Le Mans legend coming to Heritage Invitational

One of the most celebrated race cars in motorsports history is coming to the Heritage Invitational.

Rob Kauffman’s 1966 Ford GT40 – the very machine that delivered Ford’s historic 1-2-3 finish at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and inspired the blockbuster film Ford v Ferrari — will be on display at Ten Tenths Motor Club as part of this year’s Heritage Invitational concours on Saturday, April 11.

BY THE NUMBERS:

7.0-liter (427 cubic-inch) V8 engine
485+ horsepower
Top speed: 200+ mph on the Mulsanne Straight
Four consecutive Le Mans overall victories (1966–1969) for the GT40 program
Estimated value: Often exceeding $40 million for race-winning examples

The GT40’s low-slung, 40-inch-tall profile (hence the name) and thunderous American V8 power defined an era. Its combination of brute strength and precision engineering delivered one of the most iconic wins in endurance racing history.

Now, enthusiasts and collectors will have the rare opportunity to see this Le Mans champion up close – not behind museum glass, but as part of a curated celebration of automotive excellence.
