Available for auction is a 1:8 Scale 1966 Ford GT40 by DeAgostini. This superbly detailed die-cast model in metal and injection-molded plastic is a 1:8 scale replica of the legendary endurance racing car that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans four times between 1966 and 1969.
The Ford GT was created to break Ferrari’s dominance in the prestigious world of motor racing. In 1965, racing legend Carroll Shelby, creator of the Cobra, took control of the team and the GT scored its first win. After further development, in 1966 the 7.0 liter Mk II cars came 1st, 2nd and 3rd at Daytona, Sebring and then Le Mans. The Wyer Racing GT, chassis number 1075, came first in four other world-class long-distance events. This is a replica of the car that was driven to an epic victory at Le Mans by Jacky Ickx and Jackie Oliver for the second time in 1969.
The car is finished in a Gulf officially licensed blue and orange paint scheme over black leather upholstery, orange-finished 15″ BRM wheels, fixed-back bucket seats, plexiglass door windows, and VDO instrumentation. 
The bodywork of the GT40 is constructed of solid metal, and features a Gulf officially licensed blue and orange paint scheme with #6 roundels. Equipment includes a rear spoiler, Lemans-style fuel caps, vented engine covers, dual mirrors, side air intake ducts, plexiglass door windows, a single windshield wiper, and dual exhaust outlets that exit in the center of the rear fascia.
Orange 15″ BRM knock-off wheels are mounted with Firestone Sport Car Special white-letter tires. The cockpit features fixed-back bucket seats upholstered in black leather with ring-grommet ventilation joined by a matching dashboard, center console, and door panels. Equipment includes a center-mounted switch panel, red Sabelt-branded seat belts, and fire extinguisher at the passenger footwell. The model comes complete with a wooden and plexiglass display case, Gulf- livery mug with “6” roundels, and three 1:43 scale LeMans-Winning GT40 variants. The buyer is responsible for shipping, shipping insurance, handling, and transactional fees. PCARMARKET is not responsible for anything lost or damaged during shipping.
