AFX22053, AFX Collector Series 1967 Ford GT40 Mk IV LeMans #3 1/64 Scale Slot Car (Copper) (SWB) (Mega G+)
The Ford GT40 MKIV, born from the tragedy of the J-Car incident in 1966, saw limited production with only ten models, half of which raced and achieved remarkable victories at Sebring and Le Mans. Renowned for its record-breaking performances and meticulous design for endurance and speed, the MKIV stood out as the pinnacle of GT40 innovation, uniquely crafted entirely in the United States. Among these iconic cars, the copper #3 MKIV, built on the J7 chassis, exemplified the GT40's prowess on the track with its distinctive color and Andretti's skillful driving. Despite Andretti's impressive second-place position during the Le Mans race, a pitstop mishap resulting in backward brake pads led to a heartbreaking end to his race, highlighting the unpredictability of motorsport competition.
