“Ford v Ferrari” was the 2019 American sports drama blockbuster directed by James Mangold and starring Matt Damon<\/a> and Christian Bale<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The movie was based on a team of American and British engineers and designers, led by automotive designer Carroll Shelby<\/a> and his British driver, Ken Miles. Their mission was to use the Ford GT40 to produce a winning racing team at the 1966 24 Hours Le Mans race in France.<\/p>\n

Up for sale on ‘Bring a Trailer’<\/a> this week is the 1964 Chevrolet Corvette<\/a> used in ‘Ford v Ferrari’. Although not appearing as the main car in the film, the modified 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe 350 being auctioned did play a minor role, being caught in the eyes of Ken Miles.<\/p>\n

The Corvette is being sold as one of the two C2 Corvette coupes that were used during the racing scenes in the “Ford Vs Ferrari” movie.<\/p>\n

At first, the corvette was painted blue and outfitted with a Washburn Chevrolet\/Bob Bondurant livery for the Willow Springs scenes. It was then given a makeover and repainted red with a Roger Penske Chevrolet livery for the 24 Hours of Daytona scenes.<\/p>\n

Below is a photo of the real C2 Corvette being raced by Bob Bondurant<\/a>. You can find more about the racing legend here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
