The iconic Ford GT40 remains to be a classic and the reintroduction of the GT in 2005 in a new road-going form made a lot of enthusiasts very happy. One happy enthusiast to purchase one was Jay Leno. Jay had some unfortunate bad luck with buying a ‘real’ GT40 and instead purchased his red 2005 Ford GT which was number 12, the first one available for purchase.
Enjoy the video below of Jay explaining his whole story in obtaining the vehicle along with a few photos of the crew who built it. Of course Jay takes it for a spin in the video. Enjoy!
