Mark II FoMoCo picture & Press Material 1966.....

[Rick Muck- Mark IV]

Some more from the vault. This is the press kit sent out to media in early 1966 annoucing the Mark II version of the GT 40. My friend Jim has had this squirrled away since then. The photo has been commonly reproduced but I don't know if the press release and specifications pages have been reproduced anywhere...

Pre Daytona trim on this chassis.

The press release follows:

Note the date of March 18 1966.
All in all some neat GT40 history....More to come.

Hey Ron, how about a thread for GT related Collectibles, literature, articles and Models? It would allow you to keep the rest of the threads clean from this suff?

DANG ! Rick, You never cease to amaze me. This is cool stuff and I bet those guys that wrote books wish they had this, <font color="blue"> </font>
I do like the Idea of an area for memorabilia and old photos. I think Ron will to and he will make a place for it if he can.. <font color="blue"> </font>

 

Hi,

I'd appreciate a "Collectible " section - would be a nice place to display some of my (actually more than 520 ) GT40 models and other memorabilias....

Truly superb. Bet they don't do press releases like that anymore!
