The car was sent to Sebring International Raceway before lining up at The Daytona 24 Hour Continental over February 5-6, 1966. There, the car was driven by Bucknum \u2013 this time paired with Grand Prix racer Richie Ginther \u2013 as the race length was increased to 24 hours \u2013 at Ford\u2019s request \u2013 in anticipation of Le Mans later that year. Ford swept up as victors in that race, all with GT40s, yet chassis number P\/1016 did not finish, its automatic gearbox failing at 4:20 am after 13 hours. In among the various GT40s that competed and won in races over the following months\u2014making Ford favorites at Le Mans\u2014this car remains the only example to have raced as an automatic model.<\/p>\n<p>After the success at Le Mans, chassis number P\/1016 went on to race three more times in 1967; again, at the Daytona 24 Hour Continental, in a Daytona test, and driven by Mark Donohue in the Le Mans trials. The car was later featured in notable automobile collections and at shows across North America throughout its life, winning \u2018People\u2019s Choice\u2019 at Pebble Beach in 2003. Now restored to the same golden livery as it wore when it raced at Le Mans, the GT40 is estimated to achieve $9,000,000 to $12,000,000 in Monterey.<\/p>\n<p>For further information on RM Sotheby\u2019s Monterey sale, to view an updated list of entries, or to register to bid, please visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eu.vocuspr.com\/Tracking.aspx?Data=HHL%3d8330%3a%26JDG%3c%3b2%401609%26SDG%3c%3a0%3c2&amp;RE=IN&amp;RI=730240&amp;Preview=False&amp;DistributionActionID=11635&amp;Action=Follow+Link\">rmsothebys.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Before heading west, the car will be on view in the lobby of Sotheby\u2019s Manhattan global headquarters (1334 York Ave, New York), from June 21, remaining there for approximately two weeks.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/1966-Ford-GT40_34.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-606789 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/1966-Ford-GT40_34.jpg\" alt=\" \u00a92018 Courtesy of RM Sotheby's\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/1966-Ford-GT40_34.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/1966-Ford-GT40_34-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/1966-Ford-GT40_34-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/1966-Ford-GT40_34-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/1966-Ford-GT40_34-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/1966-Ford-GT40_34-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RM Sotheby\u2019s has announced that a 1966 Ford GT40, chassis number P\/1016, one of three GT40s that propelled Ford to its first-ever 24 Hours of Le Mans victory, is the latest star entry for the company\u2019s forthcoming flagship auction in Monterey, California (August\u00a024-25, 2018).\u00a0 As part of the trio of GT40s that completed the iconic clean sweep of 1st, 2nd and 3rd overall places at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, chassis number P\/1016 wore #5 as it was [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":606772,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10112,64,11577],"tags":[7366,17513,65,17344,1413,2302],"class_list":["post-497619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-auctions","category-ford","category-auction-action","tag-auctions","tag-auctions-monterey-car-week","tag-ford","tag-ford-at-auction","tag-ford-gt40","tag-rm-sothebys"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
