The infamous feud between Henry Ford and Enzo Ferrari got tremendous notoriety when Ford manufactured the famous 1-2-3 photo op win at the 1966 Le Mans race. OF course in the US, beating Ferrari at its own game with the GT40 Mklls was celebrated with nationalistic fervor. What got less attention was the following year at Daytona when two of these 330P4s and a 412P4 had their 1-2-3 photo op win. Take that, Henry!!! Only 4 P4s were made in spyder and berlinetta form and today only one, a spyder, still exists. For me, this 330P4 and its subsequent Variants of the late '60s and early '70s were such sexy designs. It was so cool to watch those CGI races in the "Ford vs Ferrari" movie.

I think you mean the 24 Hours of Daytona here, @rich-sufficool. Ford, as you know, won with the GT40 MkIV in 1967.
Fantastic model. Wish I'd bought one or that somebody else would release a less expensive version. I'd love to have one, especially after seeing the movie.
