"Ford vs Ferrari" Barn Find GT40: Hidden 43 Years & All Original | Barn Find Hunter
Embed
- Published on Jun 21, 2025
- The granddaddy of all barn finds! A 1966 Ford GT40 that had been stashed in a barn since 1982 now sees the light of day. In total, only 100 GT40s were made-about 30 were built specifically for the track, while the rest were made for the road. Many of the road cars were later converted into track cars, so finding an all-original road car with all its original parts is extremely rare! Follow along as Tom and the new owner, Chad, walk around and inspect this legendary time capsule.

Big fan, life is too short. Im 43 and just hitting my stride. Spend your whole life working,stressing, building a home ,car collection,things u love and enjoy and hopefully you have someone to pass it to that loves it too. It just not enough time. Enjoy the time u do have and live in the moment
And drive your cars, don't keep them as garage queens.
Its all downhill after you turn 53 yrs & you're only halfway there
@@Jimthechevywheelman- you can drive all you want, then just jack up the rear end & run it in reverse to eliminate the miles you enjoyed. it’s best in an all-glass garage with your pal Cameron & hot GF Sloane.
Enjoy the time u do have and live in the moment... why I'm going to be racing cars soon.
If you worry about time,you are not enjoying the moment.
As a 17 year old apprentice in the Royal Air Force, a bunch of us booked ourselves onto a coach tour to the 1966 Le Mans 24 Hour race. I wasn't a motor racing fan, I had never heard of the GT40 and had never been out of the country before but I wanted a small adventure while I was still young. I have been a GT40 fan ever since that epic victory and although my subsequent motor competition adventures took me through many years of rallying, I always stayed a Ford guy; Ford Anglia with a 1600cc full-race motor and then a Corsair GT motor for use on the road rallies, a Ford Escort Mexico which blew its engine and was replaced by a Lotus 1600cc Big Valve motor from an Elan SE complete with Sprint cams. Ah, those were the days...Brian
Over here 🇺🇸, we go nuts when we spot an Escort Mk1 or Mk2, cars we never got.
Oh man.. I would have loved to have been there. I was 16 at the time though and still in high school, but even then I loved cars and to my mind these were the best GTs Ford built.
That has to be the GT40 I saw at the Glen when I was a kid, It was in the spectator parking, just sitting there like it was an ordinary car. I was freaking out over it. This brings back great memories.
Best looking mur - CAR EVER 🎉 ..
That's a British car, Lola Mk6.
I had the BIGGEST smile when Tom said "Bill Wonder"! Bill was a friend of mine as he lived in Montgomery County PA for many years till his passing. I got to know him as he brought out his GT40, Chassis 103 to local events. The same car that won the first race for any GT40 and also driven by Ken Miles in said race. Later found out Bill knew my grandfather (on my dad's side) and told me stories as my GF passed well before I was born. Bill was so kind and his standing rule was, if the blinds on his door to his garage were up, come on in. ..if they were down, come back another day. He was happy to talk cars and share what he had in his garage.
I had worked at a Ford dealership selling cars from the age of 20 (1997) to 2020. But in 2004 we found out we won the allocation lottery and go one of the first 200 built Ford GTs. I wanted to get a photo of Bill's GT40 and our GT together but he sold the car (Symbolic Motors met his non-negotiable asking price). The car now resides in the Shelby Museum in Boulder Colorado. I miss talking to Bill and seeing his amazing collection of cars, with a few being Lynn St. James IMSA 7-Eleven car, and the ex-Didier Theys Lista Ferrari 333SP.
I have a few regrets in my life and one of them, was NOT sitting in GT 103 when Bill asked if I wanted to 🤦🏻♂️😞😭😢. Having my dad take me over to see his collection in November of 2003, while I was out of work recovering from a liver transplant (at 27), Bill always asked how I was feeling as he knew I was dealing with a failing liver. But once I got my transplant, and got to see his cars, he said "go sit in it" but I was 3 to 4 weeks post op and about 90 staples holding my whole abdominal wall together, so getting in (and ultimately getting out) of the GT40 would have been "difficult" to say the least. But now, looking back, it would have been SO WORTH IT!
