After Race Version Ford GT40 MKIV 7.0L V8 #1 Winner 1967 24h Le Mans in 1:12 scale
This is the After Race Version Ford GT40 MKIV 7.0L V8 #1 Winner 1967 24h Le Mans in 1:12 scale by Top Marques.
The Ford GT40 Mk IV 7.0L V8 #1, entered by Shelby American, captured victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with the legendary American pairing of A. J. Foyt and Dan Gurney. Foyt, one of the most versatile drivers in motorsport history, and Gurney, an accomplished Formula 1, sports car, and IndyCar champion, combined speed and endurance to secure Ford's second consecutive Le Mans triumph. The GT40 Mk IV was unique because it was the only all-American-designed, all-American-built, and all-American-driven car to win Le Mans. Featuring a lightweight honeycomb aluminum chassis, a sleek long-tail aerodynamic body, and a thunderous 7.0-liter (427 cu in) Ford V8 producing well over 500 horsepower, the Mk IV delivered exceptional speed and durability. Its dominant victory also gave motorsport one of its most enduring traditions when Dan Gurney celebrated by spraying champagne on the podium—an act that has since become synonymous with racing victories around the world.
Top Marques produces high-end 1:18 and 1:12 scale model cars that are generally regarded as premium collector pieces. Most of their models are resin replicas, which allows for very sharp body lines, accurate proportions, and high-quality paint finishes that closely replicate the real vehicles. Their larger 1:12 scale models especially showcase extensive detailing, sometimes including removable parts and carefully reproduced engines, while many of their 1:18 models are sealed display pieces designed primarily for visual accuracy rather than opening features. Produced in limited editions, Top Marques models are often sought after by collectors for their craftsmanship, rarity, and focus on historically significant racing and exotic cars.
