I remember watching the endurance sports car racing in the mid 60s even with the limited television coverage there was back then. The American made GT40 was a beautifully designed car and very competitive. It believe it is told that Ford tried to buy Ferrari, who wouldn't sell, then built their own racecar to beat Ferrari. And did. The more modern GT40s are nice but it is sure nice to see an original. Congrats to your friend. That's quite a nest egg your friend has been building.
