Spotted - Ford GT40 Prototype Spyder

Started the day this Saturday reviewing the photos of some of the fast Fords I saw last car show season. First one on the list is this fabulous 1965 GT40 prototype Spyder. I read it is 82 pounds lighter than it's hardtop counterparts. Wikipedia has a good article on the GT40' s history for those of you who want to learn more about these fabulous cars. Stay tuned for more photos of others GT40 and Ford GTs at this and other events around the Puget Sound.
