Description
1967 was a momentous year for Ford. The 12 Hour Endurance Race at the Sebring International Raceway in Sebring, Florida took place on March 26, 1966. Ford’s MKIIB #2 barely survived the race, which stands today as one of the most disastrous events in American motorsports history. Canadian driver Bob McLean lost control of his car while approaching the famous hairpin turn. Careening into a ditch, the car burst into flames, trapping McLean inside. Later in the race, a Ferrari and a Porsche feuded through the difficult Webster turns before plowing into a group of spectators, killing four.
The drama of the race required special attention, which is why AFX’s rendition of the Sebring MKIIB #2 comes with a unique twist of characteristics. Instead of showcasing the car in all its glory before the race, we opted to display the car in its exact state the moment it crossed the finish line.