RIP Bill! It was so lucky to call you my friend. 🙏🙏
WOW thank you for sharing your personal story!!! It touches hearts, especially after watching the context of this video…May you find healing, love, and peace in Jesus, brother 🙏
You write like an old man 06V, but you are still very young and should have another good 40 years ahead of you. I started my best and most fun career at the age of fifty and have had some great decades since then and still now, with lots of great car and biker friends. Live long and prosper 🖖
A local guy was selling a GT40 fibreglass body and steel frame with Olds Toronado 455" V8 FWD setup moved to rear and Mustang II front suspension. The frame wasn't really designed right and I would have had to modify it and put the car together and I just didn't have the time for that project at that time but would have loved to have had it.
@@buzzwaldron6195The GT40 owners club in the U.K. is surprisingly strong it seems but the majority that I have inspected personally are very nice replicas and tribute cars. Beautiful, nevertheless.
@@philtucker1224 - Thank you, nice to hear from UK...
As a child growing up in the 60's I wrote to Ford in the uk after seeing a GT40 in a motorsport magazine. They were so kind to send me a lot of large format HD photographs from pro publicity shoots. These pics occupied key spots on my bedroom wall until I left the family home in '68. They are still in my souvenirs somewhere. This brought it all back. Thank you! One of the most beautiful cars ever created.
Definitely; a truly erotic design all round and WHAT a race pedigree, so not just a looker at all.
Ford doesn't own the name "GT40", the later versions they made were called just Ford GT...
The GT40 really is one of those timeless designs that looks as amazing today as the day it was built 60 years ago. 👍
Best looking race car ever made. It just seems to look at you and say, "if you race me you will lose". Beauty and muscle in one design.
That's a Lola Mk6.
You had to be there to get just what a feat Ford pulled off. It really was a perfect storm, the Ford victories, the radical designs--- Chaparral by Jim Hall and the iconic first wing attached to a race car and the absolute pinnacle ----the 917 Porsche! We were in the golden age of motor sports!!!
Thanks for this. I've been sick as a dog for 2 weeks and this segment made my smile for the first time in a long while. For 20 beautiful minutes I didn't even feel sick. Many, many thanks from Canada.
I'm old enough to remember the Le Mans races in the 60s, one of my first slot cars was a Ford GT 40. I honestly was unaware these were an actual car one could buy and drive on American roads. The race versions changed history, what a great time for auto racing! Thanks for the memories!
awesome comment sir
I read about the races, being TV sports didn't cover much. But, I too had slot & HO cars, with the GT 40 & the Lola GT being my favorites, lol! A couple of hobby shops in town had tracks set up, that we could use & race. The one had a high bank slot car that was 12 lanes wide & the straightaways were 15-20' long... (Hadn't thought about those for years!). There were even teams, & classes, depending on how much modifying you did. Thanx !
@@Derf1313 Great times, that's where my paper route money went. You were in slot car heaven- our track only had 8 lanes and no banking, did your track allow nerfing? No HO for me: 1/24 and 1/32!
That garage is heaven for Ford fans, good that it went to a Ford collector, great story.
I'd love to see it back in its original green 😊
What a beautiful machine. Must have been just out of this world 60 years ago, even today it's just stunning. What a great story.
Yeah; with the big block ?!!!!!. An absolute missile !!!!!!
Tom, you mentioned the name Bill Wonder during your conversation in this video. Mr. Wonder lived in the same town as me in PA and I had the incredible pleasure to spend some time with him. He bought GT40 #103 in 1966 I believe and kept it long after he stopped racing it in the '70's. It saw plenty of street time and he would actually take it to our local Walmart car show at times. He told me he would often overhear people say, "why would you put such a terrible paint job on a nice kit car like that"! If they only knew. He would let me sit in the car, and now I think back on how cool it was to sit in the same seat as Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby. He once said to me "I was friends with Carrol Shelby before he was Carrol Shelby" and told me stories on how Shelby really wanted the aluminum 215 Buick as the AC Cobra engine, but GM wouldn't sell him the engines. What a treat to see another GT40 in someone's garage. You have to wonder if there are any more. Great video!!
