In the sixties Ford was on a mission to derail Ferrari as the king of motorsports. Huge sums of money and engineering talent were applied with two significant products - the DOHC Indy engine and the GT40 project.
The GT40 was easily the sexiest automobile on the planet for many kids growing up during that period - from the basic GT40 to exotic derivatives like the Mk-IVs (note the V-9 typo:-).
