One of the 3 cars in the iconic 1-2-3 Ford finish at Daytona, the #98 was marked as a key player of that year’s race season. Drivers Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby mastered the wheel of the #98, ultimately clutching the historic win. 

The Ford FE-series 427 big-block V8 engine powered the chassis which was an exact replica of the original monocoque unibody structure used in the GT40 continuation models. The chassis was designed and manufactured for strength and stiffness. with most parts being interchangeable with an original GT40.

As with every AFX recreation, attention has been paid to the finest details. Gold Halibrand Wheels, asymmetrical livery, and red R taped to the grill the same as the day Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby Drove the GT40 MkIIB #98 to victory at the Daytona 24-Hour race. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind HO scale tribute to the artistry and power of this iconic car and legendary team. 

CHASSIS: Mega G+ SHORT Wheelbase Chassis (1.5″)

Mega G+ CHASSIS

This new Mega G+ chassis doesn’t just go faster or handle better than the competition. And it doesn’t just have the ultra-low, narrow dimensions of the original Mega G to continue the reign of the most realistic HO cars on earth. It’s smoother, more consistent, and more intuitive than any car we’ve ever built.

We wanted wheel to wheel racing, lap after lap, the feel of driving a real car. But we couldn’t do it by just changing the chassis. We had to create a whole new system…
