When I was a kid I was really big into HO cars and trains. I still have all my car and train track from the '60's and 70's. I've had my favorite cars put away in a closet for years and opened it up last night. I remember lots of cool cars but look what I've had all these years!! Time to get the Zaino out and do some cleaning!!

And, you've got 2 other Ford GTs, both the ill fated J Cars!

You are correct! A total of nine cars were constructed with J-car chassis numbers although six were designated as Mk IVs and one as the G7A. (per wiki)

Went to the commercial tracks back in the 60's with this GT 40, and a few other friends.

Very cool! Some of those old toys are very collectable now.

In the '60s I had an AMT 1/25 GT40 (plastic kit), but it got damaged in a move. I found an unassembled kit on Ebay a few years ago, but haven't put it together.
