But it came close. At one point FAV was given a budget and instructions to "productionize" the GT40 but that decision was reversed with weeks of the go ahead. And the chassis was steel instead of the alloy that Eric Broadley wanted as Ford thought it would be easier to produce in quantity.

Think about it....there could be hundreds of FAV GT40s extant if that had materialized!
