All three cars from the 1966 LeMans 1-2-3 finish by Ford are reunited.

You know... I saw the title.... I thought "Naw, couldn't be" but nope. It is the same Miller family that owns half the crap in Utah (LDS Church owns the other half).

Still a very, very cool collection and yes @golferboy426 it is a damn good movie.

BTW... Do not buy a used car from the Millers. Trust me.
 
There is a French movie titled A MAN AND A WOMAN where the hero is a race car driver, Some nice shots of the Mustang of that period and car he drove in the race was a GT40. It's subtitled in English but I don't agree with some of the translation. All in all it's not a bad flick but probably more ac hick flick with a little macho snuck n. I do remember the girl I was seeing at the time loved the movie.

A man in the next town over got his second new GT in 2020. You can’t just buy a new one- you have to be approved and sign an agreement not to sell for a minimum of two years or pay a huge penalty. I should have sold insurance and learned to invest at a young age. He has a huge car collection. I was invited to the unveiling party. Ford throws a big catered affair whenever a new GT is “adopted “

Very few know of or remember that film, but it remains one of my favorites. Music is special. I actually have an original LP of the sound track.

Speaking of Mustangs of that period, James Garner drives a Shelby GT350 in Grand Prix as his personal car. Nice touch, American driver, using an American car in a very foreign realm.
