A highly sought-after 1966 Ford GT40 Mk II is now available for purchase, offering collectors the rare opportunity to own one of the most celebrated cars in racing history. With an estimated value between $8 million and $11 million USD, the car is being offered from the collection of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, where it has been displayed since 1968.
This particular GT40, chassis P/1032, is one of only eight Mk IIs ever built and boasts a remarkable history. It played a key role in the 1966 endurance racing season, starting with a second-place finish at the 12 Hours of Sebring, where it was driven by racing legends Walt Hansgen and Mark Donohue. The car continued its illustrious journey as one of three Holman-Moody entries at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, where it was piloted by Donohue and Paul Hawkins.
After its racing career, the car was exhibited at major European motor shows and was later donated to the IMS Museum, where it has been a prominent part of their collection. A full restoration was completed in 2011, returning the car to its original #4 Holman-Moody Le Mans livery, making it a true representation of Ford’s engineering excellence from the era.
Powered by a 427 NASCAR V8 engine and equipped with advanced cooling modifications, the GT40 Mk II was designed to dominate endurance racing, and it lived up to that reputation. Despite encountering technical issues during its 1966 Le Mans entry, the car remains a significant part of Ford’s racing legacy, having contributed to the company’s eventual victory at Le Mans that year.
This is a rare chance to acquire a piece of motorsport history, as P/1032 is considered one of the best-preserved and most significant Mk IIs in existence.
