Roadster movie siting

Post by jake7140 »

Roadster appears in traffic in the intro scene in "Behind the Headlights" a documentary of the Ford GT40. The ads are priceless too, especially the Netscape vs Netzero ads! Available on YouTube.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_GT40

Wiki has much on the GT40 and the many variants.

at the bottom of the article are pics of 4 different exact copies of the gt 40 from different companies showing the mechanicals of the car

Our gov destroyed the Gt40 - X1 Roadster model when it was brought over.
