Description
I've had this Matchbox Ford GT since I was a very young lad. Number 6 has won more races than I care to remember. It's been involved in some horrific crashes and yet managed to survive. It's been lost and then found. It's been the focus of racing imagination for younger brothers, cousins, school friends, children of friends and many others. It has endured many years in a dark shoebox awaiting the next enthusiastic race car driver to set it free once again. Sure, she's old, and needs a bit of cosmetic help....but, she's still the fastest one on the track.Related content

I have a couple of these, too bad most of them I see are missing their tires.

That seems to be the fate of many. Played with until the tires wore off.......

I started collecting Hot Wheels not long ago and I have about 4 GT-40s. They're wonderful toys! So jealous of lil kids who can actually play with them ;___;

great these matchbox'es ! And they have so much to tell and a lot of history in this condition. ok , a mint boxed one is worth more, but does not have so much history as this one !
