Ford GT40 Mark IV #3 LeMans HO Scale Slot Car

The copper-colored #3 Ford GT40 was on a J7 chassis and one of the MKIVs lucky enough to make it to LeMans in '67.

The origins of the Ford's GT40 MKIV is marred by tragedy. It began in 1966 with the J-Car just after LeMans. Ken Miles was test driving the car when it crashed on an embankment, bursting into flames. The rest is heavy-hearted history. There were only 10 made, only half of which ever actually raced. However, the MKIV is known for breaking records both at home and abroad. It only ran in two races: the Sebring 12 Hours and the 24 Hours of Le Mans - the most prestigious race events in all of motorsport. It won both.