@@classicmusclecarexhaust1988 lol who gives AFK ya Boomer 😂
@@chimpo131 you're a little hard of thinking huh?
That 215 Buick would have been perfect in the DeLorean.
I Can understand what that man was going thru, last Sept at age 67, recently retired i was ready to get after the Truck and Cars that i have in my barn, had eveything thing bought to finish them, then life thru me a curveball, had a stroke, Left side of me still messed up, but slowly better, in my case, hell or high water i will be back in my barn soon to work on and hopefully finish them.
My mom had a stroke. I took her to a Hyperbaric Chamber and in just 2 visits she was back to normal. Go find yourself a clinic that has a Hyperbaric Chamber.
Best of luck to you sir, wishing you a speedy recovery!
Someday never comes. -John Fogerty
I empathize. I had a seizure and stroke in 2021. I was 53. Getting old isn’t for wussies. Wish you the best.
@@brianeaglebarger150 And I am telling you to get yourself into a Hyperbaric chamber, and get healed up. They have found that during a stroke the part of your brain that is being affected effectively goes into hibernation, and that when you go into a Hyperbaric Chamber and get your body super oxygenated your brain wakes back up. This has been proven by PET scans on patients with before and after scans.
I think this is one of my favorite episodes. Great find.
I may have a find, my friend has car aluminum body, and a overhead cam V8 that says,Gurney-Westlake on the cam covers. I don't remember much else. Watching these videos has jogged my memory and has peaked my interest in. Older race cars. He moved near Frankenmuth Michigan, I've been there years ago. I'm going to go there this summer, I'll let you know.
there were only 2 made with aluminium bodies (alan mann racing) and none were made with originally with an overhead cam engine so i think it must be a replica with an aluminium chassi such as an RCR
@jase6370 The first time I saw this car was 83. He was doing bodywork. I have some pictures of it sitting in the background I've been looking for them. I think it was front engine red. It had a shape similar to a DB6. I didn't have interest in it at that time. I was building Harley's and 67-69 big block Camaros. Around 92 he said that the owner had passed away and he didn't know how to get in touch with the family.
@@sporty196071 Could be a Peerless, from the UK.
Please give us the update when you go.
Mid 70's I was helping my father do some plumbing for a family friend, small bathroom renovation. Job was worth about $500 at the time. He asked my dad if he'd rather barter for the car in the garage he hadn't raced it in years but was still in pretty good shape...
1968 Shelby GT-500... my father said "thanks, I'll take the cash"... I was 8 or 9 years old at the time, a few days later, my father showed up with my first motorcycle, a pretty beat up 1971 Yamaha JT-1, he bought that bike with some of the $500 he got.
50(ish) years later, I'm still riding, sure would have been nice to have that car, but motorcycling turned out to be the bond that became the center of our lives til the day he died... But damn that car was nice
Your dad sounds like he was a helluva good guy, and I think that from what you said, he made the best choice for YOU at the time. IMO, cherish it.
As an aging car guy, mortality has its way of dictating the trajectory of our dreams.
All the bits to put this time capsule back to the day it was first assembled. Imagine that!
The gentleman who had the cars in the barn and unfortunately passed away was a true auto connoisseur. Many people talk about owing nice cars but never go the extra mile to actually owning any. A rare person, indeed. The GT40 is absolutley a pinnacle automobile.
That is the best barn find ever and my absolute dream car. Congrats and I'd love to see more on it as it comes back to life!
JOE STIMOLA! Joe told me about this car but I never thought I would see it on RUclips! Awesome time capsule.
Stunning, absolutely phenomenal find, Tom, WOW! What an incredible, historic car!
And I thought the Cobra video from a couple weeks ago was a home run! This is great stuff! Thank you Tom!
Ford GT40... my #1 lust-after car. Because it's the most beautiful car ever built. And it's a Ford. Thanks for sharing the story of this rare find.
It's a Lola Mk6. Ford bought then from the Brits and swapped motors and did some body mods.
@@shepleonard8695 yep credit where credit is due. The brits desined it and then ford made it into a masterpiece.
If I'm ever really lucky i can settle for a kit car version
Ultimate treasure hunt barn find. Good job Tom and your mechanic, too.
