There is a hump behind the radiator exhaust vent. I never saw a GT40 with one of these before. Spare tire underneath?

A very important car in the history of the GT 40. Both John Wyer and Alan Mann felt strongly that a lightweight GT 40 MK1 with a properly developed 289 engine would be faster than the MK2′s-and even the MK4′s. But, as explained above, Ford put their foot down on this idea.
The lightweight MK1 was used as the basis for Wyer’s Mirage, which was then converted back to a modified MK1. This lighter modified MK1 then won LeMans twice.

A beautiful car as were all Ford GT40′s and the retro Ford GT(GT40) of a few years ago. These cars are as beautiful today as they were when they were introduced. I can never get tired looking at one. This was the magic period of Sports Car Racing as well as the Can Am Series. I interested in seeing what price does this master piece achieves at auction. I wish it was mine.
