It set a new record for a GT40 sold at auction. The previous record was $11 million for 1074, the "Le Mans" camera car in 2012.

The Audrain Concours (Oct 5, 2025) in Newport, RI has a "Ford GT40 MKI Road Car 60th Anniversary Reunion" class. https://www.audrainconcours.com/ If you want to see the Concours cars for free, on Saturday there's a rally, a Cars and Coffee, and midday they close off Bellevue street and park a...

First they came out with a slot car track hiding under a Porsche 917 body, now they have a track hiding under a GT40 body. https://www.thedrive.com/news/this-1969-ford-gt40-race-car-has-a-secret-slot-car-track-inside The Porsche 917 track sold on BAT for $200K.

The next time I ask an innocent question, I'll be more careful. :) Thanks for organizing the weekend. I had fun doing the charity laps. As requested, I kept the speeds under 70 mph, but as I got more familiar with the track, I was able to go faster on the corners and the straight with a...

It's a good story, but it likely didn't happen (there are no first hand reports) and the "bomb" in the photo is actually a "Mark IV Aircraft Float Light" (frequently used for water rescues)...

Apparently, the EV and EUV have different Sport modes. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2022/04/how-to-use-the-driving-modes-in-the-chevy-bolt-ev-and-bolt-euv-video/ In the EUV, which we have, the Sport mode button is also used for "adjusting the power steering rack to make the steering a bit...

That reminds me, I really like using the Bolt's Sport mode. It nicely tightens up the steering.

I think I read that the F-150 hybrid has a range of ~35 miles, so it might have been able to handle most of the 8 hour traffic jam. If it's an option on an EV, get heated seats. They use less power than an EV's heater.

My wife has a 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV (slightly larger than the Bolt EV). She loves it. In good weather it has nearly a 300 mile range (but she has the changing set to stop at 80% to preserve the batteries, except for long trips when she charges it to 100%). I replaced my Ford F-150 3.5L V6...

One more tip for dealing with potential scammers trying to sell you something. If they include a photo, right-click on the image in your web browser and search for similar images (in Chrome it's now called "Search image with Google Lens". If you find the same photo(s) online where else and...

Sorry, you're right. I searched for 1016 and that was the page that came up. In the text, it mentions 1016 as another car at Le Mans. I found this Facebook post mentioning 1016, but it's a bit strange. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php/?story_fbid=523879630667630&id=100091367931648

It'll be at the RM auction in Miami Feb 27/28. https://rmsothebys.com/auctions/mi25/lots/r0002-1966-ford-gt40-mk-ii/ They also have a great looking car for commuting. https://rmsothebys.com/auctions/mi25/lots/r0008-1965-spirit-of-america-sonic-i/

I'm using Grundy. It hasn't increased in 10 years after I got them to match Heacock.

"Live every second as the Ford Mustang GTD records a 6:57 lap at the infamous Nürburgring in Germany, taking Ford where no other American automaker has been before." Though not as exciting as watching Sabine Schmitz (RIP) trying to break 10 minutes at Nürburgring in a Ford Transit van.

I don't know what sizes they have, but a quick web search shows it looks like Wills Rings are still being made. https://www.trelleborg.com/en/seals/products-and-solutions/static-seals/wills-rings-o The page has a link to a catalog.

[This is the message I wrote this morning, then forget to press send] The first book (by Ronnie) is now available for pre-order. In the US, it's $420 (plus shipping). Since I placed my order, the US price has gone up by $1 (my guess it's doing live currency conversion)...

I was just looking at the "half naked" photo of 1032 at LeMan after it lost the tail. https://rmsothebys.com/auctions/mi25/lots/r0002-1966-ford-gt40-mk-ii/#/smallgallery_1280578 (scroll down to the black&white photos, look for the Dunlop sign)

Playforever has a new toy car called the "Ken". It looks like a stylized GT40 with a RHD driver. It's ~7" long and the price is $55. https://playforever.us/collections/ken

For folks like me who don't remember that Mini, here's the first article I found about it. https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-spottedykywt/you-know-you-want-to--the-gt40-mini/24689 It was offered for sale for 17,500 GBP. One of the comments says "If my memory serves me correctly the owner of...