So cool to see you geeking out over the parts and paperwork. Educational for those of us on the other end of the camera
Hell of a find.
preservation and conservation is the way to go with such cars. very very cool.
@@DwainDwight agree on conservation - but it could be cleaned and polished without serious detriment - make it as tidy as can be without replacing finish or parts, other than consumables
Or just drive it like an old car!
Great story! Really enjoy the "archeology" of uncovering the history of a car. Glad that you were the one to find this car and that it has ended up with a new proper steward for the next chapter of its history. I appreciate your passion for special automobiles.

Love this one! You can always make it pretty again. I'd love to see it running and original!
Great GT 40! Used to eat at Wetsons all the time as a kid....Did a lot of business with Sayville Ford when I worked for Manheim Auctions... Thanks for posting Tom!
I grew up in Holbrook, got married in Patchogue, had a repair shop in Blue Point and went to Seton Hall High School. Oh, and worked at Sayville Ford. Know the area like the back of my hand.
Seeing that MG TC rattled my memories. In '70 I bought a '52 MG TD with 38,000 mi on it. run like it should. In the early '80's while you were as a salesman at that dealership I was a Master Goodwrench at Henna Chevy in Austin. In '84 Andy Granatelli came there and invited me to work at my choice of 6 different Nascar crews. Andy's invite was enough to claim myself as a Master G, but GM had also asked me 4 times to be a troubleshooter. Been sub'd so long I don't remember when I did it... Great video, Greater Car!!!
wish I was 25 years younger really miss wrenching on my mustangs, cougars, Z-28, nova, and numerous other cars I had. The cars on this show are a dream for me best car show on the web.
GT-40 are the prettiest cars ever made in my opinion. A guy I went to church with when I was about 12 years old had one that had sliding side windows.. It may have been a knock off but I don't think so because it was before there were many if any knockoffs. I'm not exactly sure of the year but I know it was before 1972 because that's when I went off to college. Keep the good stuff coming.
This was the car me and my pals drew in study hall back in the 1970's, the first slot car we grabbed from the box, the one we built scale models and painted red over and over! The GT-40 seemed almost more a 1960's style spacecraft than a car, and we all dreamed of owning one for real someday.
That this fellow gets to own one for real, makes it no less interesting to inspect at all! If I liquidated every asset I had, in this life and the next, I'm pretty sure I could actually own one myself (whether it'd be a running example or not, I'm not so sure about!). But thanks to OP and this GT40 owner, for letting us drool over his sexy beast for a minute, from a long-gone era!
It was my favorite Matchbox too. One of the most beautiful cars ever made.
So cool for Tom to have found the Holy Grail. Truly the GOAT!
Awesome car. I’d do a sympathetic resto to get it on the road. You should do an episode on that sign collection.
My goodness, what a piece of history! I know there are other original GT-40's in "Used Condition" (which means they are driven some and have paint chips etc...), but this car is fantastic! I would say this car is the new Benchmark.
Wow that blew me away ,ten points you kept that about as real as it gets brother,loves it
Gee if its not the best barn find ever it would have to be in the top 5 for sure! Great story great man cave great presentation!!👍👍👍
There was a retired Ford executive that lived in Homecroft IN. 40+ years ago he had a GT-40. My friends dad told me you could hear it when he started it!
Great find. Good new owner. Would love to see an update on this GT40 in the future...like when is running again 😊
Great find .. the Ford GT40 has ever been my fav American sports car :)
The Mark I, Mark II, and Mark III models were built in the UK based on a modified British Lola chassis just as the Cobra was based on a British AC chassis. So not entirely American, more a winning combination of British lightweight handling with American V8 muscle.
@@MichaelJones-mk5vq 100% accurate.
It's so interesting to see the history of these types of cars. Thanks for sharing.
This is a real find the legend FORD GT40 :)
I remember when I was in High School, we drove up to Mass. to see an old friend of my mothers. My dad and her husband walked over to an old dairy barn to see some cars stored in the basement. 1 was a hot rod, 1 was an early 50's Ford, and under a big tarp was a Deusenberg. It was in the barn when they bought it; being stored for a friend of the prior owner of the farm. Wilbraham, Mass I believe.
