2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition

6 Miles.

The Blue and Orange livery worn by the cars of the John Wyer racing teams of the 1960s and ‘70s is one of the most widely recognizable in the world. Back to back wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1968 (driven by Pedro Rodriguez and Lucien Bianchi) and 1969 (with Jackie Ickx and Jackie Oliver), contributed mightily to the reputations of both the car and the charming and talented Wyer, who was a force in international racing for decades. In 2006 Ford added a special limited-edition ‘Heritage’ paint scheme to the exclusive GT that recalled that famous JW Automotive/ Gulf Oil livery of the Le Mans-winning GT40, the “Heritage Edition” Ford GT. Finished in Heritage Blue with Epic Orange stripes and White roundels, this “Heritage” Ford GT is one of 343 produced and, with just 5.8 original miles on the odometer, is quite probably the least-driven and most original of them all.

Presented as Lot F151, this special Heritage Edition Ford GT is scheduled to cross the block at the Mecum Monterey Daytime Auction on Friday, August 16 at 3:30 PM.

1971 Chevrolet Corvette ZR2 Convertible

Corvette aficionados take note: this Ontario Orange 1971 Stingray convertible is not only one of just 12 Corvettes built that year with the ZR2 Special Purpose LS6 Engine Package; it is one of only two convertibles and is in fact the very last of Corvette Chief Engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov’s factory-built extra-high-performance specials, an august group that includes the original 1963 Z06, the 1969 ZL1 aluminum block L88 and the ZR1 Special Purpose LT1. As the very last of the so-called Z-cars, it holds an exclusive position as one of the most historically significant cars in General Motors history. It will be offered at the Mecum Kissimmee Auctuion on Saturday, January 26th, 2013 at 4:00PM.
