"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Thanks for posting these photos. The 'Henry Ford' has a few other photos of the clay models on their site.
I'll try to find and post a link over the weekend.

This also explains the source of a photo from the spring. (attached)

Also want to say thanks for posting.
I remember going to the design center during GT rally 10.
I think I met you at Rally 13 in Scottsdale?

The Henry Ford released a video discussion with Raj, Mark Wesbrook and Joey Hand on the GT program, interesting comments

#68 was initially displayed next to J5, and now is in a separate display room

They also have other items like the 1966 Le Mans trophy.

enjoy

I love it with the dirt and the battle damage on the driver's side.  It makes the winning GT all the more beautiful in my estimation.  Carroll Shelby's hat displayed is equally inspiring.
