The 2018 Ford GT ’67 Heritage Edition will be on display at the 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
Featuring unique exterior and interior color themes as well as an exclusive finish, the Ford GT ’67 Heritage Edition will be available in limited quantities for the 2018 model year. The exterior boasts a glossy Race Red paint finish, contrasted by white stripes and exposed carbon fiber. And just like the 1967 Le Mans-winning GT40 Mark IV race car, the Heritage Edition has Frozen White number-1 hood and door graphics. The 20-inch one-piece, forged aluminum wheels are finished in silver satin clearcoat with black lug nuts. Completing the aesthetics are red calipers and silver rearview mirror caps.
Climbing into the cabin, there’s new leather trimming for the carbon fiber seats, with red accent stitching, that’s also found on the steering wheel. Also red is the seat belt webbing, while the paddle shifters are anodized gray. Finer touches include satin dark stainless appliqués used on the instrument panel, door register bezels, and x-brace, while matte carbon fiber door sills, air register pods, and center console round out the modifications.

Naturally each unit will also come with a unique serialized identification plate.
The 2018 Ford GT ’67 Heritage Edition honors the GT40 Mark IV race car piloted to victory by Dan Gurney and A.J. Foyt at Le Mans in 1967.
“In creating a worthy successor to the 2017 Heritage edition, we logically looked at our next historic Le Mans victory with the all-American team of Dan Gurney and A.J. Foyt,” said Dave Pericak, global director Ford Performance. “The 2018 Ford GT ’67 Heritage edition pays homage to that win, with a modern take on one of the most important vehicles in Ford’s storied history of racing.”
