1:18 Scale 1968 Mercury GT40 MKII Diecast Model

When is a Ford GT40 not a Ford GT40? When it's a Mercury! In the midst of Ford's "Total Performance" racing dominance in the 1960s—highlighted by the legendary GT40's 1-2-3 finish at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966—Ford Motor Company's Lincoln-Mercury Division wanted a share of the spotlight to help promote its new Mercury Cougar. Mercury GT40 race cars—P/1016 and P/1047—were more than just showpieces. Given MK IIB upgrades that included roll cage, aluminum instrument panel, lighter body sections, and fire suppression, they competed in the 24 Hours of Daytona with some big-name drivers at the wheel, like #4 drivers Mark Donohue and Peter Revson. This 1:18 Scale 1968 Mercury GT40 MKII diecast model is extremely detailed with a working hood, trunk, doors, and other vehicle-accurate features, and is a must-have addition to any avid race fans collection.
