Replica 1966 Ford GT40 MKII used in ‘Ford v Ferrari’ heads to auction

“Ford v Ferrari” opens to wide theatrical release on Friday, and your chance to buy one of the replica Ford GT40 race cars driven by Christian Bale, and several stunt drivers, in the film is fast approaching. Mecum is offering a “Ken Miles Hero Car,” one of a pair of replicas of the Superperformance Ford GT40 MKII that Ken Miles drove at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, helping Ford vanquish Ferrari from the victory podium after years of dominating the race. Both replicas were built at Rich MacDonald’s Superperformance Facility in Irvine, California, with the other, which is not on auction, being a replica of Bruce McLaren’s black GT40 that technically crossed the finish line in first place that year.
