I talked to a guy who is a consultant to the 20th Century Fox feature now filming with the working title Ford Vs, Ferrari. Matt Damon plays Shelby and Christian Bale plays Ken Miles.

I haven't heard
--any word of the producers searching for cars though it seems they would want to find the GT40 1964 style I saw at Pebble Beach or the J-car replica that was at some racetrack. I don't know if owners of real cars will want to see them thrashed for a movie. On the other hand , then they would be able to say later, "Thats my car in the Monza sequence" should do wonders for your car's value.

--what tracks specifically will be used, though the State of California granted them $17 million in tax credits if they film over 60% in California. One story mentioned San Bernardino--makes me think must be plenty of old airplane hangers at what used to be an AFB there. One could double as the LAX Shelby factory in '65.

So I hope someone out there finds out what tracks and what day shooting starts and tells us readers. Then we have to find out how to be up in the stands....
