GT40 P1000

Ford GT40 Mk1 - Chassis GT40 P 1000

After the 12 prototypes the production, necessary for homologation, begins. P 1000 was the first chassis built and was used at first as a frame for tailoring the body panels for the first  GT40s. It was finally completed a year later partly with the salvaged parts of the wreck of P 1006.
On loan to the Canadian team Comstock Racing for the 1966 12 hours of Sebring  the car had the front opening of the radiator enlarged. During the race it was totally destroyed in the Bob McLean fatal accident. The wreck has been buried near the site of the accident. There is a rumor that  P 1000, or at least what's left of it, will be unearthed to be rebuilt.
