Super Rare Find: Chassis No. 1067 FORD GT40

[DriverOne]

Road & Track reported this car was found by a California man in a junk-filled garage.

This isn't just any Ford GT40, either. This is chassis No. 1067, and while it appears to lack the racing pedigree of some other GTs, it is among the rarest. The World Registry of Cobras & GT40s says it is just one of three GT40 MkI cars to come with the MkII's rear clamshell, and of those three, it is the only survivor. Furthermore, it was the last GT40 to be produced in 1966 and was the last GT40 to use a Ford serial number—all subsequent GT40s wore the serial numbers of J.W. Automotive Engineering.

Always amazes me how something like this ends up in a place like that. I am no stranger to barn finds but when you have something like this that has always been special it's always amazing to me to see how badly they are treated/stored. At least they hoarded it instead of crushing it but I wouldn't put my taurus in a place like that let alone a gt40

That's cause a Taurus should just go straight to the scrapper!

I have threatened to crush mine but with 243,xxx miles on it has been a good car, every time I try to haul it off something happens and I have to drive it again lol
