Interesting article on Racer.com, indicating:

The Ford Motor Company Archives has acquired another treasure trove of material related to the GT and Performance Programs from the 1960s, courtesy of one of its original engineers.

Last year, Ford Performance staged a media event on the development of the GT40 program and the ultimate victory at Le Mans, revealing some of the documentation, design drawings, correspondence and artifacts related to the program. The star of the event was retired Ford Motor Company engineer Mose Noland, who had been part of the winning 1966 team.

Don Eichstaedt, another retired Ford engineer, approached Mose because he had some GT paperwork that he wanted to make sure was preserved. Before joining Ford, Eichstaedt had worked with Kar Kraft and had overseen the build of the Mark IVs for the 1967 race, including the Dan Gurney/A.J. Foyt winning car that year.
