AFX Ford GT40 Mark IV #3 LeMans HO Scale Slot Car

Experience the legend of the Ford GT40 Mk IV with this meticulously crafted HO scale slot car from AFX. Limited to a small serial count, this model captures a racing saga that blends ambition, tragedy, and triumph. Only 10 were ever produced, with about half taking to the track, turning this miniature into a coveted piece for fans and collectors alike.

Two pages of history stand out when you view this model: Sebring 12 Hours and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The real car broke records and carried the weight of a dramatic era, and this replica aims to honor that heritage without overstating promises. It’s a learning tool for understanding classic endurance racing, a conversation piece for display, and a tactile homage to a storied chassis.

Authentic craftsmanship and engineering

• Engineered for longevity and speed
• U.S.-crafted new chassis and bodywork
• Kar Kraft, a secretive operation, built the chassis and bodywork
• NASCAR-style roll cage installed
• Historical context: Ken Miles’ J-Car testing and its impact on the era

The result is a presentation-ready model that feels tangible: the weight, the lines, the way the cockpit invites a closer look. The material choices and precise detailing offer a tactile sense of scale that enhances both display and storytelling for enthusiasts.

What you’ll notice when you handle it

From the gleam of the paint to the crisp edge lines, the model exudes a sense of speed captured in a still moment. The chassis and bodywork reflect careful engineering, while the integrated roll cage provides a recognizable silhouette for fans of NASCAR-style detailing.

Display, dioramas, and collector appeal

• Ideal as a focal point on a shelf or desk for model rail setups
• Great for diorama scenes that recreate mid-20th-century endurance racing aesthetics
• Subtle storytelling through a compact form factor, without overwhelming space

For display and collection, this AFX model offers a balanced combination of historical resonance and scale-accurate features. It invites exploration, from the model’s silhouette to its understated performance cues, without promising outcomes that cannot be guaranteed. Consider it a possibility for enriching a display, a conversation starter, and a reminder of a dramatic racing era.
