Are you thinking of the MK-IV Shell cutaway?
I have a cut-away poster by James Allington of a Mk IV on my wall. A quick search of google turned up someone selling it for $50. They say it's original, but it's probably a repoduction like mine.steve c said:

I bought a poster of a cutaway of the 1969 Le Mans winning car from www.autotrend.com in 2003. It was by Shin Yoshikawa and was 18"x24". Its item number was 9514. It is still listed on their site:

Ford GT 40 Gulf Car #6 Cutaway / Artist Shin Yoshikawa / Black & White

Cutaways
I have one of those posters. They are real because I got mine directly from James Allington. I think he did a cutaway for Holman and Moody of their MKII.

I saw it at BRIC at Road America last year and thought about picking it up...one of the vendors there sells them. I will dig around....
It is available at Holman Moody I think. Here is a link to their page:

Down near the bottom is a picture of it!

So, out of curiosity, I called Holman Moody and asked them. They are out of them. They say the artist just sold his estate through Christies and moved to France and they are trying to find him. He has some 400 of these in his possession and they want to get them. He is sending me a large scan of it anyway.
Lee is a nice guy and I asked him how much for their GT40 - $750,000 is the asking price, but they will take offers. He then talked about their 1964 Ford Fairlane that kicks butt...has the same engine and within a coupld hunders lbs of the GT40. He went on to say that it qualified pole at some Nurburgring race and came in second overall in a race at Spa behind a Porche...
I don't know ... Fairlane or GT40....GT40 or Fairlane....that's a tough decision...

MKII Holman and Moody MKII poster
Mike if you find any of these posters could you let me know. James Allington was one of my all time hero cutaway artists. I met him before he retired and it was good to see the amount of work he had completed. I remember he was a Bugatti enthusiast and had a pair of wrought iron gates fabricated with the Bugattis badge. He also had the 1960 Lemans winning Ferrari Tessarossa.
