GT-40 with aluminum body at Pebble Beach

[72 tigger]

A guy l worked with at a Ford dealership 30+ years ago will be revealing his GT-40 tomorrow for the first time in public at PB. It’s only 1 of 2 built with a entire aluminum body (the other one was destroyed in a crash). His was also involved in a crash, but someone had the sense to keep it. When he bought it, over 30 years ago it was totally dismantled, but it was all there. It’s been at a GT-40 restoration shop (the guy has restored more GT-40 than anyone else) for about 15 years. Rex, the owner, picked it up in Atlanta 3 weeks ago and brought it back to Indiana. Only immediate family was allowed to see it. This is a pretty big deal for our little town (population 4000) to have just a regular guy that owns such a rare and extremely valuable car. Looking forward to watching online tomorrow as they show the 80? cars that were chosen to participate this year. The pic is circa 1966 and is one of the few vintage photos of it.
