Yes, from what I can find on the net chassis #1075 only carried #6 a twice Le Mans winner the only GT40 to do so.

But I heard after many years at the Indy Museum Its owners reclaimed it and was curious where or what happened to it. Probably a private owner.

Gulf GT 40 #1075
Its in a collection, that my customer/friend got to see in December. Her, her husband and one brother were visiting her other brother, who's BIG into engine building. They got to see the collection of Harley Cluxton. The GT-40 #1075 is there, as well as the Super Snake was there too (just before Barrett Jackson's auction, 2 Ferrari GTO's, a Daytona Coupe, among ALOT more cars!! It was an amazing collection.
Thanks, Art
QUOTE from the Ford GT forums
"He has owned and sold about 15 of the 134 original GT40's and everybody involved in racing world wide seems to know the guy. It took him years of haggeling to buy the '68-'69 LeMans winner #1075 that the Heritage Cars are painted to look like. It is possibly the most valuable vintage race car in the world today.The 68-69 winner #1075 (last bought and sold by Harley Cluxton right here in Scottsdale) is valued in excess of $10,000,000.00 Cluxton holds the distinction of having owned more original GT40's than anyone else in the world."
