1. See the full story of Le Mans 1965 – https://youtu.be/iR8FP1_pjn0

2. Wow,a Ford with a tire problem.

3. That first picture isn't a GT40

4. Type C.

   We told 'em.
   They just needed it done.

   Calmaté Señor.

5. Bummer

6. Bald tyres eh? Like really slick? Racing slick?

7. Sounds like an ad: "If you think you have a problem, just buy a Ford. Ford, and all other problems are gone."

8. Best story teller along side Ed

9. If only general motors made the cheetah and raced it, they only made a couple for testing, the numbers were impressive but they didn't want to compete with Ferrari, totally different customers, Ford on the other hand thought they had something to prove, what a waste, only thing left is some good stories

10. That's not a happy ending. It only got worse lol

11. Who spends time to know shit like this

12. damn all i know about the mark 2 is how fucking horrible it is

13. What would you expect form a first year car? What was the time line Shelby was given to get them on the track? What were the limitations put on him to get them on the tracks? The fact the next year they took it away from Ferrari….those guys knew what they were doing with those cars.

14. Ford sux!!! 💪🔪🔪🔪

15. But the GT– 40 was the Ferrari killer 🥰

16. "It's okay, they won't last…" 🤣 Damn Fords.

17. Yeap Thats why I hate ford.. crappy sheeity unreliable cars… if cosworth didnt partner with them… they would have been doomed

18. They don’t bring over thousands of tires. This guy is full of crap and a complete storyteller.

19. If I'm not wrong, it was that te transmission wasn't prepared for the engine's torque

20. TLking about GT40s and showing a Ferrari.

21. THE FORD THAT I WANT IS THE AC COBRA WITH A 429

22. Great story!

23. I hate you VINwiki. You always hook me into watching the full video with these accursed shorts.

24. see shit back then and now

25. Shows pictures of a Ferrari 😂

26. What a pointless story.

27. I remember when Firestone and ford had their feud in 99. What a mess. Explorers rolling over because of lowering the tire pressure.😮

28. Fkd On Race Day

29. This, from an ardent Bingo Enthusiast.

30. FORD = F ixed O r R epaired D aily

31. Typical Ford 😂

32. That moment when you're saved because the transmissions are Italian garbage

33. Thousands ? Suprised if they had more than 50 sets in total

34. The Ferrari strategy Origins 🏎

35. I'm not surprised they had problems with the tyres if they'd used "molds" to make them!

    What do expect if you make endurance racing tyres out of fungi?

    They should have stuck with using moulds all along.

    That's the problem with Americans and their simplified spellings of words. "Use molds? Oh…I thought you meant make the tyres out that blue stuff on those old pieces of bread in the kitchen…"

36. Cheap
    Heap
    Every
    Valve
    Rusty
    Oil
    Leaks
    Every
    Time

37. Don't worry about it. It's a Ford so we know it won't last the night🤣👌

38. I've always been in love with the engines that came in the GT40s. It was the highly valued 427 with the special dual overhead cam heads. They're collectors items now for several decades and virtually priceless.

39. I can attest to this, Goodyear tires don’t last very long. If you’re lucky, you get a good year out of them.

40. Yeah, but I think they won about what three times four at lamans Back in the early 70s sponsor by golf

41. Nice hat hack lol

42. Are they fords or geezer 250 lm??

43. It's a great looking car just needs a Japanese engine 😂😂

44. They brought brickyard tires to an endurance race? Jesus. Probably a good thing all the transmissions grenaded that year, otherwise someone might have died from a blowout

45. They did the same with the Explorer
