In the motorsport's world, it is easy to blend into the rostered,
hardworking group of drivers and teams. Through each driver's honed
skillset and attempting to shine for the world is often close to
impossible; only the most patient and persistent take Podium and
leave a legendary and unforgettable legacy. Two names in motorsport
are known for their sheer will and determination, and made it a
goal to be printed in the record books: The Ford GT and Chip
Ganassi. One was a most unsuspecting racecar designed to beat
Ferrari's Italian purebred car in 1966 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans,
the other is a Hall of Fame member for his courageous moves in the
motorsports world and simultaneously, a championship team owner.
Both started with a winning vision they could feel and would end up
proving to the competition that they were not to be messed with,
recording themselves down in motorsports history with pen and
paper. With both their legacies tied together more recently with
Chip Ganassi Racing chosen by Ford to run their new Ford GT in IMSA
and specific European races like the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the pair
have managed to make a name for themselves together and
separately.
The Ford GT40 legacy tells a tale of a timeline of over half a
century. The first wave of Ford GT40s were designed and built with
one obsession in mind; to give Ferrari no choice but to eat their
dust during the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 1966, they took 1st, 2nd,
and 3rd place at Le Mans proving that an American manufacturer
could not only compete and run with the European top dogs, but
leave them hanging and keep in their rearview mirrors. The Ford
GT40 would continue to dominate Le Mans for the next 3 years,
solidifying a 4-year streak between 1966 and 1969. After the final
race, the Ford GT name would take an extended hibernation of almost
four decades, finally opening its eyes in 2004 with all-new GT road
cars. These were developed to be street cars with 550 horsepower
with just a tap of the throttle.
Ford would then again disappear beneath the surface for almost a
decade, leaving fans and enthusiasts with unanswered questions as
to if and when the GT would ever come back. Lo and behold, Ford
attends the 2015 Detroit Auto Show bringing a huge surprise to its
fans and enthusiasts and unveils the 2015 Ford GT. It was later
announced in the summer of that year, that the Ford GT was set to
go racing in both IMSA and the World Sports Car series, lead by the
Chip Ganassi Racing team. Just like dejavu from 50 years ago to the
day with Ford's first place win on the Podium at Le Mans, Chip
Ganassi Racing would take 1st in class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans
in 2016 with their Ford GT, just like what they did with their
predecessor.
Ford saw a flooding of applicants who wanted to get their hands on
one of the limited allocations for their road car application
process who wanted to get their hands on one of the limited
allocations, despite only 1,000 being announced to be built
initially. With over 8,000 applications in just the first week,
most received rejections only to dream of what it would be like to
own Ford's most advanced and modern supercar. A small number of
very lucky
individuals would learn that they would soon be customizing and
receiving their very own Ford GT, one of the most advanced sports
cars available even to this day.
This single owner car was purchased from a customer (and friend of
Bruce Canepa), who over the years has had some of the greatest
cars.
Upon arrival at Canepa, every collector car for sale is put through
an extensive and diligent process called the "Canepa Difference."
This includes a major and comprehensive mechanical inspection where
all systems are checked and serviced as necessary. They also
receive award-winning Concours-level detailing, including a
thorough cleaning of each and every surface that ensures that every
car is a sight to behold.
