Why it matters
The '66 Heritage Edition was the first livery tribute offered on the second-generation Ford GT. It recalls the black GT40 Mk II with silver stripes that Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon drove to victory at Le Mans in 1966, and it was sold for the 2017 model year only.
How rare is it?

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colour productionunits built | 271 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Ford announced the edition in June 2016, on the fiftieth anniversary of the 1966 overall win at Le Mans. It used the same colours as the winning car, Shadow Black with silver stripes, and was available in the 2017 model year only. Ford did not publish how many would be built, saying only that the run would be extremely limited.
One Bonhams lot car was ordered on 29 November 2016 (the printed catalogue gave 2017, corrected in a saleroom notice) and delivered to a dealer in Orange County, California.
