1960s Era Ford Race Cars Ready for New Owners
If you like vintage race cars, and you like Ford products, and you have a particularly large amount of commas in your bank account, then you’re in luck. One of the most complete collections of vintage Ford racing cars is now for sale, and some very fine machines are included. Jim Click is looking to thin out his collection by a few cars, and that opens up the opportunity for us to drool and dream.
The iconic GT40 included is a rare road-going model (but still track ready) and estimated to fetch $4,000,000 in Monterrey next week. One of the most successful racing Cobras is in there as well, and it’s another two-comma car, valued at over $2,500,000. If one Cobra wasn’t enough, there’s another original Cobra included, but it doesn’t have as extensive racing history or pedigree.
There’s also a triplet of Mustangs. An original GT350, formerly campaigned in SCCA B-Production category is included, as well as two Boss 302 racers. The Boss Mustangs are a 1969 and 1970 model that raced in the Trans-Am series. The ’69 was piloted by some serious names in racing: Dan Gurney and A.J. Foyt. The 1970 model wasn’t without wins either. Through various drivers, it placed third in the championship.
