wow...that was more than the NASA Mercury Program (277million)..
Ford spent 1 billion developing DOHC in the 90's. So I've read.

Source? Seems way on the extreme side for the 60's
I did some reading as I never really knew what costs manufacturers spent on development and a typical new car is up to $6B(today)! After reading that I believed it. HahaYeah, I geezered out. I rewatchef that episode. It was 360 pounds in today's money that roughly means 450 mil dollars today or by my math 50 mil in the 60's. 30 million is what I remember as a teenager, being told by an old hotroder. I'll wear the ass hat today!
Prediction...there will be a gay dude, a token black guy, an asian, a cute little girl used to jerk tears, and an anti-Trump subliminal undertone mixed in.
If you want to see two great documentaries about the original GT40, and the 2016 return of the FGT to the LeMan podium exactly 50 years later I highly suggest these documentaries currently on Netflix.
