1968 Ford GT40 Gulf/Mirage Lightweight Racing Car http://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoram....html?page=all
Successful race cars typically spend so much time on the track that there's not many original parts left when they're retired. This 1968 Ford GT40 in the classic Gulf livery has been through several engines and its original bodywork resides in France, yet the car's still expected to fetch several million dollars when RM auctions puts it up for sale this weekend.
The reason? This car not only ran and won races around the world, with some of the greatest drivers of the era, but was chosen by Steve McQueen to be a camera car for his movie "Le Mans." Despite having its body and engines chopped throughout its life, it's one of the rarest endurance race cars in the world, and the first Ford GT40 to wear the Gulf colors.
the music is kickass too