Thanks Tom. Love your segments. Can't wait to watch when you come out with new one. Also love the gentleman with the garage of Fords. Made me smile.
I had no idea any of these were left that weren't fully restored or in a massive collection. Finding one rotting in a barn is truly unrepeatable nowadays.
Awesome video… RIP to the previous owners.
Loved the video (love the stories). Glad you were able to put this episode together.
love when these cars come with a story
R. I. P. Dear car holder. Health first, everything else supporting for health
What amazing find !! GT40 is one of the kind find !
That is THE ultimate barn find. SO Beautiful.
❤I've been hooked on this show for a long time, it surprises me more and more every time, I don't know where Tom finds them all.
I have been in love with the GT40 since I was five years-old. I'm old now, and it's still my first love.
No waaaay! you have to be kidding me. Classic case of you know a guy that knows a guy that knows a guy. For a FORD freak, this amazing.
What an awesome episode! The relationships you have developed through hunting is incredible!! It’s always fun to watch these episodes and hear the stories of these amazing machines. Thank you for your dedication to automotive hunting, Tom!
I'm from Nassau County Long Island and remember the old Wetsons hamburger restaurants in the early 1970s. Clearly they did well... they lived in Glen Cove!
There is a right hand drive 289 GT40 in a collection in Australia unrestored (I think) and the story is that the only thing that differentiate's it from a race car is the fitment of a clock in the dash. I was lucky enough to hear it running on one of their open days,my absolute dream engine if ever given the opportunity to build a motor. Thankfully the car in the video went to someone who will do right by it. Thankfully someone like Richard Rawlings didn't get hold of it.
It's amazing that Ford actually sold them as road cars.
I didn't know that part of the story, either.
They had to. They had to build a certain amount of road cars to race because it was all a production racing series (and still is)
The GT40 Mk111 was built specifically as a road car and has different front and rear ends as well as hinged door glass. But I think most people preferred the look of the Mk1 so they ended up build road legal versions of that as well.
It's called homologation.
My dad bought the very first road GT produced by Shelby American. Fun fact: it was delivered by none other than Sir Jackie Stewart himself, who was racing for Shelby’s team at the time. It recently crossed the line at Mecum and now has a new owner.
What a find and I’m 3 days older than those brake parts 😂😂
Maybe you'll know the answer to this, was there two February 16ths in 1965?
I was just thinking the same, except I'm 16 days older. (31/1/65). :)
Came here to say the same thing.. 12 days older ;-)
Gt40 has a kind of timeless beauty to it
These cars often would not even exist if there was no people who keep hold of cars for life . How many cars do you wish you still had , maybe sold , scrapped , crashed or blown up . But not kept . They choose a car for life and create the Barn Find culture we all love :) What is not to love about that .
Simply just a beautiful vehicle. Also, you’d never get me out of that building. Awesome man cave.
What a great story, and love his parts stash 🥳
Thanks for sharing this with us. As a fellow automobile enthusiast, at 37 years old, I have only ever seen maybe 2 Ford G.T's in the wild. It's definitely a very neat piece of auto history.
that was awesome thanks TC! You and Hagerty are the best for barn gold on RUclips!
Great film , but a few corrections, the car was not a mix of Fibreglass and aluminium, but Fibreglass and Steel. The steel parts being the centre roof section and the monocoque tub , both made by Abbey Panels of Coventry Uk. Also it was the seat covers (not the straps) that were made from parachute silk, although this one having leather doesnt have these.
I would restore it back to how it left the factory in Slough in 66 in it's original paint but using as many original parts as possible.
I would be very surprised if the steel monocoque does not harbour rust damage from road use in New-York 60 years ago.
Love this channel!! Always surprised to see what the next show will have!
This MK1 road car, made in England was one of a small number air freighted to the US for promotional use at various Ford dealerships.
Ford used the original color of that car frequently in the mid 1960s. My mom & dad had a 1966 Ford LTD 4 door hardtop when I was a teen. That's a beautiful light metallic green.
That’s a wonderful story, from the very beginning and to the very end. Thanks for sharing that and for giving some valuable insights.
