| Curious that they gave the
GT40 the model number 41, 41c The Ford GT was released in 1965 and was
part of the regular wheels / Superfast transition, the change to
Superfast happened in 1969 and the car remained in the range until 1979.
The regular wheels version had either red or yellow plastic hubs with
plastic tyres and had either white or yellow bodywork. One very rare
release has wire wheels. The Superfast car was available in white or
bronze and can be found with narrow or wide Superfast wheels.
The top value GT is the regular
wheels version with the wire wheels from the Ferrari Berlinetta, these
are rarer than hen's teeth and go for thousands. Most of the regular
wheels ones you will see are white with yellow hubs. Yellow with yellow
hubs is harder to find, White with red hubs and red seats is rare and
expensive. The Superfast versions are all of similar value except for an
Italian issue in yellow which is very rare indeed. |
