.

Something we agree on, the Ford GT is my favorite super car of all time. Stunning looking car, the rest not so much.
