This isn't just any Ford GT40, either. This is chassis No. 1067, and while it appears to lack the racing pedigree of some other GTs, it is among the rarest. The World Registry of Cobras & GT40s says it is just one of three GT40 MkI cars to come with the MkII's rear clamshell, and of those three, it is the only survivor. Furthermore, it was the last GT40 to be produced in 1966 and was the last GT40 to use a Ford serial number—all subsequent GT40s wore the serial numbers of J.W. Automotive Engineering.

 now, you've probably read the story of the the ultimate garage find—a unicorn-rare Ford GT40 that sat buried under junk in an inauspicious California garage for 37 years. But how did this priceless piece of sports car history wind up there? The Ford's registration plate helps tell the car's story.
