Thought the GT40 story began and ended with Matt Damon grinning in Le Mans 66? Not so. It took two painful years for the GT40 to conquer the Prancing Horses at La Sarthe, but Ford knew Ferrari’s development technicians would come roaring back. So for ’67 it threw away everything except the 7.0-litre V8, gearbox and some suspension and brake bits, and wrapped it up in the MkIV streamliner.
