If memory serves, the original GT placed 1-2-3 at Lemans. Yep, that was the 1966 race. Ford GT-40s also won the '67, '68 and '69 races at Le Mans. 1966 was the only 1-2-3 sweep, though - I *think*.

In fairness to the Ferrari lovers (aren't we all), I understand that the GT design was a Ford/Ferrari JV. Supposedly Ford was in discussions to buy Ferrari but the deal fell apart because Ferrari was worried about being swallowed up and ruined by Ford.
The GT does have Ferrari-esque lines.
