4453SA had a scoop at this point, could this be 4619SA?[/QUOTE]

probably not, too many holes in the nose ( lights and round vents on either side of grille opening )... inconsistant with recent look and history of not being raced

 

And a nice pic from Sebring I think. From the Friedman Collection

This is the 250 GTO/LM 4713GT then.

I never knew that but it makes sense since the cars first appearance was at LM63 with that unique body.

I did not say "it could be Pipers old car, the rebodied GTO. I'm not sure."

I hit the wrong button. 4713 GT has it's original body and I just "baby-sat" the car at Amelia Island two weeks ago. For further information get the April issue of Road & Track.

I wish I'd known that. It would have been a pleasure to meet you.

I am sure it is. I found the race history of the car.

 

Le Mans 1967.
Victory for Ford with the GT40 MK IV, a very happy Dan Gurney on the bonnet and probably A.J. Foyt behind the steering wheel. Who is the other man holding the Moët?

Note the 330 P4 0856 in the background; third place with Mairesse and Beurlys!
What an atmosphere...

250TR 0666 in 1957 ? at le Mans ?

 

Yes! A rare photo. #0666 did not start because an engine failure during practice. So, #0684 started with n°8.

I have only small prints. Bill said he's rummaging around for slides he has somewhere, but that won't help with these photos. I'll ask if there's any chance he has the negatives. I can try to post a better reproduction. I find downloading attachments to be painfully slow. Am I doing something wrong?
I can also e-mail copies if that would be better.
