Sure woke Porsche up! Took a couple of years, but they worked up to the 917,
which held many racing firsts and sequences for some time.
Sadly, I've only sit in one for a few minutes (Gulf 2 livery). I did have to

Sorry about that. It's unfortunate that newspapers have to charge for

Thanks Tom. No, I wasn't there for the race. I was barely out of high school in
1967. And of course the photos aren't mine. Don't know who the photographer

Nice article and images Paul. Were you there for the race? That would
have been neat.
One of my favorite Matchbox cars was a Ford GT. White w/blue stripes
and yellow-orange wheels (Non-Superfast). Purchased circa 1968/9.
I've gradually been recollecting my original collection + other

Nice story (and pics). Thanks.
I've never been a big Ford fan. I grew up in a GM family - Pontiacs and Buicks
- then transitioned to more "exotic" brands: Porsche, AMC, Subaru, Jeep and
Chrysler. With a Ford E-150 van along the way. But I must say that the Mark IV
GT40 is one amazingly good loo

The NYT uses a paywall that's a bit more complicated than a simple cookie
It's working for me okay, John; just opened it a minute ago.

Hi John. Thanks for the comment. Mr. Overland at the museum had some great
stories to tell about the car. Given more time I would have loved to have
interview Gurney as well, but it wasn't in the cards. Next time.

None of the other pages at the NY Times are doing it; just this one page.

I suspect John is hitting the NYT paywall... after a certain number of

reading the story by putting an opaque ad over it.
