Quote:
The three that finished were 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. They beat cars with 2 liter engines, 1.7 liter engines, and a 1.3 liter engine. Oh, and a couple of 3.3 liter ferraris. They were ther largest engines that finished besides the GT40's. 7 liter vs. 3.3 liter. Fair comparison? In 1967, a 7 liter GT40 won again, defeating a 4 liter ferrari (ther largest engine to finish besides the fords). That year 2 fords finished and 11 did not finish. The GT40 that won in 1968 and 1969 had gurney-weslake heads and was a 4.9 liter, not a 427 and was pretty much a non-ford product. Not even the block was original. In fact, in 1968 the FIA banned all engines larger than 5 liter so no 427s ran at Le Mans in 68 or 69. 68 was also the year the race was postponed until september because the frenchies were on strike.

Why would somebody bother to redact a clipping from a newspaper?
