Ordered by Carroll Shelby himself, P/1018 was built as a race car to show specification and kept by Shelby and Ford as their star demonstrator throughout the GT40’s heyday. Housed side by side with the recently retired Daytona Coupes in Shelby’s LAX premises, P/1018 helped herald in a new era of racing. Shelby, Ford, and the GT40 would get their first of four Le Mans victories less than a year later in the summer of 1966.
