Wow,a Ford with a tire problem.
That first picture isn't a GT40
Type C.
We told 'em.
They just needed it done.
Calmaté Señor.
Bummer
Bald tyres eh? Like really slick? Racing slick?
Sounds like an ad: "If you think you have a problem, just buy a Ford. Ford, and all other problems are gone."
Best story teller along side Ed
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
That's not a happy ending. It only got worse lol
Who spends time to know shit like this
damn all i know about the mark 2 is how fucking horrible it is
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.
Ford sux!!! 💪🔪🔪🔪
But the GT– 40 was the Ferrari killer 🥰
"It's okay, they won't last…" 🤣 Damn Fords.
Yeap Thats why I hate ford.. crappy sheeity unreliable cars… if cosworth didnt partner with them… they would have been doomed
They don’t bring over thousands of tires. This guy is full of crap and a complete storyteller.
If I'm not wrong, it was that te transmission wasn't prepared for the engine's torque
TLking about GT40s and showing a Ferrari.
THE FORD THAT I WANT IS THE AC COBRA WITH A 429
Great story!
I hate you VINwiki. You always hook me into watching the full video with these accursed shorts.
see shit back then and now
Shows pictures of a Ferrari 😂
What a pointless story.
I remember when Firestone and ford had their feud in 99. What a mess. Explorers rolling over because of lowering the tire pressure.😮
Fkd On Race Day
This, from an ardent Bingo Enthusiast.
FORD = F ixed O r R epaired D aily
Typical Ford 😂
That moment when you're saved because the transmissions are Italian garbage
Thousands ? Suprised if they had more than 50 sets in total
The Ferrari strategy Origins 🏎
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…"
Cheap
Heap
Every
Valve
Rusty
Oil
Leaks
Every
Time
Don't worry about it. It's a Ford so we know it won't last the night🤣👌
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.
I can attest to this, Goodyear tires don’t last very long. If you’re lucky, you get a good year out of them.
Yeah, but I think they won about what three times four at lamans Back in the early 70s sponsor by golf
Nice hat hack lol
Are they fords or geezer 250 lm??
It's a great looking car just needs a Japanese engine 😂😂
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
They did the same with the Explorer
