We're not even talking about the 2016 running of the 24-hour endurance race. No Ford throws it all the way back to 1966 for its new 2017 Ford GT '66 Heritage Edition. The black-and-silver livery recalls the GT40 Mark II driven by Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon back in 1966. That year the No. 2 car came in first place followed by the No. 1 GT40 of Ken Miles and Denis Hulme and the No. 5 GT40 driven by Ronnie Bucknum and Dick Hutcherson. Each '66 Heritage Edition will wear Shadow Black exterior paint either matte or gloss finish with silver stripes and Frozen White No. 2 graphics on the hood and doors. The 20-inch forged aluminum wheels are done up in a gold satin finish. Ebony leather covers the carbon fiber seats inside with gold accents on the instrument panel seat X-brace and shift paddles. Blue seatbelts round out the homage to the 1966 racecar. Ford says the '66 Heritage Edition will be sold in 2017 only which makes sense. We wouldn't bet against similar special-edition offerings in 2018 '19 and '20 1966 kicked off four straight victories for Ford at Le Mans but if you like this specific livery you'd better get in line now.
