I sat next to the guy at lunch awhile back who interrred the car
but he ain't talking...it's his little secret.

reportedly he has some pieces off the car

Whether he would recognize the site after 40 some
years (I figure it was interrred between 1966 and 1967 since
Shelby lost his LAX airport facility in '67)
is another question. Sometimes freeways and major building construction have a way of altering the landscape

There is rumored to be another GT40 Mk. II buried in France, the one Hangsgen was driving when he crashed in practice in the rain. I have seen a picture of it post-wreck where it is in two pieces. I don't suppose the French would like me appearing with a skip loader and digging around the track.

On the other hand , to contradict that, I once heard all the wrecked GT40s were sent to Holman & Moody for possible repair. I also heard that Ford has some in storage and have one picture showing some in storage but have no idea when the picture was taken. At one time Ford loaned me a set of keys and I went around Dearborn, Allen Park, etc. opening little buildings and found lots of old show cars but no GT40s. They had a "dream car " sale a couple years ago but it was mostly Ghia stuff and no GT40s.
