Default Top Le Mans Car of the '60s

From Hemmings.com

Quote:

" With the 24 Hours of Le Mans celebrating its 90th anniversary this weekend, the sanctioning body Automobile Clue de l’Ouest (ACO) earlier this year set out to name the top cars of each of the race’s 10 decades, and while Ferrari won the race six straight times during the 1960s, the title of top Le Mans car of that decade instead went to Ford’s GT40. "

Ford’s GT40 voted top Le Mans car of the 1960s ahead of 90th running of th | Hemmings Blog

I think I had a Porsche 917 car with my electric Tyco or Aurora race car set, it was fast then!

I have to agree that the GT40 would be the top car of the 60's. I love the 917 for sure but it only raced in 69. It would have to be the best for the 70's!

I have the magazine from England ("Octane") where they put up pictures of the Gulf cars from then til now. As much as I loved the Gulf GT40 (and my Heritage Ford GT), the one that really forever is an eye catcher is the Gulf colored Porsche 917. It is a work of art
