[QUOTE="50 BMG, post: 2657872, member: 16523"] Unfortuneately from 63-67...I've heard that Ford as much as 250 million (in 1960's dollars) on the GT40 program. And there was no real point after 67 (especially in hindsight...Can-Am designs and spec'd cars really took over racing from mid 68 till the SCCA killed it off). Not only that, but an Italian and German manufacturer finagled the FIA to ban 5.0L or more displacement engines. I'm suprised Wyer did what he did with the MK1B's and the 289's. To this day the GT40 is still the stick in the 917's ass :-p ...nothing in racing history makes me prouder. Carrol Shelby said it went 235 MPH on mulsanne in 67 in 1 of his books. The J-cars were insane, espeically for their time. [/QUOTE]
