Default Book showing some original GT40s

Those searching for books on the Ford GT40s of old
might want to look at the ad for a book entitled:


Ford GT40 and the New Ford GT by Al Axelrod, Brian Winer and Wallace Wyss
224 pg.
hardbound, vertical format
32 pages color
over 100 b & w pictures
one of the co-authors, Brian Winer, owns a Safir Mk. V which was a continuation
car sanctioned by Ford (when they accidentally sold Safir the name "GT40")
The book is a limited edition, not available from MBI or at chain bookstores but is usually found on eBay every weekend starting at about $59.95

One of the rare pictures in the book shows Ken Miles in a GT40 J-car testing at Riverside, probably in the same test session where he had a fatal crash.
Other photos show the '64 needle nose version of which Ford never kept a sample of.
And there's a GT40 targa in there like the one Dean Jeffries has for sale.Half the book is devoted to the original GTs and half to the new one.
