You wouldn't be wrong in saying that 1967 was a formative year for the Ford Motor Company. It's arguably the most important year in the company's entire history, short of the year it was founded by Henry Ford. Part of that was down to the brand's victory at Le Mans in 1967.

And this particular Ford GT exists as a result of that historic event. It's also part of the reason this thing is easily going to crack a million bucks when the hammer falls on its auction. At least we know it'll be cheaper than buying a real GT Le Mans car. The car is up for sale over on Bring a Trailer, and it's already at a whopping $935,000 at the time of writing. This one has a few key things going for it that'll help it easily break the seven-figure mark.

First, there's the fact it's a GT Heritage Edition. Heritage Edition GTs got special liveries to commemorate the brand's victory at Le Mans, and each is slightly different. This one features a special red and white paint job, with racing numbers, of course. There's also a special graphic on the side that pays homage to one of the GT's original pilots: Dan Gurney. Gurney drovethe #1 Ford GT MK IV to victory at the Le Mans race in 1967.

Unfortunately, Gurney has since passed away. However, it does serve to make this car a little more valuable. Pessimistic, we know, but it's true. The engine cover bears his signature, and like a Van Gogh, it's worth more now that he's gone. We'd still rather have Gurney with us, obviously. Gurney's co-driver, 87-year-old AJ Foyt, has also signed this GT's carbon-fiber engine cover.

The Heritage Edition touches don't stop on the outside, either. Nor should they, for the money this thing will cost someone. Inside, there's special carbon-backed bucket seats trimmed with textured leather inserts, another Heritage nod. This being a track car to its core, it also included mounting points for a six-point harness. Sadly, this one likely won't see any track time.

With only 250 miles on the clock and those incredibly valuable signatures on the engine cover, it's sure to stay a museum piece. That doesn't stop it from being incredibly cool, however. We just wish Gurney were here to take a ride in it before it heads off to the new owner.
