I was looking at some of my old mags this evening (cabin fever) .Found a good one one from September 25 1989.Excellent cover and feature on the 25th reunion at Watkins Glen.The article is well written and evidently from a real GT40 enthusiast.

" The GT40,without question,is one of the most purposely beautiful race cars ever built.Like a modern Group C car.it has a squared nose,doors that bite into its roof and wide,rounded hips.
Only 40.5 inches high (hence the name),its stance --at speed or at rest--is threatening and intimidating.Incredibly photogenic,the Ford GT40 is also capable of speeds faster than thought.And its impact on the racetrack produced an aura of romance,a romance still evident after 25 years."
I couldn't have said it better!
