Long before Ford took on Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the 1960s, it was clear to Henry Ford (the 1st) that racing was a crucial aspect to selling cars, even at a time when most people didn't own them. We now historically associate Ford with mass production and accessibility, but back in the early 1900s, most Americans saw cars as a luxurious, unapproachable dream, sort of the way we might view private jets now. Cars were generally fast little novelties you watched in races, and not something you ever imagined owning.

With such a low production number, it’s sad to see that not every example has had the best existence after leaving the factory. The VINWiki YouTube channel has unearthed an abandoned GT left to rot in a garage for 15 years that’ll require as much disinfectant as soap to get clean. But it’s not all bad news.

Chevrolet is now committed to debuting the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 on July 25, 2024. The wait has been brutal for the Corvette faithful as the ZR1 is the car that dreams are made of. The ZR1 signifies a pinnacle vehicle in the Chevrolet food chain, and it is expected that the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 will blow the doors off its competitors, including the Corvette Z06.