What a story! I love barnfind hunter ! Fantastic story telling
Very cool story and car Tkx Tom. Great to see the paperwork saved. I have owned well over 100 cars. I have sold several all original cars with every single paper. What is sad is dealers get them and throw everything away. I sold my 1 off rare RUF BTR C4 with boxes of spares and every single piece of paper and Sotheby's RM dumped most of it and redacted the rest. I sold a wonderful 59 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I with every paper from the original order forms, all communications etc. and when a dealer ended up with it he threw it all away including a trunk full of rare spares. I recently sold my all original 72 Pantera L and the new buyer pulled the seats, changed the engine changed the seat belts and more and it was perfect and needed nothing! It will never be all original again. Congratulations on the find and the save!
A M A Z I N G !!!!!!! Thanks you for all your hard work and dedication !!!!
I would fix the mechanicals, mend the broken seats and clean it, treat the leather interior. Sympathetic, put it back to period correct as possible. Truly a survivor.
What an amazing car!!!
With a history!!
So cool!!!
The Cobra Panthera GT was a fancy sports car. Sorry about Tom and his wife’s passing. What a guy 💕
Love the story about that gt40 wow what a car...the history behind it is amazing thanks for this episode hats off to you for showing that car super rare to find in that condition now wow 👌
I feel like there will be a series with this car.... great episode!
GT40 because the european GT regulations of the time restricted roof height to a minimum of 1000 mm, 39.6 inches.
There is a reason why all those spare parts are British, I know you guys like to think of the GT40 as the ultimate American sports car but they were designed and built at the Ford Advanced Vehicles plant in Slough, England.
Yet again no mention of Eric Broadley and the Lola Mk6 GT which was the basis for the GT40. FAV allowed Denis Jenkinson to road test a road going GT 40
and the this appeared in the December edition of Motor Sport 1966.
AND HOLMAN-MOODY BOUGHT OUT THAT COMPANY. THEY HAVE EVERYTHING FROM THEM IN THEIR SHOP NOW.ALL THE JIGS AND MACHINERY USED TO BUILD THEM. THEY EVEN RECIEVED EXTRA BODY PANELS THAT WERE NEVER USED.
@@alistaircrooks2472 Go watch the Lola Mk6 episode on Jay Leno's Garage. They talk about exactly this.
And Superformance (made in South Africa) have the chassis continuation numbers and the GT40 trading patent...
Damn hardly a minute in and already got a tear in my eye
Great video content....Good to see Tom ....It's been a while..
Cars have never disappointed me. People r a different story ❤ cars
Dream's!
What a phenomenal find & purchase 👍🏽👍🏽
A great follow up episode, thank you. It looks like the GT has a great home now.
Tom, as always, a great episode of Barn Find Hunters. Thanks for doing what you do.
Omg theirs gold ,amazin glad the care taker gonna take his time about what the future gonna be with it..tks Tom for sharing again
All i can say is WOW. Just magnificent. What a great find Tom. Cheers!!
god bless the memory of this dear couple.
What an awesome timeless car design 👍👍👍👍👍
I just cannot believe my luck to have made friends with a couple of amazing guys that had a shop that restored and did race prep for Tom Mittler. It gave me the chance to see some cars that most never do.
TC mentions a Cunningham, Tom Mittler had one and vintage raced it. The friends I made race prepped and shipped that car to England for him to "play" with. Thank you Alec Greaves and Bill Farr!
Thank you for walking us through your discovery and the history of that masterpiece! I’m very partial to GM but I consider the GT40 the most beautiful car built.
Many times we are just the caretakers of nice cars, excellent watches and great guitars. I’m doing my best to enjoy it all. Life is short
Absolutely amazing, thank you Tom !
Barn Finder is the real deal, a truly awesome platform.
I would go back to that green 💚 in a heartbeat.
Love the Ford GT40 no matter what the condition
Crazy to think that there are still cars like this squirrled away. So glad it was located by a proper caretaker and that it will now be enjoyed as it should.
Some people have way to much money! But I'm glad they have a car hobby to spend it on! Lol Unbelievable GT40!
