FORD USA - RAMP TRUCK WRECKER WITH FORD GT N 2 HERITAGE EDITION 2017

The 2017 Ford GT Heritage Edition and its tow truck, together in a 1/64 scale diecast piece signed by Maisto

Maisto has been bringing car culture within reach of collectors for decades with 1/64 scale diecast vehicles made of metal. This reference 15108-2 brings together two icons in one set: the Ford Ramp Truck Wrecker —the classic ramp truck associated with the racing world— and the spectacular Ford GT No. 2 Heritage Edition 2017, the version that pays tribute to Ford's victory at Le Mans in 1966.

What this set includes

• Ford Ramp Truck Wrecker in 1/64 scale, made of metal.
• Ford GT No. 2 Heritage Edition 2017 in 1/64 scale, made of metal.
• Finished with the characteristic livery of the Ford Chip Ganassi Racing team, featuring the orange and black colours of number 2.

The Ford GT Heritage Edition 2017: history on four wheels

The Ford GT that competed in the WEC and at the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2016-2017 under number 2 carried the so-called Heritage Edition, a decoration directly inspired by the Ford GT40 MkII that won Le Mans in 1966. The orange and black colours, the white number 2, and the characteristic stripes made this car one of the most photographed of its time in the paddock. The modern racing Ford GT, with a carbon fibre body and EcoBoost V6 twin-turbo engine, surprised the world by winning its class at Le Mans in its first appearance.

1/64 scale and level of detail

The 1/64 scale is the most popular format for extensive collections and compact dioramas: the vehicles are manageable, take up little space in display cases, and allow for the recreation of paddock scenes or race transports with multiple models together. Maisto maintains a metal construction in this scale that provides the weight and solidity characteristic of diecast, with tampo-printed decoration faithful to the original livery.

Ideal for…

• 1/64 diecast collectors who follow the recent history of the Ford GT in competition.
• Fans of endurance motorsport and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
• Those who want to recreate paddock scenes or race car transports in their collection.
• A gift for lovers of the Ford brand and racing culture.

Points to consider

As a 1/64 scale model made of metal, it is designed as a collectible piece for display in a showcase, not as a toy for intensive use. It is recommended to handle it carefully to preserve the finishes of the decoration.
