Say Hello To The New Ford GT ‘67 Heritage Edition
The difficulties of getting hold of a new Ford GT have been well documented. Even with an extended production run demand is far out-stripping supply, and Ford only sells to those who pass its application process.
Now there’s another Ford GT to ogle, and you probably have even less chance of getting one. It’s called the ‘67 Heritage, and it’ll be made in “limited quantities” for the next model year. So in other words, it’s a limited version of an already limited car.
It’s a follow-up to the ‘66 Heritage, commemorating the Ford GT40’s 1967 24 Hours of Le Mans win, where its predecessor celebrated the legendary racing car’s 1966 victory.
Again, it focuses on trim changes rather than mechanical upgrades. The exterior is finished in Race Red, complemented by white stripes, an exposed carbonfibre package and some ruddy great race numbers. 20-inch, one-piece forged wheels fill each arch, with black wheel nuts to contrast the rim’s silver satin finish.
On the inside, you’ll find new leather trim on the carbonfibre seats with red stitching, red seat belt ‘webbing’, anodised grey paddle shifters and various bits of “satin dark stainless” trim.
Finally, there’s an identification plaque, just so everyone knows this isn’t a run-of-the-mill GT. In case they missed the massive race numbers.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Or you could wrap yours to look like this….although yeah, this will probably be worth more in the long run.
Yup
We’ll see one in 50 years with only 2000 miles on the clock, in a shed, or getting auctioned.
i will make a shout out once that happens since im a small kid i can do it
Hello Ford GT ‘67 Heritage Edition!
Ahhh… car companies making cars to commemorate the day they shat all over their doubters and rivals.
cough Ferrari cough
Most car companys say things like “racing-red” Ford on the other hand calls it “thing we humiliated at LeMans-red”
I WANT IT
What a beautiful machine that is ! And I’ll never own one. Damn life is unfair ! :D
Never say never
Stop mucking about, Ford, and give us the Gulf Edition!
for when a 400k Ford isn’t expensive enough
I wonder if next year they will make a ‘68 Heritage edition’ and a ‘69 Heritage’ in 2019 then maybe in 2078 they will make a ‘16 Heritage’ and so on
Do we really need another one.. Just do we really need another one..
