Mastin Gregory drove (I think) the number 11 car. He was on pace to blow out the field until the gear box broke. He is from Kansas City and was one of the first American drivers to win a Grand Prix title. I also believe Richy Ginther drove either with him or one of the other cars. | |

That's right, these are early Ford GT40s. There were many variations on the nose prio to the "standard" nose we're all familiar with today. Looks like a second generation nose as seen at the Daytona Continental in 1965 (going from memory only). The roof is actually right and consistant across all GT40 Mk1-Mk1b-Mk11-Mk111, the pic is distorted vertically. Attached photo from Ford Motor Company, original protoype. | |

The number 10 car is GT102 driven by Phil Hill and Bruce McLaren, number 11 (GT103) was driven by Masten Gregory and Richie Ginther, and number 12 (GT104) was driven by Richard Attwood and Jo Schlesser. | |

That GT103 will be Bill Wonder's car, which has been somewhat modified since this picture in 65 http://www.gt40s.com/ubbthreads/show...p;Number=22986 | |
