Exoto Find | Exoto Product No. RLG18042 Ford GT40 MKII Dan Gurney | Jerry Grant | Sebring 1966

Exoto Find Exoto Product No. RLG18042 Ford GT40 MKII Dan Gurney Jerry Grant Sebring 1966

We just found three (3) Exoto No. RLG 18042 Ford GT 40 MK II Driven By Dan Gurney and Jerry Grant Sebring 12 Hours of Endurance 1966

We just came across three (3) Exoto No. RLG18042 from a private collector. These items are new, but are out of the box - with no box. They are authentic.
This item is $598 at Exoto. We can offer these almost retired Exoto RLG18042 Ford GT 40 MK II Driven By Dan Gurney and Jerry Grant in the 1966 Sebring 12 Hours of Endurance (my home town) for $250.

This Exoto No RLG18042 is a fine diecast scale model of the official factory 'hare' driven by Dan Gurney and Jerry Grant to drive the Chaparrals and Ferraris to their breaking point.

Dan Gurney convincingly upheld team orders and set the pace for both practice and qualifying. Qualifying in a record time of 2:54:9 with the Shelby American Ford GT40 MKII.

Sprinting to their cars at the start of the 1966 Sebring 12 Hours of Endurance, each driver had to reach his car, buckle in, then start the engine. Then, and only then, did they sprint out of their starting space.

Though Gurney got to his car quickly, he got away slowly. Losing several places.

Anyone who has witnessed a Le Mans type start knows that bringing one of these fire breathing beasts to life is exhilarating, but not always successful. Many a Sebring has been lost at the start.

Fortunately, Gurney was quickly able to regain the lead. While leading, Gurney and Grant would lap the old Sebring circuit at 2:59:0 to 3 minutes flat.

The pair only gave up the lead during pit stops.

During these trying economic times brought on by the new administrations attempt to destroy the American Way of Life and turn us into a socialist society, there is a bright spot.

Millions of Americans have lost their jobs. Their retirement accounts have dwindled to nothing (me included. After 30 years of working and saving, my retirement fund disappeared this year. So I'm starting over at the age of 48.)

Because of the failure of the economic system, many collectors have also fallen on hard times. Every day that we're open at the Market of Marion, we hear tales of woe from our customer's.

Even though each story is tough to listen to, the bright spot is that we've been able to open up a new market by allowing collector's to place their cars on consignment.

In 1965, Chevrolet released upon the world, the Chevelle Malibu RPO (Retail Production Option) code Z16. This Lane 505 1965 Chevelle Z16 Tuxedo Black Scale Diecast Model is an exact replica of this monster. The 1965 Malibu SS 396 was an impressive showcase of Chevrolet's engineering ability, however with a steep sticker price.. With the Z16 package, the 396ci engine produced 375hp and a beefed up drivetrain.

The Chevell option list RPO Z16 increased the base sticker price by more than half.

Also, included with this package were front and rear sway bars, power brakes, heavy duty cooling and a tachometer.

The RPO Z16 package, as represented by this Lane 505 1965 Chevelle Z16 Tuxedo Black, also came with a AM/FM Multiplex Stereo system, heavy duty wheels, gold line tires and simulated mag wheel hub caps.

The 1965 Chevelle Malibu Z16 was a very special version of the Chevrolet Chevelle. Lane has reproduced this sleeper car of the mid 60's in Exact Detail. This Lane 505 1965 Chevelle Z16 Tuxedo Black is an exceptional model in detail and is now availabe at Marks Diecast at the Market of Marion.

Marks Diecast | Father's Race Cars

Marks Diecast Father's Race Cars

Just in case any visitors were wondering, the link below is to some pic's that I located of my Father's Racing Cars.

http://www.racingsportscars.com/driver/photo/Bob-Gray-USA.html

The first pic is my Father's 1964 Corvette Stingray Convertible SCCA BP Racing Car. The others are of our FIA / IMSA GTO Corvette C3 Racing Corvette. 454 C.I.

Interesting stuff. Yes I'm passionate about Corvette Racing Cars. The Sting Ray was in my 'home' garage from 1964 (when purchased new) until 1971 (when it was sold).

No other kid on the block had a Sting Ray that sounded like this one.

Driver: Robert 'Bob' Milo Gray
Mechanic: Dave Sweet

Hope that you enjoy.
