Did anyone see the history of Ford racecars ad on Fox yesterday during the nascar race? There was a Thunderbolt, a red GT40 and then they were all passed by the polished aluminum GR1. Someone is teasing us.

I found it interesting the red MKIV in the add, raced, won and is displayed at Ford with the #1 but in the add it's #4.

I like how the car is #5. Someone at Ford certainly has a sense of history...

Are they goijng to build it? That would make sense that it appeared in the ad. I'm saving my pennies now. Was the photo real or photochopped?

I would enjoy one in "black"

Certainly "NO" replacement for my GT and yet she would enjoy a sister

Are you talking about the commercial where the focus is being chased by all these cars. If so, I know they took the gt 40 out of I believe the petersen museum here. A guy named Andy armstrong was the stunt coordinator of that commercial and my buddy Keith Adams doubled the actor driving the focus. I'll see what info and possible pics I can get and post them.

For me, that is the 2nd coming of the Shelby Daytona Coupe. That car would be at the absolute top of my automobile priority list.

Something like that. :lol
I wasn't at the track until 12 and I'm not a big 8 fan. He's cool but not my fav.
